When starting private swimming lessons in Virginia Beach, it's important to know that your swim instructor is the best possible choice for you or your children. Many people are unsure of how to choose the best swim instructor, so we’ve compiled a list of what to look for to help you make the right decision.
1) Find a Virginia Beach Swim Instructor Who Meets the Certification Requirements
Finding a swim instructor in Virginia Beach that meets your needs hinges on them holding the correct training specifications. What does that look like? Swim instructors should have the following qualifications as a minimum:
- CPR Certification
- First Aid Certification
- Formal Swim Instructor Training/Certification
2) Make Sure the Instructor has Two or More Years of Formal Teaching Experience
For private swimming lessons, it's essential that the swim instructor have formal teaching experience. A lot of people will advertise that they have 15 years as competitive swimmer – but that simply isn't enough when it comes to private swim lessons in Virginia Beach. Just because the person has excelled at the sport themselves doesn’t necessarily make them a good swim instructor or coach. In other cases, the teaching experience is just with a few friends and family members, and that also isn't equivalent to true "teaching" experience as a qualified swim instructor.
This is something we screen for when interviewing swim instructors to join the AquaMobile Swim School Team. While a swim instructor may seem perfect on paper, there have been many occasions where we turn down swim instructors in Virginia Beach for a job because they struggle to answer questions on teaching basic swim skills. In many cases, they're used to giving informal advice to fellow swimmers who need technique refinement — as a result, they struggle to break skills down into simple steps that are digestible for novice swimmers.
That's why we recommend that the swim instructor have two or more years of formal teaching experience. This ensures that they are confident and knowledgeable, which will translate to a better learning experience for beginning swimmers. With two-plus years of experience, they'll have worked with many different student personalities and learning styles, improving their ability to adapt their teaching techniques to get students to learn quickly and effectively during private swimming lessons in your home pool in Virginia Beach.
3) Check that the Swim Instructor is Fully Insured
This is extremely important. Due to cost constraints, many independent swim instructors in Virginia Beach have no insurance coverage, which can leave you with major liability costs if an incident occurs. AquaMobile has a multi-million dollar general liability insurance policy to fully insure all our AquaMobile Swim Instructors while they're teaching our clients in Virginia Beach.
4) Look for Someone with Experience to Meet Your Specific Needs
Make sure the swim instructor is experienced teaching the age, swim level, and specific needs for you or your child. You may also be interested in looking for a swim instructor with specialized skills for your private swimming lessons in Virginia Beach.
Some areas of expertise may want to look for include:
- Experience teaching children with special needs
- Experience in parent & tot swim lessons or infant swim lessons
- Specialized in certain skills (diving, synchro, etc.)
- Competitive swim coaching
- Endurance and fitness swim lessons
Determine what specific learning goals you have for your private swim lessons to find someone who is able to meet your individual needs in Virginia Beach.
5) Do a Background Check
Consider getting a background check done on the swim instructor. This is especially important if they are coming to your own home in Virginia Beach. Knowing that the swim instructor is trustworthy and responsible will give you peace of mind, particularly if they're working with your children. Each AquaMobile Swim Instructor must pass this step as part of the normal hiring process.
6) Look For a Personality Fit with Your Child
Once you know that the instructor is qualified and experienced swim lessons, do a temperature check on the connection between the teacher and student. Do the personalities mesh well? Can the swim instructor explain concepts in a way that makes sense to you or your kids?
Some aspects of their personality to consider include:
- Does your child respond better to a high energy or calm instructor?
- Are you looking for someone who will be more firm or lenient?
- Do you want a more relaxed or strict lesson plan?
Having a strong bond between the swim instructor and child will allow for:
- Eagerness to participate in swim lessons
- More confidence in the water
- A more fun learn to swim experience
To make sure you’ve found the right swim instructor in Virginia Beach, especially if you're conducting the search independently, make sure you speak with the instructor before the first swim lesson to get a sense of their personality.
Why Water Safety Is Important
Learning how to swim is an invaluable life skill — and a great way to have some fun! And instilling fundamental swimming skills is extremely important for babies and toddlers in particular. We've gathered a few startling facts about water safety that underscore its importance:- Drowning is the third-leading cause of unintentional death worldwide, accounting for 7% of all injury-related deaths.
- There are an estimated 372,000 annual drowning deaths worldwide.
- Global estimates may significantly underestimate the actual public health problem related to drowning.
- Children, males and individuals with increased access to water are most at risk of drowning. - World Health Organization (WHO), 2014
Water safety is an important matter in any home, especially if you have a toddler or a young child. Swimming pools in Virginia Beach are fun to play in, but they can also be deadly. Instances of child drownings are a leading cause of death for children 14 and under. According to the Red Cross, more than 1 in 5 water fatalities is a child aged 1 to 4. Here at AquaMobile in Virginia Beach, we hold your child’s water safety in high regard. These are AquaMobile Swim School’s drowning prevention tips for parents to ensure your children stay safe in and around your home swimming pool.

A Few Frequently Asked Questions:
How long will it take for me to learn how to swim?
A: Each student is different different and progresses at different rates. We tailor our private swim lessons in Virginia Beach toward the individual. By booking one of our AquaMobile Swim instructors in Virginia Beach, we'll be able to get a better grasp on the skill level of the student within the first lesson or two to give you a better estimate, which will also depend on how in depth the student would like to learn.How frequently should I book private swim lessons?
A: Most students, especially children, thrive and tend to progress faster with a more intensive program of swimming lessons — that means 2-3 lessons per week, with 3 being ideal. Intensive programs of everyday private swimming lessons are also effective and work best for families who vacation or have busy summer schedules. Research has shown that skills are better acquired with regular intensive lessons rather than intermittent practice. With our experience over the past 13 years, we agree!Can I book a trial private swim lesson in Virginia Beach?
A: Trial swim lessons are not a good indicator of the progress that will be made throughout a series of 8 or more private swim lessons. The first swim lesson often establishes comfort level, as this is where the bonding and rapport between student and swim instructor begins to form. It can take 2-3 swim lessons to build that connection and trust between teacher and student, and to see visible progress. We do have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee — if you aren't satisfied after your lesson, we'll set you up with another swim instructor in Virginia Beach free of charge. If that does not remedy the problem, we're happy to provide a full refund.How soon in advance should I book my AquaMobile private swim lessons in Virginia Beach?
A: As soon as possible. Times tend to fill up quickly once we open registration, especially for times during the second half of June through August. There is often more availability in May and the first half of June. AquaMobile swim lessons are also available year round, but availability may be more limited in some areas.

BIO
Hello! My name is Nathan and I can't wait to get in the water and start teaching, but first a bit about myself. I started my college career as a mechanical engineering student at Old Dominion University but have wound up at Appalachian State University studying fermentation science and chemistry where I will be entering my senior year this fall.
My swimming career began at the age of 5 with local summer league swimming and by high school I was on a year round club team as well as my high school team competing at the state level where my best and favorite events were 100 butterfly and 200 IM. I was named captain of my high school team both my junior and senior years for my excellent leadership and dedication. I began my coaching/instructing experience at 16 helping the youngsters on my summer league team a few practices a week, by 18 I was one of the assistant coaches of approximately 180 kids aged 5-18. I held that position while also coaching my high school team during the fall and winter and lifeguarding at the Virginia Beach recreation centers. After two years coaching high school and summer league I obtained my Water Safety Instructor certification and began teaching and coaching through the Virginia Beach rec centers and guarding at the beach in Sandbridge during summers. During that time I was also a paid official for the high school swim meets, officiating district and regional championship meets. Since attending Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina, I have taken on a role lifeguarding and teaching private and group lessons at the university rec center. All together I have amassed 13 years of competitive swimming, 6 years of coaching experience at various levels, 7 years lifeguarding (with 3 summers on the beach), 5 years as a paid swim instructor, and 3 seasons as a swimming official.
In my spare time I enjoy going to the beach and body surfing, hiking, travelling, and watching Netflix documentaries. Due to the nature of my school major, I also have gotten very involved in the hobby of homebrewing beer and homemade wine. I hope to one day open my own brewery/distillery in southeastern Virginia or western North Carolina.
I am very excited to be working this summer with AquaMobile, and I can't wait to share my life long passion for the water with new swimmers.
See ya at the pool!

Specialties
As a swimmer I emphasized technique above everything else so naturally I specialize in stroke refinement and competitive swimming instructing, but have a vast amount of experience working with non swimmers of all ages. My deep understanding of the specific and minute mechanics of swimming allows me to break down my instruction into simple and effective routines that help build strong swimmers down the road.
BIO

Trashmore YMCA, Hilltop YMCA, Chesapeake YMCA, Jewish Community Center, Old Dominion University Student Recreation Center and have managed hundreds of outdoor pools in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake, Virginia.
I like bringing the best out of everyone I meet. Working in recreation has giving me the opportunity to bring a breath of fresh air to anyone wanting to have fun or release stress while helping improve their health and fitness .” In addition, I have a strong background in the aquatics field for swim instruction. I have taught swim lessons at camps for 10 summers as a Swim Instructor, Camp Counselor and Aquatics Director in Pennsylvania and Northern Virginia from preschool to teenage children. I have also worked part-time as a Swim Instructor for the YMCA of Hampton Roads for 16 years, ages ranging from 6-months to adult age at various facilities and public pools. During this time I have taught children with special needs to help their gross motor to cognitive skills, to muscle strength and endurance and improvement in overall communication skills. I have also worked with injured adults/youth to help with improvement through Aqua Physical Therapy. In addition, taught Water Aerobics and Ai Chi classes in the water to help individuals better handle stress and better increase range of motion and motor ability. I'm currently running a private Recreation Center and attending Old Dominion University to get my Liscensure in Physical Education K-12.
