Our kiddo's been swimming with Emma for nearly a year, and his growth has been remarkable. Emma's very patient and accommodating, and is able to engage his attention during his lessons! I'd highly recommend her.

Emma was great with my kids. She made them feel at ease in the water and built their confidence quickly. She gave special attention to key skills like breath control, floating, and gliding. Her warm, patient teaching style kept the lessons both fun and engaging. My kids loved learning with her and are already counting down the days until their next swim session!

Emma has helped build swimming confidence for our 6 year old, who is now like a little fish! She also has started our 3 year old and is patient with her (occasional) stubbornness ;)

About Emma S.

Swimming has always been a passion of mine, but teaching is what I love most. For over 3 years, I’ve helped swimmers of all ages and abilities build confidence, learn new skills, and reach their goals. I love seeing my swimmers progress and creating fun, supportive lessons that make them excited to learn and proud of what they achieve!

Teaching philosophy

I personalize every lesson to each swimmer’s goals and ability, from first-time swimmers to competitive athletes. My technique-focused coaching emphasizes body position, breathing, kicking, and stroke mechanics to build confidence, improve efficiency, and help swimmers progress as quickly as possible.

A typical first lesson

Every first lesson starts with a quick assessment of your swimming experience, comfort level, and goals. I’ll identify your strengths and areas for improvement, then tailor the lesson to your needs. You’ll leave with personalized feedback, improved technique, and a clear plan for future progress.
