Teaching Experience; With over 20 years in the childcare field, I bring a wealth of expertise as a swim instructor and beyond. I’ve worked with children of all abilities— from home learners and kids on the spectrum to those with limited mobility or diverse needs. My background as a behavior interventionist has honed my skills in creating supportive, effective learning environments, making every swim lesson a chance to grow and thrive. Unique Style: My teaching style is a blend of patience, adaptability, and pure enthusiasm! I tailor each lesson to fit the individual—whether it’s a little one dipping their toes in for the first time or an adult building confidence in the water. I’m all about turning challenges into victories with a bubbly, encouraging approach that keeps the energy high and the progress steady. What Makes Me Great: What sets me apart? I’m genuinely excited to teach, and it shows! My passion for helping others—paired with my knack for connecting with students—creates a fun, safe space where everyone feels empowered. From celebrating tiny wins to tackling big goals, I’m your cheerleader in and out of the pool, dedicated to making every splash a success! I hope to meet all of you soon. Santana Shaw

HIGHLY recommend Santana for lessons!
Before our daughter started lessons with Santana, she wouldn’t even get her face wet in the bath—she was extremely nervous around water and scared to let go of an adult, even in shallow areas. We enrolled her hoping she’d gain some basic swimming confidence and safety skills, especially since we spend so much time around pools and lakes in the summer. To our surprise and absolute delight, by the end of her very first class with Santana, she was jumping into the water on her own! Santana’s patience, understanding, and genuine passion for teaching completely transformed our daughter’s relationship with water. She felt safe, encouraged, and proud of herself—something we hadn’t seen before in a pool setting. Now she proudly tells everyone she’s a mermaid and asks to go swimming every chance she gets. Her confidence has soared, and we owe that entirely to Santana’s incredible approach. We’re so grateful for the positive impact she’s had and would recommend her to any family without hesitation.

Wonderful, intuitive teacher!
My neuro-spicy son has always been afraid of the water. We tried city lessons, and they were a huge waste of time for us. On the first lesson with Santana he went from hiding under a chair in the lobby to happily kicking his feet in the water. After lesson 3, he said, “mommy I loved my swimming lesson and I never want another teacher ever in my life” which was a huge deal. She has tons of personal experience with neuro-atypical kids, which was why I chose her initially. She showed her understanding of that when she had my son spend some time floating on his back which led to a full day of miraculous regulation. So happy we found Santana!
