Lauren is an amazing swim instructor super kind, patient, and just really great at what she does. She makes learning to swim feel easy and fun, whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your strokes. She explains everything clearly and always takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and confident in the water. Thanks to her, I feel way more confident in the water and actually look forward to swimming now!

About Lauren S.

Over the past 10 years I've taught swimmers ranging from infants taking their first strokes to adults refining their technique. I previously built my private swim program, Open Ocean, entirely through word-of-mouth, reaching a point where demand exceeded capacity! I have full confidence in helping you reach your goals!

Teaching philosophy

My approach goes beyond basic level requirements. I focus on exceptional skill development, endurance training, and preparing students to excel in any aquatic environment. I don't just teach to the standard. I push students to surpass expectations and stand out among their peers.

A typical first lesson

During the first class, I will assess your comfort level with the water and your current skills. Depending on where you're at, we will create a learning pace suited to your needs. You can let me know specifically what you'd like to do, I can also make a plan, it's totally flexible to how you're feeling and what you want to get from the session!
