Damya is an excellent swim instructor. She is kind and can teach to any level. She taught my daughter (10) and myself (45) at the same time.

About Damya S.

I'm a certified Swim Instructor and National Lifeguard with over 10 years of experience teaching swimmers of all ages. Whether working with a complete beginner or someone looking to refine their skills, I adapt my approach to meet each swimmer where they are.

Teaching philosophy

My teaching style is patient, supportive, and tailored to individual needs. I specialize in calm, confidence-building lessons focused on proper technique, safety, and helping each swimmer grow at their own pace. Creating a relaxed, positive environment where students feel safe and encouraged is at the heart of every lesson I teach.
