Frances is a very accomplished and knowledgeable swim teacher with a deep arsenal of drills. I liked the way she helped my son improve his front crawl,back crawl , and breast stroke techniques. She pointed out exactly what he needed to do and never gave up on him. She was also very responsive with communication and made sure I knew where to park . Thank you Frances!

Our child was very afraid of water and swimming before, but after only 2–3 lessons with Frances, she could already float and felt more confident. Most importantly, she loves her swim instructor. Highly recommend!

About Frances V.

I've spent over seven years as both a lifeguard and swim instructor, building deep knowledge across aquatics. I'm passionate about health and fitness and committed to helping swimmers develop skills, build confidence, and achieve their personal goals in the water.

Teaching philosophy

I personalize lessons to individual needs, whether introducing beginner basics or refining advanced technique. My lifeguard background means safety is always a top priority — I'm trained to respond swiftly to emergencies and build a secure, encouraging environment for every swimmer.
