About JJ

Always a fish myself, it was only natural that I chose to be on a swim team because that meant I could swim year round! And, since I loved being in the water so much and also loved kids, it was a logical decision to start teaching swim lessons at the age of 13.

Since then, whether it was during high school, playing water polo for UCLA, earning a Master's of Arts in Education from Pepperdine, teaching in my own classroom, or now, homeschooling my own children, I have always looked forward to my summers of helping both children and adults become not only water safe, but also proficient swimmers.

My goal first and foremost is to teach individuals of all ages to be completely safe and comfortable in the water. My second goal is to make swimming a fun activity. Lastly, I want all of my students to become life-long swimmers by learning different strokes, breathing on the side, diving, and even flip turns!

I look forward to working with you and your children this summer!
