OUR TEAM

Timm teaches ALL levels and has a soft spot for swimmers who are new to swimming, shy, or those who need some extra encouragement in a group setting. 

Timm took the opportunity to further develop his skill set while swimming in college. He is thrilled to have been able to pursue his passion for teaching swimming lessons, and coaching swim teams, for over 20 years. He has developed a positive teaching style, with a focus on building confidence and skills progression. His classes are FUN, loosely structured, and fast-paced.  This approach keeps swimmers moving and focused on the task at hand.  He is also Autism Swim certified.

Krissy teaches ALL levels: Parent/Child, Water Intro, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; as well as Private and Semi-private lessons.

Krissy has been working in aquatics for 16 years and truly enjoys the opportunity to work with all types of swimmers from infants to adults.  Krissy has the unique ability to connect with a beginner-level swimmer but is also able to provide a more detailed level of training and stroke mechanics as the swimmer progresses through the program. As a big fan of the 100 Individual Medley, she enjoys teaching all four strokes.  She does, however, consider the breaststroke her favorite to teach.  Krissy takes pride in her ability to break down the mechanics of each stroke in a way that the swimmer can understand.  Krissy feels that there is nothing better than making that connection and seeing what her swimmers can do!  Finding that “special sauce” that motivates each one of her swimmers to improve and overcome fears, is what motivates her to come to work every day.

Chelsea teaches ALL levels: Parent/Child, Water Intro, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; as well as Private and Semi-private lessons.

Chelsea’s extensive coaching and swimming experience are showcased in her daily swimming lesson plans. She is very compassionate and strives to create an environment that is fun, warm, and welcoming to all. Her specialty is working with the younger swimmer who has a desire to work on more advanced skills. She tailors her approach to each swimmer by providing challenges and increasing the level of difficulty, as appropriate for each swimmer, to build skills and confidence.

Jess teaches ALL levels: Parent/Child, Water Intro, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; as well as Private and Semi-private lessons.

Jess has always had a love of swimming and has been working with children for 15+ years. She also has extensive experience working with children with special needs.  She brings a ton of patience and understanding of the challenges of teaching a younger swimmer but also has a great understanding of what is needed to connect with older children.  As a mom herself, she knows how to keep the children interested and engaged.

Sharon teaches Parent/Child, Adult, Water Introduction, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, and Intermediate; as well as Private and Semi-private lessons.

Sharon joined her first swim team in Tampa, Florida at the age of eight.  She regularly competed and excelled at many of the top championship meets, including Junior Olympics and Nationals.  She also had the opportunity to train with Olympic swim coach Randy Reese in Gainesville, Florida.  Sharon’s experience as a top-level competitor allows her to connect with swimmers of all abilities.  She is an experienced swim instructor whose warm and supportive approach benefits all ages and abilities.  Helping her students progress into confident swimmers is one of the most rewarding aspects of her job. She also enjoys all types of music, and spending time with family.

Jonathan teaches Water Introduction, Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced; as well as Private and Semi-private lessons.

Jonathan’s passion for teaching people to swim and the sport of swimming is evident in everything that he does for the program.  Jonathan swam competitively in high school and learned many meaningful and insightful lessons along the way. Those experiences continue to help him to this day. He is eager to share what he has learned and is very thoughtful in his approach to each swimmer. Jonathan strives to bring those life-saving, exciting, and very important skills to all of his students. He will tell you that if you are 6 months, 106 years, or anywhere in between, it is never the wrong time to start swimming!  Jonathan is thrilled to work with every level of swimmer and is so thankful for the opportunity to do it every single day!
