Hello Modesto Swimmers!
Unsinkable You will be ready for online registrations on March 16, 2025 for summer!! I'll be teaching from May 17 - October 27, 2025. Lessons are private or semi-private in my backyard pool. I teach all ages, and abilities - as long as students are toilet trained. If you are a frightened adult, I can teach you too - I’m certified with the US Masters Swimming as an Adult Learn to Swim Instructor.

FAQ’s
What is your methodology? I prefer that students learn a healthy respect of the water and are safe in it and learn to have fun. I roughly base my lessons on the American Red Cross lessons. Safety and comfort first, then technique and then speed.
Can I wear goggles? For kids - I’d require they get used to swimming without goggles. It becomes a safety concern too. Once a child gets to a certain level of proficiency, I will allow them. Adult students may wear goggles or any other accessory they wish. If adults wear contacts, goggles are necessary.
What if my child cries? Crying is totally normal! If they are crying in a very traumatized way after 2 or 3 lessons, then I will suggest waiting another season. I will not submerge a frightened student.
What should I bring? Please come dressed in your swimsuit and bring a towel, sunscreen and change of clothes if you’d like. If you have long hair, a swim cap is preferred, or tying it back is fine. If there will be younger siblings who will be waiting, perhaps some snacks and games?
Why do you require students to be toilet trained? Swim diapers may “contain” a bowel movement but they don’t waterproof anything. Urine and fecal material leak out of them.
Can I leave while my child is having a lesson? Absolutely not. I may ask you to stay out of our range of vision if there any attachment behaviors taking place. This is also a safety requirement.
What about discipline? My lessons are like baseball. I explain the rules - walking, listening and good effort. I’ll give two warnings and then on strike three, they sit out for a minute.
Do you offer refunds? In rare cases, yes.
What’s you cancelation policy? I need a two hour notice.
