Our Instructors

 I have been a competitive swimmer for 15 years as a member of a local aquatic club in India and also participated in Asia Pacific international swim meet. I graduated from Kasturba medical college, India. I believe swimming is the best sport which gives the whole body exercise with minimum injury and is suited for all age groups. To me, swimming is a life skill that every individual should acquire and enjoy.

 Swimming has been a key part of my life. I've swam for 8 years competitively and still continue to swim competitively. I've swam at regional and state level completions. I enjoy working with all ages and abilities of swimmers. I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to learn and thrive in the water. I want everyone to be able to have the proper skills to remain safe and comfortable in the water.  

I began swimming when I was four years old, and started competing when I was five. Because of the support of my coach and family, and my own dedication to the sport, I started to rank nationally when I was just ten years old and was ranked first in the country when I was fourteen in the 400 IM. I swam with and against many Olympians, and even though I didn’t make it to the Olympics myself, swimming helped me get into dream school: Harvard University. I competed for four years in college and have continued to swim since then as a way to relax and meditate; swimming truly is one of the best forms of exercise, and I love helping others learn this important and beneficial life skill.

I have always loved the water, swimming in my first WY state swim meet by the time I was 6 years old.  I competitively swam for 16 years.  During this time I broke numerous state age group and high school records, attended my first Jr. Nationals at 15 years old and was a 5X All-American in High School.  I went on to continue my swimming career at Washington State University where I was awarded most inspirational female athlete my freshman year.  I obtained 3 Top 10 Swims of All Time marks during my tenure at WSU in the 100 back, 200 back and 200 IM and swam in the C finals at the PAC 12 championship in the 100 back.  Since ending my swimming career, I have obtained my M.Ed in counseling psychology and work full time as a mental health therapist.  While I do not personally swim competitively anymore, I love to teach future swimmers how to get in touch with the water, general safety and most importantly: have fun while doing it!

I started swimming at a very young age, my love for swimming and this amazing sport has always been strong. I love working with children and it makes me very happy to be able to teach them about a sport I am very passionate about. I have competed in many different seasonal competitions and swimming camps since I began elementary school and followed my passion in swimming up until now. I have been teaching toddlers through adults for a couple years now and I absolutely love my job. I am currently a University of Washington student and swimming is the best way for me to relax. I teach in hopes of creating the best and safest environment for my students to learn and enjoy this amazing sport.

From a young age, I’ve always been passionate about swimming. Yet, I was far from being a professional at five years old. I mostly excelled in splashing around the shallow end and playing at the beach. It wasn’t until my parents enrolled me in swim lessons that my confidence grew. With my instructor’s guidance, it wasn’t long until I learned my strokes. From there, I advanced to a team level where I refined those skills. I’m excited to help other children become enthusiastic and strong swimmers.
