She is an amazing swim instructor. She broke down every technique into simple steps and challenge you at just the right pace without any pressure. Her patience, clear instructions, and positive attitude helped me build real confidence and solid skills in the water. I would definitely purchase another session in the future.

I'm so thankful I found Mary!! I hired her for 3 sessions and my grandkids (8 & 12) did so well with her that we added a 4th. She is clear, receptive, encouraging and patient. She also was flexible with our schedule. Mary is everything I wanted in a swim instructor!

As an adult, I was pretty hesitant to try swimming again after a bad experience. After hiring Mary I not only learned to swim, but got over the fear that had been holding me back for many years. Thanks for everything Mary!

Mary is an amazing swim instructor to my 3 children. I'm so happy I found her. She is patient, always on time, and my kids really enjoy swimming after a tough prior experience at a different school.

As an adult learning to swim, I wanted to find an instructor that was going to going to be patient yet push me to hit my goals. Swim 365 did that and more for me. A great experience from a wonderful person and I still call when I need extra coaching!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I come to your pool. I travel throughout Los Angeles and Orange County.
I offer 30 minute, 45, and 60 minute private and group lessons. Lessons are customized to each client.
I provide my clients an exceptional swimming experience. My clients succeed in learning to swim. They become like family and most remain with me for an extremely long time. Because of that, I do not require contracts, charge mileage, or require cancellation fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After you book your first lesson, I will call or email you. We will go over your goals for swimming and I will tailor the lessons specifically for you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching swim for over 20 years. I have a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice and am a former Federal Investigator. As an expert swim instructor, I'm confident in helping children and adults mentally and physically learn to swim. I absolutely love teaching swim and prefer being in the water daily! I'm a former stay-at-home mom and have three children of my own. AED, Adult, Child, Infant CPR & AED Training (BLS) certified. Cleared for Top Secret security clearance with U.S. Federal Government.
