About

Hello! My name is Josh and I’m a lifeguard with LA County Lakes and also an EMT for an ambulance company during my off season of lifeguarding! I’m currently training for LA 2028 Olympic Trials with a pro team in Pasadena at the Boys and Girls Club! I train with many Olympic Trials swimmers, including a Tokyo Medalist from 2020!! I’ve been teaching swimming lessons to all ages and also to special needs students since 2018. I first started teaching at the YMCA, then moved to a place in Long Beach called Deep Blue Swim School, then to the Rose Bowl Aquatic Center, and currently helping a friend in Huntington Beach over there coach his swim team! I’d LOVE and very willing to help anyone know how to swim, as swimming is a huge and major passion of mine and teaching students as well!
