Introduction
Melissa 🎉 | Private Swim Instructor & Aquatics Specialist
“Building confident swimmers—one stroke at a time.”
About Me
With nearly a decade of hands-on aquatics experience, I bring a strong blend of professional teaching, safety expertise, and genuine passion to every lesson. Since 2016, I’ve worked with swimmers of all ages and skill levels—from hesitant beginners to competitive youth—creating fun, personalized sessions that build both technique and confidence.
I’ve served as an Aquatics Director and held leadership roles across multiple programs, which has deepened my understanding of water safety, program development, and team coordination. My goal is to not only teach swimming, but to spark a lifelong love of the water in every swimmer I meet.

Melissa is an absolute gem! When my seven yearold daughter first jumped into the water, she was terrified and clinging to the wall. After just six private sessions with Melissa, she’s confidently swimming laps and even diving off the side. Melissa’s patient, upbeat style and clear feedback made all the difference. she tailored each lesson to our goals and celebrated every success, big or small. We can’t wait to keep signing up for more!

I’ve always known how to swim, but I wanted to really build up my endurance and become a stronger swimmer overall. Melissa Femino was the perfect instructor to help me get there. She was super encouraging, really knowledgeable, and knew exactly how to push me without it ever feeling overwhelming. Thanks to her, my stamina and technique have improved so much. I’m way more confident in the water now, and I actually look forward to swimming laps! Couldn’t recommend her more if you’re looking to take your swimming to the next level.

Signing up with Melissa was the best decision we made last summer! As adults, my husband and I were both nervous about getting back in the water, but Melissa’s upbeat energy and clear instruction put us at ease immediately. In just a few weeks, we’ve improved our strokes, built endurance, and we genuinely look forward to each lesson. She’s professional, punctual, and truly cares about your progress. Highly recommend for swimmers of any age!
