Improve your swimming skills today, for a lifetime of confidence in the water.

About Me

Hi! My name is Isabella Jones and I am a Swedish Californian, who grew up in the Bay Area and has been swimming since seven years old.

With over 5 years of experience across swim instruction, lifeguarding, and coaching/ counseling students in various environments, I am well-equipped to help you or your child improve. Guiding and coaching kids has been a passion of mine for many years, and I am currently working toward becoming an elementary teacher after several years in corporate sales.

In my free time, I love to be outside in the water, exploring the mountains, or relaxing on shore. My mission is to help you or your child improve by leading with positivity and a tailored approach to support diverse needs.

Private Swim Instruction

$80 per hour ($40 per half hour)

Boost your own or your child’s skills with tailored, one-on-one lessons. Book lessons as needed or select a set package of lessons to secure time and follow a plan. First meeting will include an evaluation of skills and a collaborative conversation to agree upon an improvement plan.

*Client must provide a designated place for the lesson to take place. Either a private or public pool or open water space weather permitting.

Group Lessons

$60 per hour ($30 per half hour)

The opportunity to book shared time for up to 6 clients at once to work on improvement together. A slightly discounted option as individual attention is spread across the group, yet still effective as the group can motivate each other and play games at the end of each lesson.

*Client must provide a designated place for the lesson to take place. Either a private or public pool or open water space weather permitting.

Lifeguard On Duty

$60 per hour (negotiable depending on length of party)

Book a private lifeguard with an active certification to watch over your kids during an event at a pool, lake or ocean side party. Rest assured that kids can play safely and rules will be set for the event that will ensure utmost respect of the water and attendees. I bring over 5 years of lifeguard and swim instruction experience, with a 3x certification (dated back to 2013).

FAQs

  • It all began when I started swimming for my local swim club (Fairbrae) in Sunnyvale California when I was 7. I loved the feeling of swimming fast and learning how to improve thanks to the fun coaches I had. By 15, I trained to become a lifeguard and began working seasonally. That quickly steered me to coaching, and I landed the Assistant Coach position for the 2015 season. After that, I started group lessons and private lessons at the Cabana Club, the YMCA, and in private homes across the Bay Area. With countless positive experiences and word of mouth referrals, I continued to run lessons until my second year in University. With both formal and informal training, I am an enthusiastic coach eager to support everyone I work with to become a more confident swimmer!

  • Feel free to book through the booking option on this website. If that does not work please text, call or email me to set up a time. Payment can be either cash, Venmo, check or in the form of gift cards. Payment will be taken at the start or end of the lesson.

  • Currently, I do not have access to a pool where I can host lessons. This means I rely on my clients to help me with this, by offering up their home pool, a public pool they have access to, or an open water space that we can meet at (such as Lake Washington or Golden Gardens, weather permitting).
