About Lisa
I am a swim instructor/former lifeguard that is offering private or semi-private swim lessons for ages 2.5 to adult, in San Francisco or peninsula, east bay negotiable for extra travel fee. (Not farther south than San Mateo, not farther East than Oakland/Berkeley).
I have Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid and Private Insurance.
I have extensive experience teaching lessons for the past 12 summers, and have also helped manage 2 swim schools and startup another in Arizona. I have worked for Oshman Family JCC in Palo Alto, Claremont Country Club in Oakland and Green Hills Country Club in Millbrae with private clients. I have worked with fearful children and adults, stroke refinement programs, autistic and children with disabilities, and babies. I have excellent references and letters of recommendation if needed as well. I'm also a certified K-12 teacher and have 11 years professional classroom experience working with children and a master's degree in art education.
I can send a resume, references, and a copy of CPR and insurance certifications upon request.
Seeing that moment when a child makes a breakthrough and is truly swimming- especially one that was particularly averse to the water. The fact that I am doing work that literally saves lives is so rewarding!
On a whim, I applied to a swim school in college. It was a fantastic decision!

My approach is gentle but firm...I always get to know a new student and build trust, which is essential to being able to push them to try new skills in swimming.
I have worked with fearful children and adults, stroke refinement programs, autistic and children with disabilities, and babies- ages 6 months to over 75!

Lisa is patient but firm, which I love for my kids. She is very methodical about emphasizing water safety before she moves into skills, and then continues to weave it in throughout. My kids were great swimmers at an early age, and we definitely have Lisa to thank! I would recommend her again and again!
Lisa is a great swim instructor! Both of my daughters learned how to swim and got comfortable in the water in a short amount of time. Lisa is very knowledgeable and patient. My daughters really enjoyed having Lisa as their swim instructor and interacting with her. I liked how she would encourage and motivate my girls to swim. Most importantly she went over with them about water safety. Overall it was a positive and growing experience for both of my daughters.
Our kids couldn't be more different and she was great with both of them, 7 and 3 years old. She is an excellent swim teacher, we really enjoyed working with her.
Lisa has been teaching my kids for the past 5 years. She does a great job of tailoring each lesson to the individual needs of the student. She teaches technique and water safety in a fun way that my kids look forward to seeing Coach Lisa!
Teacher Lisa is the best - my older son quickly got along with her and she had him constantly challenging himself with new swimming techniques! My daughter, who was terrified of the water, was more challenging to work with but after a couple lessons, Lisa had her doing things in the water that even I was amazed at! Lisa is the best & a true professional!
Lisa is a wonderful swim instructor. This is our second year with Lisa. Truly professional! She is great with the kids- she maintains a level of seriousness so that the kids know it is learning time while keeping them happy and secure in the water. We Love teacher Lisa !!
Lisa is really patient and provides an atmosphere where kids feel safe and secure as they take their first 'steps' in the water. She is also very safety conscious and teaches initial safety tools for kids a priority, so they know what to do if they ever fall into the water (float on their backs). I also appreciated how we creates fun tasks/challenges at the end of the session so the kids are incentivized to learn. :)
Lisa is a fun, firm and efficient swim instructor. She kept our 2 young boys focused and they made quick progress with her! She is a talented artist and drew amazing pictures of their favorite Pokemon characters at the end of the season! We have fond memories of our time with Teacher Lisa. :)
Ms. Lisa is an excellent swim instructor and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is firm yet loving, she gets results and instills confidence in the children. She instructed both of my boys - their improvement was incredible. In eight lessons, my older son had the confidence to jump off the diving board and swim the length of the pool while my younger son learned how to float on his back, which was a skill he was sure he would never master.
Two thumbs up for Ms. Lisa.Lisa is great! My son is always eager to start his lesson with her. She is punctual and professional.
Lisa was warm and welcoming, yet firm and commanded my daughter’s attention. My 4-yr-old was swimming comfortably after 3 lessons with Lisa. I was amazed by her progress in such a short period. Lisa focused on the basics of water safety and enabling my daughter to be in the pool and get herself to the wall or steps with confidence. Highly recommend lessons with Lisa!
Lisa is my granddaughter whisperer! She guided our 2 /12 year old through swim lessons with precision. She adjusted her style to the moods you often find with toddlers. A+++.
Lisa was very helpful and knows how to deal with many kids and all ages! She is very thorough and taught my daughter to swim like a fish! 10 stars in my book
My kids have been working with Lisa for a few years and they LOVE her classes! She's fun to learn from but she also keeps them accountable. I could see their skill improve over time and I'm grateful to have had her as their swim coach.
Teacher Lisa is great! She is patient with young kids, but still pushes them and accomplished a lot each lesson.
