Instructor Bios

Julie

Julie has been teaching private swimming lessons since 2016, beginning in her family’s backyard pool in Texas. Since relocating to Colorado Springs, she has continued providing individualized swim instruction from her backyard swim spa, helping children and adults develop water safety skills and confidence in the water since the summer of 2021.

In addition to her experience as a swim instructor, Julie is a registered nurse who has worked with children of all abilities in school settings since 2010. Her background in healthcare and education gives her a unique ability to connect with students, create a safe learning environment, and adapt lessons to meet individual needs.
Julie has extensive experience teaching children with physical and developmental disabilities and is committed to helping every swimmer progress at their own pace. She is certified in Basic Life Support (BLS/CPR) and prioritizes safety, patience, and encouragement in every lesson.

Julie has been married to her husband, Brian, for 27 years and is the proud mother of two young adult children. She is passionate about helping children build confidence, develop lifelong water safety skills, and enjoy the learning process.

Sara

Sara graduated from The Classical Academy College Pathways in 2026 and plans to study Mathematics at Abilene Christian University beginning in the fall. She has over a year of cumulative experience working with children in a variety of educational and recreational settings, including gymnastics instruction. Sara currently works part-time at Kinetic Gymnastics, where she teaches preschool, toddler, and elementary-aged students. Through her professional experience, she has developed strong skills in child supervision, instruction, communication, and creating safe, engaging environments for children of different ages and ability levels. Previously, Sara worked as a lifeguard at Great Wolf Lodge, where she completed extensive company training in water safety, emergency response, Basic Life Support (BLS), and lifeguarding procedures. While she does not currently maintain independent certification or licensure in these areas, the rigorous training she received provided valuable knowledge and experience in safety, responsibility, and emergency preparedness. In addition to her professional experience, Sara spent 14 years as a ballet dancer, an experience that helped her develop discipline, dedication, and respect. She is passionate about helping children learn, grow, and gain confidence in their abilities. Watching children make progress and achieve their goals is one of the most rewarding aspects of her work.
