Hello! You can call me Coco and I’m so happy you are here! My swimming journey started with a near drowning experience. It has been a passion of mine to spread the knowledge on water safety and the importance of learning to swim ever since. 
I am a Wisconsin native (born and raised in Green Bay! Go Pack Go! 💚💛🏈) and always surrounded by water. I started learning when I was five and haven’t stopped. Despite my traumatic experience, my mom made sure I continued swimming, even when she did not know how to swim herself.   
Lifeguarding and being a swim instructor was my first job at 16 years old. When I moved to Denver in 2015, I continued teaching swimming lessons as a side hustle. 
It quickly became apparent that there was a lack of swimming lessons available, yet a privilege it was to some.  It was also heartbreaking to learn that most victims of drowning in the U.S. {CDC} are people of color. I want to make my lessons more available, affordable, and accommodating. I believe that everyone can and deserves to learn to swim, regardless of race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. 
My experience includes (but not limited to): 
  • B.S. in Human Development from the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay (2015)
  • M.A. Ed, Higher Education Administration from Ashford University (2017)
  • CPR/First Aid/ AED Instructor certified since October 2023 through the University of Denver and Focus Health
  • Lifeguard certified since 2009 (expires December 2025)
  • NASM Certified Personal Trainer since May 2024
Currently, I am the Aquatics Coordinator at the University of Denver. I am pursuing a second graduate degree in Sports Coaching to enhance my career! Future goals include being US Masters Level 1 certified, Lifeguard Instructor certified, and earning my CPO (certified pool operator). 
In my free time, you’ll find me running, taking my husky for a walk, working out at local studios, and spending time with my friends & husband 🧡 Thank you for visiting my website and I look forward to getting to know you!
