About
Meet Brenda
I’m thrilled to be part of the Oregon community! With over 40 years of experience, I’m passionate about helping children develop a strong foundation in swimming. As a former Aquatic Director, I’ve honed my skills in teaching a wide range of students, from beginners to advanced swimmers. I recently relocated from Monroe to be closer to my grandchildren and am excited to continue sharing my love for swimming.
My goal is to create a fun and engaging learning experience that instills a deep appreciation for water safety. Whether your child is taking their first dip or looking to refine their technique, I’m committed to providing personalized instruction that meets their unique needs.

Personalized Lessons
I work with each student to tailor a lesson plan to fit the student’s skill level and goals. Personalized lessons make the learning process quick, easy and fun. Any weaknesses can be worked on for longer periods of time and strengths can be built upon.
Life-saving Skills
Water safety is my top priority. My lessons teach essential life-saving skills, such as floating, treading water, controlling breathing, and mastering basic strokes that empower your child to stay safe in and around the water.
A Love for Swimming
I will help your child develop a lifelong love for swimming through engaging drills and techniques.
Confidence & Independence
As your child progresses, they’ll gain confidence and independence in the water, setting them up for a lifetime of aquatic adventures.

What PARENTS are saying about BRENDA
The joy of swimming
My daughter Oaklynn started lessons with Brenda this past summer. She is strong willed but yet was very fearful of water. Brenda helped my daughter concur these fears and taught her not only water safety but how to swim on her own safely at the age of 3 years old. We look forward to continuing lessons with her in the future and are very excited for her new journey in Oregon!

Water fun, safety first
My kids started with Brenda at 2.5 and 4.5 and we have loved every minute of our time with her. Watching our children fall more and more in love with swimming and learn essential swimming and safety skills has been amazing. She is as loving as she is strict and that is something we really appreciate. Water safety is no joke and it is at the center of every class. We love you Brenda thank you!

Fast learning environment
We have only been swimming with Brenda for the last 4 months-but our girls have learned so much. My 4 and 6 year old are both swimming on their own and now have so much confidence in the water. We are so grateful for Brenda getting them started and will miss her immensely!
Best of luck to her next adventure-we’d take her back anytime!

A positive influence
My 4 kids have been swimming with Brenda for probably close to 7 years .. I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate what she has taught them, not only has she made them fabulous swimmers, but I can honestly say, she has helped them grow as people as well. She has taught them how to be coachable, respectful people, which has carried over in to all their other many sports teams/activities, and I am so thankful for that! We are sad that our time swimming with Brenda is coming to an end, as she has become like part of our family, but we know it’s time to let her go on to teach a whole new group of kids, oh how lucky they will be to have her instructing them! Our family is forever grateful to you Brenda! We wish you nothing but the best (even though a selfish part of me wants to beg you to stay!!)

Swim with confidence
I reached out to Brenda when we purchased a pool. Even though we installed a fence, a locked gate and cameras with an alert system for added safety, I wanted my girls to know how to get to safety in the event they ever fell in water. My two girls, now 2 and 4 (each with very different personalities from one another), absolutely love Brenda and have both taken to her teaching so well. My 4-year-old daughter is swimming multiple strokes and my 2-year-old daughter is able to effortlessly turn to her back for air or get to the side of the pool. Seeing them confidently swim and learn those safety skills (plus effective swimming skills) has given my husband and I such peace of mind and we’re so grateful for Brenda. We can’t recommend her enough!

Overcoming water fears
As a new mom one of my biggest fears was water safety knowing how fast something can happen in the blink of an eye… this fear only amplified after my son was diagnosed with autism and struggled with many aspects of water. We had introduced our boys who are now 4 & 5 into water discovery at an early age but never gained confidence in their actual ability to be safe in and around water…that was until we met Brenda! We first met Brenda when helping take a friend’s kids in for their lessons and immediately I knew- we need Brenda in our life! Brenda has a passion for water safety and has made it a point to not only instill the ability for my boys to swim safely but has helped them gain both confidence and passion for being in/around the water! She has navigated my son’s sensory and physical limitations with ease and has extended and catered to my other son’s love for water and learning in such a personal way! Swim lessons has become the highlight of our week and my kids are always asking when their next lesson is!

What are the advantages of private swim lessons?
Private swim lessons offer tailored instruction, allowing your child to progress at their own pace and focus on areas that need extra attention. This personalized approach can lead to faster learning and increased confidence in the water.
How long does it take to learn to swim?
How long it takes to learn to swim varies from child to child. Factors like age, body type, maturity, focus, stamina, and motivation all play a role. Even two kids the same age, with the same instructor, and equal enthusiasm for swimming can reach different milestones at different paces. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to learning to swim.
