Dedicated to Teaching Individuals to Swim Confidently
How Are We Different?
We know that you have lots of options and, frankly, sending your child to someone to teach them how to swim can be scary. At Swim With Alison, every person that comes into contact with your student holds the trust of our clients and the safety of their students to the absolute highest standard. We take immense pride in instructing your student to be more confident and capable in the water. How do we do that?
If you have any questions or concerns about our safety practices, training, and/or anything related to student safety, please do not hesitate to contact us at JumpIn@SwimWithAlison.com. We would love to talk to you.

About Alison
Hello! Thank you for visiting our website. I am a mother of two children, too many dogs, a spouse, Swiftie, Disney adult, and professional educator.
I have almost two decades of experience as a Professional Educator, and I am no stranger to meeting students where they are and having them excel. Taking this knowledge, along with my experience and patience from the classroom to the pool is something I take pride in.
I have been Certified by LifeguardPro as a Water Safety Instructor and ASHI CPR, First Aid and AED. My entire staff is CPR, First Aid and AED Certified, and we have developed and trained an extensive Emergency Action Plan to handle any situation while you're trusting us with your student's safety. We are prepared and ready every time class starts! We have a 2-1 student to instructor ratio, and that does not include myself. This allows me to "float" around and help every student make progress, every class.
I look so forward every year to teaching swim lessons, and we are currently closing in on breaking the 1,000 student mark during our swim classes! Being able to teach our students to be more independent, but most importantly, more safe around the water is so important to me. I know that by sending your students to my staff and I, that you are trusting us implicitly with their safety around water. We take this trust seriously and make every effort to push our students to be more independent and safe while earning your and their trust.
I love having my students become more comfortable, independent and confident in the water. I can't wait to swim with everyone this year! If you have any questions about us, please do not hesitate to reach out. See you soon!
