Mr. Kevin Deck Supervisor

My favorite aspect of working at SafeSplash is fostering water safety and confidence in our young swimmers. I've been a part of the SafeSplash team for 1 year and was inspired to become a swim instructor by my passion for open water freediving and swim education.

I teach class every day to all age groups and skill levels.

I incorporate engaging activities and effective techniques to ensure our lessons are both educational and enjoyable for our students.

Mr. Mike Instructor

I chose SafeSplash because it was a friendly environment and I love working with kids.

I like teaching the Beginner levels and ages 7 and below. I teach on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

My love to work with children inspired me to become an instructor!

I enjoy working at SafeSplash because of all of my students I've gotten to meet and my co-workers too!
