About Your Coach

Hi, I'm Isaiah.

I have been swimming for most of my life, and I love helping swimmers become safer, faster, and more confident in the water. As a former NCAA swimmer and Phoenix Swim Club coach, I have experience working with competitive swimmers and developing strong technique. As a former YMCA swim instructor and head lifeguard, I also care deeply about water safety for swimmers of all levels, whether or not they ever choose to compete.

My goal is simple: help each swimmer feel more comfortable, capable, and confident in the water.

Certifications

USA Swimming Certified Coach
CPR & Basic Life Support (American Red Cross)

My Background

A little about my experience

I have spent years in the water as a swimmer, a coach, and a lifeguard.

Swimmer

Former NCAA swimmer, conference finalist, sectional swimmer, and state finalist.

Coach

Current Phoenix Swim Club coach since May 2023. Experience coaching ages 4 to 18 across a wide range of ability levels.

Water Safety

Former head lifeguard and YMCA swim instructor with three years of lifeguarding experience. Passionate about helping swimmers become safer and more confident around water.

What I'm Doing Now

I am currently in the process of applying to medical school, but coaching remains one of the most meaningful parts of my life. I plan to continue teaching as long as I can because I love helping swimmers become safer, more confident, and more excited about the water.

What We Work On

Lessons Offered

Private lessons are tailored to the swimmer's age, comfort level, and goals.

Beginner water safety

Confidence in the water

Stroke development

Competitive technique

Nervous or hesitant swimmers

Ages 4+

Private 1-on-1 instruction

Swim lessons are an important part of water safety, but no lesson can replace active adult supervision around water.

A good fit for swimmers who need:

A safer foundation around water

More confidence putting their face in, floating, kicking, or swimming independently

Help learning freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, or butterfly

Technique work before joining or while participating in swim team

A coach who understands both water safety and competitive swimming
