Coach Carla  

 

Hi! I'm Coach Carla!

 

I've been teaching kids to swim since 1993 (mentor & volunteer)

 

I've provided effective swim lessons for children and adults in Southern Orange County; since 2001. I have shared my expertise with athletes, coaches, and parents as a Private Coach, High School Head Coach and Assistant coach for many over the years.  

 

I was a competitive swimmer  for Irvine NOVA Aquatics and Mission Viejo Nadadores. I was on the Pre-Nationals team at age 12 and continued my athletic career in high school.  

​

After a common injury as a swimmer and polo player I was forced to take a break from training and began coaching high school water polo and swim. After seeing the lack of swim skills from new athletes in high school I decided to become an independent private coach. ​

​

If you're looking for a coach who will teach your child to swim in 4-8 lessons(varies with age and child); I'm the coach who can do that. If you want your water polo athlete to have amazing accuracy when shooting or learn how to turn or skip, or improve on goalie skills; I can do that in 1-2 lessons. If you want your child to pass swim club or junior lifeguards tryout; I do that too! ​​​

​

I coach year round so please don't hesitate to contact me during school year for private lessons.
