Our Staff

Our trained instructors are constantly assessing swimmers to gauge their readiness to move up to the next skill as they improve their each one. Your swimmer’s growth happens as we encourage, inspire, and challenge them at all levels to be the best version of themselves. Our goal is to teach a love for swimming, develop dedicated athletes, and create Olympic sized dreams. Each instructor is selected not only for their love of the water and knowledge of swimming, but their ability to help each swimmer be their personal best. (FUN FACT: NSS Instructor Mackynze was one of our former coaches, Coach Bun's first students years ago and is now a seasoned instructor helping swimmers achieve their goals in the pool!)
