Who we are

Coach Kelsey celebrating swim school graduates! 🏊‍♀️ So proud of these little swimmers — including our youngest at just 18 months old! 💦 From first splash to fearless float, Salty Dog Swim School has been building water confidence since 2007.

Hi, I’m Coach Kelsey, and I’ve been teaching children to swim since I was 17 years old. I know that for many kids, the water can feel intimidating at first—but with the right approach, swimming can become an exciting and empowering experience!

At Salty Dog Swim School, I focus on building confidence, trust, and water safety through engaging, structured lessons designed to make learning fun. Using positive reinforcement and creative teaching techniques, I help children overcome their fears and develop a lifelong love for the water.

My goal is to ensure that every child—whether they’re just starting out or refining their skills—feels safe, supported, and excited to swim. Every lesson is designed to be interactive, encouraging, and tailored to each swimmer’s needs, because I believe that every child deserves to enjoy the water with confidence!

Let’s dive in and make a splash together!
