Meet Marta!
With five years of competitive swimming experience and a strong foundation in stroke technique—especially breaststroke—Marta brings a calm, confident presence to every lesson. After retiring from competition, she transitioned into coaching and has since gained experience teaching swimmers of many ages, skill levels, and lesson types.
While she enjoys technical coaching, she’s especially passionate about intro and beginner levels—helping swimmers build rock-solid fundamentals like floats, submersions, and glides. Her teaching style is fun, safe, and encouraging, with a focus on building comfort in the water and steady, confidence-building progress.
She also has experience working with special needs clients, including supporting a non-verbal autistic child in a group setting. She adapts her approach to meet each swimmer where they’re at, making lessons supportive and rewarding for every student.
