Hi my name is Tyler. I swam competitively in high school and college and have been teaching swimming in Prescott for almost three years. I am currently a swim coach for the Prescott Swim Team, and an Adjunct Faculty member for the HPER Department teaching Swim Fitness. My goal is to help kids have fun while swimming, but also have them focus on hard work and technique in lessons. I only teach kids who are advanced, competitive swimmers, and know the basic strokes. Please note: I am NOT taking any new families. I only teach to those who have already gotten approval from me. Thank you!
Meghan Kloos - A little bit about me! I was born and raised in Prescott, and am currently home for the summer after finishing my junior year at NAU.

I am so excited to be teaching this summer and hope to see you at the pool!

My name is Sue Arriola. I am a senior life long swim instructor, lifeguard and scuba diver. My primary enjoyment comes from teaching swim lessons to children and adults. I enjoy teaching children of all ages (4 years+) and adults to swim and experience the benefits of being comfortable and safe in the water.
I swam competitively in high school and continued with the Masters swim program for a few decades. I have also swam open water in most lakes in Arizona, the La Jolla rough water swim and have even completed the Alcatraz challenge in California.
I am currently certified as a lifeguard, which includes First Aide and CPR/AED training. I have worked as a pharmacist for many years, but now hang out at the pool in my spare time. Please contact me if you would like private lessons and/or have any questions
