Hi! I’m Ms. Tina, a mom of four and a lifelong water lover. With over 18 years of swim instruction experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching swimmers of all abilities — from tiny 2-month-old beginners to confident advanced swimmers.
Beyond the pool, I bring over 10 years of experience as a General Manager of swim schools and more than 3 years in recruiting, giving me a deep understanding of both swimmer development and building strong, supportive teams. I specialize in working with swimmers with special abilities, always leading with patience, encouragement, and heart.
My lessons focus on water safety, confidence, and creating a positive, fun environment where swimmers — and parents — feel supported every step of the way. Teaching isn’t just what I do; it’s my passion, and I love helping families make waves together!
I personalize each lesson to your child’s needs, building confidence, safety, and strong swim skills through fun, encouragement, and proven coaching methods.
Whether it be a beginner swimmer or AA rated swimmer, a typical lesson includes warm-ups, customized skill work, and positive coaching to build confidence, safety, and strong swimming skills.
A lifelong swimmer since age 10, I competed with COPS and Metroplex Aquatics and swam on my high school team, developing a deep passion for the sport. I’ve coached at every level — from teaching swim lessons for over 18 years to leading the McKinney Sea Lions for two summers and coaching the University of Houston’s Masters team. My experience spans working with swimmers of all ages and abilities, from infants to adults, focusing on water safety, skill development, and building confidence in every athlete. Combining hands-on instruction with a strong leadership background, I bring expertise, passion, and encouragement to every swimmer I mentor.

I’m not just a swim instructor — I’m a lifelong swimmer, mom of four, and coach who truly understands each child’s unique needs. I focus on safety, skill-building, and confidence while keeping lessons fun and encouraging every step of the way.
Browse our roster of vetted private coaches to find the right fit for you.
Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
