About Me:
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!
How I can help you improve your game:
I personalize each lesson to your child’s needs, building confidence, safety, and strong swim skills through fun, encouragement, and proven coaching methods.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
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.
Career summary and accomplishments:
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
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.
How do I book lessons?
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.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
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!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
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.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
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.
When is the coach available to train?
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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
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!
