The Miss Yvonne Swim School has been teaching people to swim since it opened 2002.
Serving over 200 students each year!
Hello Swimmers! Miss Yvonne here, believe it or not, I learned to swim at the late age of 15. Shortly thereafter my passion for swimming began, I then quickly became certified as a Water Safety Instructor (American Red Cross WSI Certified) and as a Lifeguard (American Red Cross CPR, First Aid & AED certified).
Letter from miss Yvonne
Since 2002, I have taught individuals of all ages and abilities both in small group & private swim lesson settings. I am equipped with an undergraduate degree from Stevens Institute of Technology (where I swam on the Division III NCAA Varsity Team) and a Master's Degree in Physical Education. I have been a licensed educator in the State of NJ for nearly 10 years (majority PreK). I also taught swimming as a Health & Physical Education teacher for two years at the Middle School level. My experience spans from coaching proficient swimmers on the club swim team to working as a Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor.
I love finding ways to creatively integrate my unique experiences into our swimming classes by encouraging children to love exercise by swimming! The MYSS Swimming Curriculum was created based on my experience and knowledge as an ARC instructor, combined with my Early Childhood Education experience in the classroom. Together, this curriculum has been fine-tuned for over a decade, based on the experiences of our swimmers and instructors in order for us to provide the highest quality instruction. The MYSS Curriculum was created to offer individualized instruction, even though most of our swimmers are in a small group setting.
At MYSS, our team is very excited to share our love of swimming and passion for having fun in the water in a safe instructional environment. Our programs will immerse your child in water experiences led by trained and insured Swim Instructors. Together we can create memories and a foundation that will last a lifetime becoming Strong, Safe, and Confident Swimmers together!
