Hello families! My name is Riley Thomas. I am a college student and I have been swimming since I was 4 years old. I swam competitively for Newport for about 5 years and also swam for my high-school team. I am a firm believer in that swimming is essential to learn at a young age to build survival skills, confidence, and prepare for things like swim team and other competitive water sports. I have experience teaching a variety of ages and abilities, ranging from kids who are just getting comfortable with the water to others who are in preparation to join swim team. I am so excited to help your child reach their goals in their swimming career and look forward to hearing from you!

My name is Shaiya Fox, I am a student at Newport High School. Growing up in AZ meant I was swimming before I could walk. I love working with children, especially younger kids and watching them grow as they are excited to learn something new. I had an amazing teacher when I was learning to swim so I hope that I am able to help kids move forward and learn a skill that is very useful.

Hi I’m Jada! I graduated from Newport High School and am attending Western Washington University. Growing up around the pool, I found my love for swimming and being in the water. As a competitive swimmer for over eight years, I enjoy sharing my experience to higher levels by teaching technique and the competitive aspect of the sport. I also love teaching younger swimmers who may be nervous of the water how to be safe and share the excitement of swimming! I have been teaching lessons for 3 years now and am also available to teach intro to synchronized swimming! With flexible availability, I look forward to continue teaching swimmers, both children and adults, to love the water as much as I do! (I am fully vaccinated.)

Hey! My name is Griffin and I am currently a student at Hazen High school. I have been swimming since before I could remember and most of my fondest childhood memories are from Newport Hills Swim & Tennis Club. Currently I am swimming competitively with a club team and my high school team. I can work with all ages, from getting kids comfortable in the water to perfecting their stroke technique. I love teaching kids and seeing them become more confident in not only the water but in themselves!

Hey parents! My name is Sydney Marith, I am a sophomore in High school and have been swimming in the summer swim league since I was in third grade. I think that teaching children to swim at a young age is an incredibly important skill to have. And while it can be a life saving tool, it can be such an amazing skill when it comes to playing with friends and even being on swim team. I can’t wait to work with your child, and can assure you that not only with they have a great time but he/she will learn so much, with you as involved in the process that you’re wanting to be. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Howdy! I’m Cole Shultz, and I’ve been involved with swimming since before I could walk. Growing up in the neighborhood has meant I’ve spent countless on the pool deck here at Newport Hills, and I started working as a group lesson instructor and lifeguard in the summer of 2018 and haven’t stopped helping kids in the water since. I even had the privilege of being able to coach our swim team last summer and will be doing so again this season too!
I also have experience with both competitive club swimming for King Aquatic Club and varsity high school swimming for our hometown Newport Knights, which has given me a unique insight into how the sport works and the best ways to improve your stroke. I will be available for private lessons starting May 16th and am excited to work with your child! |

Hi! I’m Maddie Hagen, and I was a competitive swimmer for 13 years with NHSTC and Bellevue Club. While in college, I coached the summer swim team at NHSTC and am now heading the Swim Lessons Program. I am able to work and communicate with swimmers of all levels (kids, teens, adults): from new swimmers working on water basics and safety to experienced swimmers who need stroke/technique refinement. I meet people where they are and do my best to ensure learning to swim is enjoyable and successful! *charges different rate |

The opportunity to coach Midlakes Water Polo this year is a blessing. I started doing Midlakes swimming when I was 7 which quickly turned into club swimming until I was 12.
During those Summers I was introduced to Midlakes polo and loved the sport. I started doing year-round Water Polo when I was 13 and am now traveling to the junior Olympics to compete with fellow coach, Alex Rowland. I hope to inspire a new generation of polo players for the neighborhood and have some fun along the way! |

Hello! My name is Emily Vukmir. I have taught swimming lessons for over 20 years. I loved teaching swimming so much that I became a Montessori teacher. The most important things for me as a teacher are being patient and making sure the skills are being correctly taught and explained. For the last 6 years I have been teaching at a Montessori Kindergarten in Beijing, China. While in Beijing I was also teaching private swim lessons. The most rewarding aspect of teaching swim lessons for me is when a child can swim a little bit or does something new and excitedly tells me “I did it.”

Hi I’m Lauren! I will be a senior at Newport High School in the fall. I have always loved the water and swimming. Working at the club the past 4 years has really brought out my love of swimming and teaching. I’ve been teaching swim lessons since November 2019. I teach all skill levels from beginners to those who want to perfect their skills. I enjoy teaching because I remember how much I loved swim lessons as a kid, and want to give that same experience to new swimmers. I’m available most days through out the week just contact me to schedule a time :) I am also fully vaccinated!
