Nice to meet you! I'm Emily Bradley!

I have been teaching backyard lessons and helping children learn to be safe and love the water for 20 years.

I have been teaching backyard lessons and helping children learn to be safe and love the water for 20 years.
I started teaching swim lessons in pools around Los Angeles, and after the birth of my first kiddos, (twins who are now 10 years old,) we moved to Seattle and no one had a pool! So I found one…. and then another. I’ve been teaching lessons at home ever since we came here. The methods I’ve developed with my expertise in both water safety and child development have made learning to swim a magical experience for hundreds of children over the years! Complementing my work in the water is also my career work as a Parent Education Instructor for North Seattle College for the last 8 years. I work on building community and supporting families as we navigate the tumultuous journey of parenting. Working with families in and out of the water is my passion! I am a mama of 3 wild boys – twin 10 year olds, and a 5 year old.

For children as young as 2 and a half, our intuitive approach to the process of learning to swim focuses on trust and safety. The pool is kept at a toasty 89 degrees all year long for maximum comfort.

We use a variety of pool toys and games that have been developed to keep kiddos excited and intrigued. The lessons are predictable and repetitive to help nervous swimmers to find comfort.

We wear goggles to help feel the most comfortable going underwater. I recommend adult goggles for any child over the age of 3 and child sized goggles for children under 3. These ones are our favorites!

Parents are asked to watch lessons from designated observation areas near the pool. There is only one child and instructor in the water at a time to create a quiet and focused experience.

We work with swimmers of all ages and abilities. Come learn to love the water!
