Meet Our Instructors:
We've got a great team of instructors at each of our Branches ready to help you or your child progress in their swimming skills!
Chino: Senna Forkner
Skill Expertise: Hello, I hear your looking for a swim instructor. Look no further. I am the one. I am experienced with 3-years of teaching from ages of four and up and have experience with water polo. I played college Water Polo for two years at Mt. SAC. I am enthusiastic but stern. Safety is my fist concern but a swimmer is not going to learn without a little bit of fun and encouragement. Hope to see you soon!
Upland: Thomas Llama
Skill Expertise: Hi, my name is Thomas. I have been teaching swim lessons since 2018 and would love to help you achieve your goals in the water. I have experience working with all ages and ability levels. Safety and confidence are essential skills I encompass in all the swim lessons I teach. Looking forward to working with you and your families soon!
Upland: John Paul Lang
Skill Expertise: Hey! My name is John Paul and I enjoy swimming. I can teach children or adults of all ages. I love watching my students grow and advance in their swim skills. I hope to help you learn in any way needed!
Upland: Jossie Flores
Skill Expertise: Hello! I’ve been swim instructing and coaching at the Y for roughly two years now and have worked with swimmers of all ages and abilities! My intention is to welcome all swimmers into lessons with an open and safe environment and empower them to set or progress their personal/athletic goals. I feel confident in my ability to swim instruct a wide range of goals; from parents who want themselves or their children to learn swim safety, to those who want to advance their competitive swimming skills and grow more confidence in the water. Thank you and I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
Upland: Kaylee Cassaro
Skill Expertise: Hi! I work with kids ages 3 to adults teaching them to be safe, comfortable, and efficient in the pool. My skills include freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and treading as well as water safety and introduction. I can confidently teach children how to swim competitively or help themselves in cases of emergency. Thank you and I look forward to working with you!
