“I would like to give a big thank you to my daughter’s swim coach, Tenaya.

I especially like her teaching style. She is kind, friendly and patient. My daughter has enjoyed each lesson and looks forward to attending each week. I also like that my daughter is able to clearly understand and improve her swimming strokes. Tenaya takes her time to explain and clarify what she needs to do when she is instructing her. I am very happy that we chose Big Kahuna Swim Academy with swim coach Tenaya. Her professionalism, positivity and encouraging attitude is a plus as well.

I know my daughter will become a better swimmer, while working with Tenaya. I would recommend Big Kahuna Swim Academy to my friends and colleagues.

Again, thank you Coach Tenaya”

“Tenaya did an excellent job working with my 4-year-old daughter, Victoria. She taught her with thorough knowledge and a gentle hand as she guided victoria to better swimming styles and water safely. Each week, Victoria looked forward to jumping in with Tenaya. Her progress in water, confidence and stroke technique is apparent. She even helped with our toddler on occasion and could handle him with ease as he navigated the water for the first time. Thank you so much Tenaya!”

“Before starting swim lessons with Tenaya (Big Kahuna Swim Academy) for my 2-year-old daughter, my husband and I didn’t have very high expectations for what she would learn with lessons being once a week for 30 minutes. Well, we were both blown away by how much she did learn and how quickly she learned it! She started off with absolutely no swimming or floating abilities. After about 6 lessons we saw her swimming by herself (about half of the width of a normal pool). Though she struggled with floating, within 3 months she was floating like an expert. After 4 months she was able to swim the length of the pool, stopping to float when she needed to breath. I am thoroughly impressed with what my daughter was taught and feel every dollar was very well spent”

“We are so happy with the tremendous amount of progress that our daughter made in just a couple of short months. Tenaya is reassuring and encouraging, while also challenging our daughter a little more each lesson. We are so grateful for all that Tenaya has been able to teach her”

“Tenaya is one of the most caring and patient instructors out there. She did an amazing job with my 5 year old (now on a swim team) and my 2 year old. She is amazing and you will see results!!”

“Tenaya is the best in the business. She loves her clients and personalizes her instruction. She knows how to train kids and adults how to be water safe and swim savvy”
