Introduction
Welcome to Squid Swimming, a traveling swim school that teaches wherever works best for you.
Squid Swimming was started in 2023 by me, a retired D1 swimmer with 16 years of competitive swimming experience and 7 years of swim teaching experience.
The Squid Swimming teaching method focuses on safety and technique, with safety always coming first. All clients learn basic life-saving skills before moving onto technique and how to swim efficiently in the water. In the event of an emergency, a Squid Swimming graduate will be able to save themselves, even if they are not immediately close to land.

My two kids (6 and 3.5) have been taking private swim classes with Celeste for 2 months. She is awesome and great with the kids. Super communicative and flexible. My kids went from being scared of the water and refusing to swim, to now being able to float and looking forward to swim classes every week. Would highly recommend!

Celeste is beyond amazing and we feel so lucky to have found her. She is organized, thoughtful, kind, amazing with kids, and incredibly communicative and flexible. After every lesson she writes up a detailed report of what was done in the lesson and how our kid did with each exercise and what the plan will be for the next lesson. She's truly unlike any coach/instructor I've ever met. My daughter (3.5) is shy with new people and she took to Celeste immediately, looks forward to swim lessons, and says that swimming is her favorite sport. When we were traveling and had access to a pool Celeste put together a lesson plan for us that included easy to follow descriptions and videos for more complicated exercises. It was super easy to follow along, Celeste was available to answer any questions, and we were able to do this on our vacation and continue our kid's progress.
You are giving yourself/your kids a gift by taking lessons with Celeste, she is a special person and will greatly and positively impact your/your kids life and their confidence.

The BIGGEST FRAUD I have ever been part of. Did not stick to timelines, asked me for payment upfront without a single trial class. Left my customer meeting to be with my 6 year old for his first private class and she texted me I cannot make it. Pool closes at 8 pm and says I will be there at 744 pm. Please DO NOT hire this Fraudster, you will
Be DISAPPOINTED. She owes me a class for my son. Our entire family was excited for this class and we all showed up at the pool and then she does not show up and convenient says you want to report you CAN and it’s ok if you don’t want to continue. She deserves to be banned from being a coach. I was tricked into this with all her “sweet talk”
Of actually being a coach. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS FRAUDSTER. She books multiple kids at the same time.
