Swim with Emily
Private swim lessons for kids
Introduction
Hi! I’m Emily Jones, a senior at River Hill High School, and I offer private swim lessons for kids looking to build confidence and improve their skills in the water.
About me
Swimming has always been a major part of my life. I joined my first swim team at five years old and began competing year-round at age seven, first with the YMCA, then Howard County Aquatics, and later the Columbia Clippers. I’m a multi-year Maryland State qualifier in several events, and in 2022 I was selected to train at the Olympic/Paralympic Training Center in Colorado based on my IMX score.
Currently, I swim for the Harper’s Choice Challenge CNSL club in the summers and have been instructing swim lessons for three years.
My mission
Swimming has taught me discipline, focus, and perseverance. I love helping kids experience those same benefits. I work one-on-one with each swimmer to build trust and confidence in a safe, fun environment. Whether they’re just getting comfortable in the water or fine-tuning strokes, I adapt each lesson to their needs. Seeing their progress and smiles is the best part of my job!

Testimonials
“Emily has been a phenomenal swim teacher for our three children! Our kids are 5, 8, and 10, and Emily is so versatile with her teaching methods to accommodate for all ages and skill levels. Emily is very patient and utilizes fun toys and games to make the lessons enjoyable instead of purely instructional. Our two older children are blossoming into more confident swimmers, and our youngest feels more comfortable in the water. In fact, our youngest has finally started to put her face into the water, thanks to Emily! Emily is an accomplished swimmer herself, which became obvious to us with how she taught our oldest to refine his stroke techniques. She is a joy to work with, punctual, and extremely professional. We cannot recommend Emily enough!” -Deepika K.
“Emily is an experienced swimmer and knowledgeable on each stroke. What makes Emily special is her ability to encourage children and make them feel comfortable in the water helping them learn to swim. Her classes are fun and she is a desirable swim coach!” -Catherine S.
