Joy in the Water

Have you always wanted to try open-water swimming, but feel a bit “iffy” about what might be lurking below? Maybe you already enjoy outdoor swimming and want to take your skills to the next level. Or does your future hold a triathlon, an Alcatraz swim, a SwimRun, or another challenging event?

Whatever your goals or skill level, working with Guila will improve your efficiency, endurance, and enjoyment.

Guila has helped hundreds of swimmers improve their technique. She is especially sensitive to the needs of newcomers to the open water. Guila is a USMS & ASCA certified swim coach and a professional adult educator. She will find ways that work for YOU in the open water.
