Event Navigation
The season has ended. See you in 2024!
Joy in the Water
Have you always wanted to try open-water swimming, but feel a bit “iffy” about what might be lurking below? If you currently enjoy swimming outdoors, maybe you simply want to improve your stroke. Or perhaps an Ironman, Alcatraz or a 10k is in your future! Whatever your goals or skill level, working with Guila will improve your efficiency, endurance, and enjoyment.
“These lessons changed my life.”
— Stacey N, 2021
Guila is especially sensitive to the needs of new open-water swimmers. She is a USMS & ASCA certified swim coach and a professional adult educator. She will find ways that work for YOU in the open water.
“That was amazing Guila! I learned so much and it will be really fun to practice now that I actually know what to practice. You are a gifted teacher.”
— Sally N, 2021
