J. Flores

Upland: Jossie Flores

Skill Expertise: Hi there! I'm Jossie, I’ve been working as a swim instructor and lifeguard at the YMCA for 3 years and I swam in my high school varsity swim team for all four years. I work with students of all ages and abilities but prioritize swim safety when teaching swimmers. It’s important to me that students understand basics like swim float swim and back floats and try to ensure we learn and feel confident about foundational movements such as those before moving forward. I worked temporarily as a swim coach for about a year at the YMCA and with that experience, have helped swimmers improve stroke technique. Lastly, I am always working to have a fun and interactive learning environment for students! Having fun in the water is just as important to me as learning to stay safe!
