Hello! I love to swim. Shortly after I learned to walk as a baby, I found myself running towards the ocean or jumping in the deep end of any pool pretending I was a mermaid. I found a passion in water polo and have been playing for 8 years. I later played Division 1 water polo at Long Beach state where we ranked 7th in the United Sates and competed on the Olympic development team. Now I’m back home and my love for the water hasn’t changed. So excited to meet your little swimmers in the pool!
Molly grew up on the westside of Santa Cruz, and learned to swim through years of little guards, swim team and water polo. She spent her early 20s teaching swim lessons- and is excited to be back in the pool after years off exploring other passions. Teaching swimming has always felt like a calling to Molly. She has built a photography business in the last decade – which is still how she spends her weekends. She loves living in Felton and spends as much time in the river and redwood trails as possible.
Dylan is originally from San Diego and has been living in the Santa Cruz Mountains for 4 years. He works locally in Felton and is an avid surfer. He has taught children and adults surf lessons for 8 years.
Hi! I’m Keaton — I’ve been a competitive swimmer for the past ten years and am currently a proud member of the UCSC swim team. I also have experience coaching and working with kids, which has been incredibly rewarding. I’m thrilled to be joining the Little Fish Swim School team!
I am a dedicated swim instructor with a passion for teaching and nurturing young swimmers. Since 2013, I have been a preschool teacher at New Discovery School in Seattle, where I have honed my skills in engaging and educating children. In February 2020, I began my journey as a swim instructor at Little Fish, combining my love for swimming and my educational background.
My swimming journey began at Ballard Pool, where I not only learned to swim but also participated in the swim team, fostering my commitment to aquatic safety and skill development. I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all my students.
One of my key strengths is helping nervous swimmers overcome their fears and reset their relationship with the water. I believe that with patience, encouragement, and the right techniques, every child can gain confidence and feel comfortable in the pool. I strive to create a positive and supportive atmosphere that allows students to thrive.
Having grown up in a family devoted to education, with my mother running an in-home preschool for 20 years, I have a deep understanding of child development and the importance of patience and encouragement in learning. It is my goal to instill confidence and a love for swimming in every child I teach.
Hi there! My name is Randee, and I’m a local of the Bay Area, currently living in Santa Cruz. I have always been passionate about swimming since I was a toddler, and I swam competitively throughout high school.
I find satisfaction in ensuring my students feel confident in themselves in and out of the water, while also demonstrating water safety. I will be a recent graduate from UCSC looking to give back to my community. I have previously worked as a swim instructor for the YMCA, and I am very excited to work with Little Fish Swim School!
Hi Friends! My name is Brooke, also known as “Miss Brooke,” to my toddler & preschool students! I am excited to be on the Little Fish team teaching the Sing Along Swim Classes!

I look forward to singing fun songs with you all & helping your littlest fishies find their love for the water! As a mom of two little ones, I can say that parent/child swim classes have been so helpful & rewarding for our family, so I can’t wait to share these methods with you!
I have been a mommy for 4 years now & a preschool/toddler teacher for over 10 years, in the Santa Cruz area. I love teaching the toddler & preschool ages the most, so I look forward to meeting your littlest fish!
Hello! My name is Beth and I have been an instructor at Little Fish Swim School in Seattle since June 2018 and am now also the scheduling manager for Little Fish Felton.
