Emily Hartung
Hi, I'm Emily. I'm a senior at Weber State, working on a Bachelor of Criminal Justice with an emphasis in CSI. I have been a lifeguard for 6 years. I swam competitively in high school for 4 years. I truly love to get in the water especially as it gets warm and I can't wait for your little ones to love the water too!
Clancie Ramos
Hi, I'm Clancie. Having a background of competitively swimming for the past 10 years means that I can teach any level! I do prefer to teach kids that are just learning how to swim, because they are so much fun. I love seeing the growth of barely sitting in the water to being able to jump in and swim to me all by themselves. Swimming has always been my passion and I'd love to teach your kids to fall in love with the water as well!
