About Ms. Rose

Teaching is my love language.

I have been in the water my whole life, swimming and coaching at every level since I was a child. I have swam competitively, coached advanced teams, and rediscovered my love of the water time and time again. I believe knowing how to swim should be a basic right and so my goal is to make learning as accessible as possible. Nothing fulfills me more than redefining the positive association that we have with water.

I come to you because the best learning happens in familiar, comfortable environments. Your pool, your schedule, your child at the center of everything.

Every family deserves an instructor who sees the whole swimmer, not just their standard milestones.

Say Hello

Instruction for every swimmer.

One swimmer. Full attention.

Private Lessons

From survival swimming and water safety to stroke refinement, competitive training, and dive technique. Ms. Rose teaches the full range to any age at any level. Custom built around your swimmer's abilities and learning style.

Bond in the water.

Parent & Me

Designed for infants and toddlers with their caregiver. Build water confidence, water safety, and comfort in the water, together. One caregiver is required in the water. An additional caregiver is always welcome (and sometimes encouraged!).

Your pace, together.

Semi-Private

Siblings or friends learning side by side. Each swimmer gets instruction tailored to their own level and the shared energy benefits everyone. No need for the swimmers' abilities to be evenly matched as long as they are all comfortable in the water.

Community in the water.

Group Parent & Me

Small groups for parents and little ones. The social energy builds water comfort while building friendships in your neighborhood, and everyone saves on the rate. We welcome up to two caregivers per swimmer, but require at least one.

Ms. Rose completely transformed my daughter's relationship with the water. She went from clinging to the wall to swimming laps in one summer. Having her come to our pool made everything so easy for our family.

Our son had tried group lessons twice and was still terrified. One session with Ms. Rose and something clicked. Her patience and expertise are unlike anything we had experienced before.

The Parent & Me class gave me so much confidence about water safety with my 8-month-old. Ms. Rose is calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely wonderful with babies.

Cancellation Policy
🧸
Swimmers under 3

Life with little ones is unpredictable. Naps run long, mornings go sideways, kids have opinions. For swimmers under 3, there are no cancellation penalties, ever. Reschedule any time, no explanation needed.

⛈️
Weather: we live in Florida, we know

If there's any weather uncertainty before a session, Ms. Rose will reach out ahead of time to check in. The forecast is not always right, and safety comes first. If you want to proceed and she makes the trip but the weather makes it unsafe to get in the water, a 50% session fee applies. If she cancels due to weather on her end, there is no charge.

📅
Everything else

Things come up and Ms. Rose gets it. Cancellations and reschedules are handled with care on a case-by-case basis.

Swimming is for every child in St. Pete.

Scholarship

The Rose Fund

If something is standing between your child and the water, whether it is cost, access, or anything else, this application is for you. There's no income verification, no judgment. Just tell us about your swimmer.

Applications are reviewed personally by Ms. Rose. All submissions are kept completely private.
