Sofia

Sofia is a pre‑med student and experienced swim instructor who has taught swimmers of all ages and abilities. With a background in psychology and experience as a behavioral technician, she uses positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to support each swimmer’s learning style, including those with special needs or autism. Her first‑responder training, combined with clinical experience in neurology, pediatrics, and hospital settings, helps her maintain a calm, safety‑focused environment. She also brings experience in clinical research on memory and cognition, giving her a strong understanding of how people learn and build skills over time. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Sofia creates an inclusive, encouraging atmosphere where every swimmer can build confidence and grow at their own pace.
Sofia teaches at our host pool in Glen Ridge, and makes house calls.
