We are a company that provides swim lessons at home or the pool of your choosing.
Swim Lessons NYC was founded by Vanessa Guerra, a professional synchronized swimmer from Colombia. Vanessa has more than 11 years of experience as a swim instructor for both children and adults, and worked as au pair for two years in New York City and Boston.
After she was diagnosed with asthma at a young age, aquatic therapy was recommended by her pediatrician. The therapy eliminated most of her symptoms and led to her long career as a professional swimmer with accolades on her regional and the national teams.
In addition to establishing a healthy lifestyle, Vanessa credits swimming for helping her focus in school and university and creating a community of lifelong friends. Swimming transitioned from sport to occupation for Vanessa when she needed a way to finance her education. Since then, she’s taught dozens of students.
Currently, Vanessa is a product design engineer and swimming instructor, who hopes to share the benefits of swimming with all of her students.
