Elite Lifeguard Arie M.

Swimming has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started out as a competitive swimmer, where I learned the value of discipline, hard work, and good technique. Over the past two years, I’ve built on that experience as a swim instructor and lifeguard, working with people of all ages and skill levels.

What I enjoy most about teaching is watching students grow, whether it’s a young child putting their face in the water for the first time or a more advanced swimmer finally nailing a difficult stroke. Those moments are rewarding because I know they build confidence both in and out of the pool. Safety is always my top priority. I make sure every lesson includes water safety skills so swimmers leave not just stronger, but also more aware and prepared. As a lifeguard, I stay focused, alert, and ready to respond quickly if needed. Outside of work, I’m passionate about staying active.

I train regularly in the gym, run, and play recreational sports, which keeps me fit and energized for my role. My goal is simple—help people feel safe, confident, and excited about being in the water.
