Introducing Cyclone Swim Lessons!
 

Calling all future Cyclones!

Whether your swimmer is developing a love of the water, just learning the basics, or mastering technique and headed to a career in swimming, our coaches have what swimmers need.

Led by Sequoia Head Coach Josh Hall, our program combines over 3,000 hours of hands-on in-water instruction and on deck coaching, and offers both private and group lessons where all ages and abilities are welcome. Together, we will develop a solid foundation of skill and safety in and around the water.

Sarah Ockenhouse

One of the assistant coaches for Sequoia's very own swim team, Sarah has been swimming for the last 20 years, and coaching and giving swim lessons for the last 10 years to swimmers ranging in age from 2 years old through their teenage years. Sarah utilizes her background in competitive club swimming to support swimmers from the foundations of water safety and comfort in the water all the way through stroke development and refinement. As a current elementary teacher in Nashville, Sarah understands that every swimmer is at a different place in their swimming development and needs a different approach to best grow their abilities in the water. She will work directly with the child to identify their strengths and areas that the child can grow in their swimming development throughout the summer.
