“Guiding your child as they explore and discover their passion for the water brings me such joy”
~Jill Kern
From a young age, I have enjoyed coaching children in a variety of activities. Over the last 13 years, I have instructed children in swimming, dancing, gymnastics and acrobatic stunting. I started my career part time in the Aquatic Department at the Baylor Tom Landry Fitness Center to get me through college (UT Arlington Exercise Science Degree) and loved it so much that I moved to full time. After the Baylor Tom Landry Center changed owners and underwent a major pool down size, I found my way to Moody Family YMCA. Now I’m thrilled to be opening Swim with Jill LLC to continue my my passion for teaching swim to children. I find the varying ages I encounter in the water is something I truly cherish and enjoy. I thrive teaching individuals how to move their bodies in a healthy way on land, in the air, and in the water.
