MEET HANNAH
Hi, I'm Hannah!
I've been teaching since the age of 14, starting as a volunteer at the local hood river pool. I grew up swimming, first learning as an infant from my mother, who is also a swim instructor. From age five to college, I swam competitively and started Little Splashes in my backyard at 16. I have served as a lifeguard, swim instructor, Special Olympics, swim coach, camp counselor, Doula, and health coach. In 2023 I will launch HELD IN WATER, a gentle approach to online learning & water introductions for babies.
Trained and certified through YMCA, WSI, NSSA, CPR certified
5 years as a prenatal & infant massage therapist.
Currently training in WATSU (water massage) & Amnion with the incredible Mary Seamster.
Currently in Swim Angel Fish-adaptive aquatics training that I will complete in 2023. It is adaptive swimming with children with autism • anxiety • physical • delays • motor • sensory • trauma • discomfort.
MEET MADELINE
Growing up a few blocks from the beach to practically living in her grandparent’s swimming pool during summers- water is a place of solace for Madeline. Madeline studied elementary education and special education at Portland State University.
During college and after graduating, Madeline worked for 5+ years as a preschool teacher and in individual education environments. She finds great joy working with children, and feels her greatest strength is her patience. Madeline is currently studying under Hannah & with the Dolfun School Academy , leading school for Infant swim.
Working with children slows down time and reminds us how each moment is a new experience that’s worth being present for. Being able to teach in water is a true gift and she is ecstatic to be part of the Little Splashes.
MEET KATE -
Kate grew up in Hood River, learning to swim at the old Hood River outdoor public pool and Elks club pools.
Her family always took vacations that involved some way to swim. A lake, river, or hotel swimming pool was always involved. Even today, you can find her kiteboarding or swimming at the waterfront in the summer. It is her happy place. From floaters to senior life-saving and participation in the high school swim and diving teams to certified Water Safety instructors, she continued learning and even taught other high school students to swim during her high school years.
Now retired from public service, she is returning to swim teaching. “The joy of watching little ones become just as comfortable under the water as out makes me smile every time!” “You are never too young or old to learn to swim and enjoy it as a sport or more importantly, as a way to relax.”
