Hi and thanks so much for checking out our site! 

My name is Bryan Quattlander.  I’m the founder and creator of YardSwim.  I’ve been a swim enthusiast who has taught water safety for more than 13 years.  My qualifications as a swim instructor include current certifications in adult, child, and infant CPR as well as water safety instruction (WSI).  I enjoy the outdoors and am involved in competitive swimming, sailing, surfing, and other aquatic related activities.  I teach classes for the American Red Cross including, water safety, disaster preparedness, CPR for the professional rescuer, and CPR for the lay responder.  My love of teaching and interest in water safety and disaster preparedness has helped me to provide a more in depth safety service to all of San Diego County.

At YardSwim our mission is to save lives by teaching swimming in a fun, relaxing atmosphere.  To obtain this goal, I’ve gathered the most qualified people to help me spread the message of water safety through education.  At YardSwim our instructors are highly qualified, CPR certified, trained to teach water safety, and personally experienced in swimming and aquatics.  Additionally, our instructors are responsible, friendly, positive, and patient. Finally, our instructors enjoy working with children and adolescents and know how to make learning fun. 

YardSwim Key Principles are listed below. 

SAFETY: Teaching water safety is our number one priority. Our lessons promote safety on every level. The instructors who teach for YardSwim are trained in accident prevention, emergency planning, and certified to recognize and respond to emergencies. These water safety instructors will discuss accident prevention and will be able to assess your pool area to help determine if additional safety precautions need to be taken.  These instructors will emphasize water safety habits during every lesson to help keep your family members educated in case of an emergency.

FUN:  The water safety instructors listed on our site strive to teach swimming in a fun environment so that swimming will be more enjoyable for the student.  We want your swimmers, especially children, to enjoy their time with their instructor.  We believe that children will learn and be ready to practice new activities when they’re comfortable and motivated by good instruction.  The water safety instructors listed on our site encourage fun learning.  Our hope is that we can get your swimmers excited about water safety, swimming, fitness, and health.

SWIMMING:  Instructors who teach for YardSwim have an extensive knowledge and background in water safety and swimming.  At YardSwim we believe safe swimming is important, as is correct technique.  Instructors who teach for YardSwim will support student swimming using the correct techniques.  Again, we hope to get students excited about swimming, fitness, and health.
