Ganga Sivakkani

I started swim lessons when I was 2 years old! I have 12+ years of swim experience and 3 years of competitive swimming experience. I grew up and was raised in India. I moved 3 years ago and there I did competitive freestyle and backstroke!

After my move, I worked in two other facilities that teach swimming lessons to kids! I also currently work at the YMCA! Most of my previously jobs and volunteer work centered around youth so I have a ton of experience with kids. When I was a kid, I loved wave pools so much. Since I knew how to swim, I would always be up front.

My favorite stroke is freestyle and teaching kids how to swim is not only fun but is also a very good safety tool which will be very useful in the future. This one of the main reasons I like my job here.

I always encourage kids and give them high fi’s when they are doing a good job because I want them to enjoy coming to class and I want them to have fun. This in turn helps the kid to listen to me more and succeed further ahead! I cant wait to see you in the pool :)
