Instructors

Christi Crowley

Owner, Lead Instructor

I grew up wishing I was a dolphin! I’ve been swimming recreationally my whole life and was on the swim team in high school and the club team in college. My formal swim instructor training is through Portland Parks, and I love teaching private lessons in my backyard pool. I was an elementary school teacher and currently run the children’s grief support program for Providence Hospice.

Additional Instructor(s)

Coming Soon!

In 2026, another lead instructor may be added to the summer roster so that more lessons can be made available. Additionally, one or more assistant instructors may be onboarded to support group lessons, which will allow more swimmers to participate.

Facility

The pool is located in our backyard in North Portland (Kenton neighborhood).

There is an outdoor rinse shower and private bathroom/changing area.

The pool is accessed through a locked outdoor gate. The property is fully secured and access to the pool is limited to participants. The gate locks automatically and should remain closed at all times.

Participants will be provided with the exact address and a 4-digit gate code to open the gate when enrollment is confirmed.

Pool Rentals

In addition to offering swim lessons, we also offer the pool/backyard for private rentals through Swimply.

If you're enrolled in swim lessons, you get a discount* on renting the pool!
