Hi, Im Nicholas Plese, a certified swim instructor with a passion for teaching people of all ages how to swim confidently and safely.I am a Santa Barbara local with experince working zoo camp and attendence at UCSB
Growing up near the ocean, swimming became a core part of my life early on. I swam competitively throughout high school and college at UCSB, where I learned not just the technical skills but also the value of discipline, perseverance, and teamwork.
After graduating, I decided to share my love for swimming by starting my own swim lesson business. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching kids, adults, and even seniors how to enjoy the water while staying safe. Whether it's a first-time swimmer or someone looking to refine their strokes, I’m here to help every step of the way.
When I’m not in the water, you can find me hiking, SUrfing, or exploring California. My mission is to inspire confidence in and out of the pool and to create a lifelong love for swimming in my students.
