Who is the swim instructor?
Gazalle, our co-founder of Beyond Brilliant, started teaching swim lessons in 2003 while working as a life guard at the local Bellevue Aquatics Center. In 2007, due to the high demand from families and the lack of private and individualized swim lesson options, Gazalle decided to start her own swim program, called Darya Swim (darya means ocean in Farsi, Gazalle's first language).
Gazalle combines her love for empowering youth, academic and educational experience in teaching strategies and fostering a supportive environment that leads to positive growth and development as well as passion for supporting families, in her swim program. In 2019, due to COVID, Darya Swim took a little pause, but we're excited to return back to teaching lessons during the summer months, this time in a beautiful outdoor pool in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.
This will be Gazalle's second summer at this location since it was the perfect pool for her and all the swimmers last year!

Private Swim lesson: one on one swim lessons, recommended for those that would like to have the maximum amount of time and full attention during the swim session.
Semi private/small group lessons: Up to three swimmers. This option allows for peer modeling and socialization. If families do not know others to take part in the semi private or small group session, but are interested in this option, let Gazalle know and she can help setup the sessions.
Swim with me (Children under the age of 3 and parent/guardian) guided lessons: This will be offered to families with little ones under the age of three who are looking to have some guided practice in the water. We'll be singing songs, socializing and playing with others in the water and learning basic water safety skills. The group can be up to six families. There will be 20 minutes of guided play/lessons, with about 5 minutes of free time in the pool before, and 5 minutes afterwards to give families some time and flexibility with getting in and out of the pool.
