What parents mention
- Builds confidence2
- Patient2
- Kids love Erikah1
- Fast progress1
“My 2 1/2 year old daughter did the 5-day crash course with Erikah. We are so impressed with the progress that was made. My daughter had some big emotions at the beginning especially with floating and by day 4 she was floating on her own. By day 5 she was floating for 20 seconds!! She not only was successful, but gained a ton of confidence and stability in the water. Erikah genuinely cares about the kids she's with and it shows. She offers encouragement and celebrates wins! We love her!”
“Erikah is awesome! She does a great job meeting swimmers where they are at. She is patient and flexible each lesson. We've done two rounds with her and each day our swimmer has learned something new! Confidence is gained small steps at a time and Erikah facilitates this! She is knowledgeable and kind. You can tell she cares about each swimmer she works with. We will keep coming back!”
“Erikah is amazing! she is extremely patient and calm with her students. My five year old son absolutely thrived in her class. looking forward to putting baby brother through her class when he's a bit older!”

About Erikah
Hi, I’m Erikah, the owner and instructor behind Evergreen Swim Academy! 🌲💧

I have over 10 years of experience working with children in academic, camp, recreation, and aquatics settings.
At age 16, I became a lifeguard and soon after, a swim instructor. It was at a local community center where I found my passion for teaching swimmers, especially beginners and kids who are fearful of the water.
My background includes teaching swim lessons for several programs, creating swim lesson curriculum, lifeguarding at a variety of locations, and leading, developing, and coordinating children’s programs. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with children of many different ages, abilities, personalities, and learning styles. My formal education also includes an Associate of Arts (AA) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA), both in Education.
Today, I specialize in teaching swimmers ages 2–10, especially beginners and children who may be nervous, fearful, or unsure in the water. I teach through structured, intentional play alongside clear expectations and routines that help children thrive.
Years in aquatics have taught me that it is never too early or too late to learn water safety skills. My goal is to create lessons where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to grow while building a positive relationship with the water.
At Evergreen Swim Academy, I believe strong swimmers start with strong roots. 🌲💧
