Owners, Jeff and Joan Smith bring over 30 years of aquatics experience to teaching

and coaching. Joan was an NCAA All-American swimmer and track athlete.

She was also one of the top professional tri-athletes in the United States.

Joan has taught lessons and coached swimming for over 10 years.

Jeff was the Children and Family Pastor at Peninsula Covenant Church in

Redwood City before taking over King’s Swim Academy full time. His background in aquatics includes coaching masters, college, USS, YMCA and running a swim school.  He was the aquatics director of a swim and tennis club of over 1,000 members.

Joan and Jeff have five children:

* Esther attends college in southern California and along with her husband Isaac, is one of our teachers seasonally

* David and Jonathan are in elementary school

* Abigail and Daniel are preschool age twins

Our two highest priorities are quality teaching and clean, safe facilities. Our instructors are trained by King’s Swim Academy using our own floatation based curriculum. All of our quality instructors teach swimming skills in a fun, safe environment and do well with students of all ages, personalities, and goals.
