How my journey began…

Hi, I’m Michele — the coach behind Doss Swim.

I’m a passionate swim instructor with years of experience working with young children and families, helping swimmers build confidence, comfort, and foundational skills in the water. I believe learning to swim should feel safe, supportive, and individualized — not rushed or one-size-fits-all.

As a parent myself, including to a child with autism, I understand that every child learns differently. My approach is patient, flexible, and child-centered, meeting each swimmer where they are and building skills at a pace that feels right for them.

Doss Swim Coaching is a home-based program that offers basic swim instruction with limited availability, allowing me to provide thoughtful and focused coaching to each child I work with. My goal is simple: to help children feel confident in the water while supporting families every step of the way.

Thank you for trusting me with your swimmer — it truly means everything.
