Confident Swimmers.

Hi, I’m Simone, founder of Avant Mobile Swim.

My background in aquatics began as a high school swimmer and continued throughout college, where I worked as both a lifeguard and swim instructor at various pools and waterfronts throughout Hudson Valley, NY. What started as a seasonal position quickly became a true passion of mine—teaching children lifesaving skills and watching swimmers grow in both confidence and ability.

With over 10 years of experience in swim instruction, I created Avant Mobile Swim to bring personalized, high-quality swim lessons directly to families in the comfort of their own backyard pools across Orange County, NY. I am CPR and Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certified and strive to create lessons that emphasize safety, water confidence, and skills that last a lifetime.

I focus on helping swimmers move past hesitation and build trust in their abilities in the water. My approach is supportive and patient, while also gently challenging swimmers to try new skills and discover what they are truly capable of.

Whether your child is learning the basics or developing proper stroke technique, my goal is to make lessons both effective and enjoyable—helping swimmers build independence, comfort, and trust in the water.

What I Offer

Private

  • water safety skills

  • floating and body positioning

With over four years in business providing mobile swim lessons, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with families throughout Orange County, NY. I take pride in creating a safe, supportive, and personalized learning experience for every swimmer.

Here’s what families have to say:

Water Safety and Drowning Prevention is Essential to any Swim Program.


  • In the United States, drowning ranks second (behind motor vehicle crashes) as a cause of death from unintentional injury in children ages 1 through 14, with children between the ages of 1 and 4 years having the highest rate for drowning. (CDC.com)

  • As a certified Water Safety Instructor (WSI), I believe swimming is more than just a sport or fun activity, it’s a life-saving skill. Safety is at the heart of every lesson I teach.

    I value blending strong instruction and proven techniques with a focus on helping children develop a genuine passion for swimming. My goal is to build confidence, comfort, and appreciation for being in the water, so swimmers not only learn skills, but also feel connected to the experience.

  • My approach combines safety, structure, and encouragement. I believe swimmers learn the best when they feel supported but also gently challenged, so I approach each lesson hoping to build self-assurance in the water, reinforce fundamentals and foster steady skill progression.

    Each lesson is action-packed and incorporates a variety of equipment, games and water toys to create an exciting experience while reinforcing important water safety habits.
