Welcome to Ms. Rachelle’s Swim School!
My Background
I started lifeguarding during the summers as a teenager and fell in love with teaching swimming lessons. I was amazed how fast I could teach a child to go from being scared in the water to swimming confidently by themselves! As a school teacher, I’ve always had my summers free, so I began teaching private lessons during the summer. I have developed my own swim program and teach all ages how to swim quickly and effectively while enjoying the process the entire way! Whether you or your child is just beginning or you’re training for a triathlon, I can help!

U City Natatorium
(All year, but closed for the month of July)
7420 Shaftesbury University City, MO 63130
I rent out the entire U City High School pool on Saturdays from 12-5. It is a heated pool, and perfect to learn in because it is nice and quiet. Since we have the entire pool and multiple instructors, you can schedule 2 or 3 kids at the same time with different instructors if you want. There are also locker rooms with showers for your convenience.
Clayton Outdoor Pool (June-August.)
Clayton, MO 63105 (Address will be given once a lesson is booked)
We will be teaching one-on-one lessons in my friend’s backyard pool on Mondays and Thursdays from 1:00-5:00 pm. This is a very private environment, and perfect for learning to swim. The water is heated, and the environment is serene and peaceful.
Rachelle, Charlotte worked really hard with you yesterday. It was awesome. Afterward she whispered to me “I really liked that lesson. Can I do a couple more with her?”
Thanks for your guidance. I was really excited to hear that she liked being pushed out of her comfort zone.

My wife and I got almost as much out of watching, listening to, and talking with Rachelle as our daughter did!” Rachelle will be not only be a coach but also an ally (what parent doesn't need a few of these?) Rachelle will help your child and your entire family!”
Ross and Heather Murfin
Huge milestone for Deegan today! She swam almost the length of the pool and her stroke/kicks were solid! It was a dramatic improvement! She’s never even been able to come close to that. Thanks for what you did!
Dan and Holly Barnes
Just had to let you know that we took Henry to the creek with his cousins and everyone was blown away by how much more comfortable he is in the water now. We were singing your praises!
Elizabeth McSpencer
“Rachelle is the best swim teacher ever! We tried several swim schools and were convinced our son would never put his head under water. Rachelle got him to do it within the first week!”
