Hi! My name is Julia Stewart and I am a Junior at Eastside Preparatory School. I have swam for the Somerset Stingrays every year since I was a 5-year-old Sharkie, and I love swimming, lifeguarding, and teaching at Somerset! Specifically, I have taught group and private swim lessons for 3 years. I love teaching kids anything including water safety, the fundamentals of swimming, and advanced strokes, and my goal is always to help kids love swimming! Additionally, I offer adult swim lessons to beginners. Please reach out if you are interested in child or adult lessons!
