and Group Lessons in Dakar
for Babies, Kids, and Adults
Gentle, structured classes for babies starting from 5 months, focused on water safety, comfort, and early skill development. I support both first-time and more confident little swimmers, helping them build strong foundations and natural ease in the water.
From first-time swimmers to advanced athletes, I teach all levels — including beginners, fearful swimmers, and confident kids looking to refine technique. Lessons focus on building water safety, strong fundamentals, and progressing through all four strokes with proper technique and efficiency.
Whether you’re learning to swim for the first time, overcoming fear, or looking to improve your technique, lessons are tailored to your goals. I also coach advanced swimmers in stroke refinement and race-focused skills across all four strokes.

Small Groups,
Real Progress
At Jessie's pool, private, semi-private classes are available, or group (max 3 students per class) for focused attention. (For Aquababy, max 7 at Escale D'Orient)
Structured Programs
Clear progression from beginner to confident swimmer. My approach is based on up-to-date research and best practices in aquatics, with a focus on effective progression, technical development, and long-term success in the water.
Personalized
Approach
Some people learn quickly, some need more time to develop skills. That's okay! Every swimmer progresses at their own pace.

Hi, I’m Jessie — a certified swim instructor specializing in baby and early swim development, learn-to-swim, and competitive coaching. Based in Dakar, I work with children from 5 months through to swim team level, helping them build water confidence, safety, and strong technical foundations in a calm, supportive environment.
I coach the swim team at the International School of Dakar and lead Aquababy classes for infants, as well as learn-to-swim programs for children aged 3+. With a background in competitive swimming and advanced stroke technique, I support swimmers at every stage.
I’ve been teaching since 2008 in the U.S. and hold certifications from the American Red Cross, ASCA (American Swim Coaches Association), and Worldwide Swim School. Since 2019, I’ve been coaching and teaching in Dakar.
As a parent of two young children, baby swimming is especially close to my heart. I love helping little ones feel safe, confident, and happy in the water.
