About

Meet Miss Selenia

Miss Selenia's Happy Place was built around creating an environment where swimmers can learn without being rushed, compared or forced into a one-size-fits-all approach.

Miss Selenia teaches children and adults, including adaptive and neurodivergent swimmers, and believes strongly in meeting each swimmer where they are.

Her approach combines water safety, connection, confidence, independence, skill development and joy.

Individual progress matters more than comparison.
