About Us

Sue Pantos has been teaching and coaching at junior high, high school, and college levels since 1971.  However, even before  beginning a full-time career in physical education, Sue directed and taught swim lessons at a community pool in Indiana for twelve summers, from 1967 to 1979.  After moving to California, Sue traveled to home pools in Orinda, Lafayette, and Moraga for four summers.  Since 1985, she has been sole owner and head instructor at Sue's Swim School in Alamo.  Sue was awarded the "Swim Teacher of the Year" by the National Swim School Association in 1992.  She has a master's degree in physical education from Purdue University, certifications in CPR, First Aid, and WSI (Water Safety Instructor), and is also certified through the National Swim School Association.

Sue's Swim School is proud of it's excellent staff of instructors.  Each instructor is individually trained by Sue, and some instructors are certified teachers.  All of the instructors are college aged or older, and most have been with Sue's Swim School for several seasons.  Some of the instructors are parents themselves, and all of the staff enjoy working with children.  To view photos of our instructors, please click here.
