About Head Above Water
Head Above Water (HAW) is a private company that provides swim lessons, lifeguard services and water aerobics to infants, children and adults in the privacy of the home or in one of HAW pools. The company has taught thousands of adults and children to swim all over Southern California since it’s inception in 2002. We customize each swim lesson to the student’s specific needs. All of our teachers are CPR certified and have an extensive aquatic background. While HAW doesn’t operate out of their own pool, the company rents pools from private clubs, homeowners associations, hotels or estates and pays a portion of the revenue generated to the pool owner. Through this innovative business model, HAW has been able to expand rapidly and continues an aggressive growth strategy.

Meredith is a third generation swim instructor and has been teaching children to swim for over 15 years. Originally from Texas, she swam competitively for 10 years then moved to Los Angeles to attend college at the University of Southern California. A year after graduation it was clear that there was a niche for private swim lessons in the Los Angeles area and in her first year in business, Meredith hired a few instructors to serve a handful of clientele. Since it’s inception, the company has multiplied it’s growth to serve families all over Southern California and has a wonderful staff of over 50 instructors in the high season.

Head Above Water Philosophy
Learning to swim is a valuable skill that can save a child’s life. Our method of teaching varies according to the individual needs of each child. We believe that learning to swim is not only a life saving skill, but also a tool for building confidence and gaining independence in the water and life.
We give great attention to the personal success of each student. Therefore, we tailor each lesson to meet the individual needs and unique learning style of the child. Head Above Water teaches swim instruction in a way that enables the student to grow in the water and in life.
