Amber Bernay
Seventh Year Instructor, Office Manager, Swim Team Manager
Hello! My name is Amber and I have been working for Swim Warriors since the summer of 2018 in many different positions.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve worked with kids. I grew up in a family of teachers so I was always in and out of classrooms. From volunteering at church with kiddos, nannying, tutoring, substitute teaching, aftercare, art classes, and more, I have worked with kids in every possible setting!
In middle and high school, I swam competitively and absolutely loved the teams I was lucky enough to be a part of. When Brooke called me and asked me to help run two swim teams this past summer, I was ecstatic. I've taught hundreds of swimmers in my time working for Swim Warriors but, there was just something about building such a great team and watching confidence grow.
I am certified in CPR/AED/First Aid in adult and pediatrics through the American Heart Association as well as having a Coaches Certification through the Atlanta Swim Association. I have experience working with clients that have a variety of disabilities such as autism, speech apraxia, and cerebral palsy.
I am so incredibly thankful for all of the opportunities Brooke has given me throughout my time working for Swim Warriors. From designing and creating merchandise and illustrating our swim level characters to painting the mural at the building. I have has so many different roles within these last seven years and can't wait to continue growing with this incredible company!
"My advice to swim parents would be to trust our process! It is completely normal for swimmers to have a hard time when they first start lessons. Help us help them! Talk about lessons often, practice skills, trust us to build a bond with them, and be patient! Lessons are so important for their safety. It may be a little uncomfortable at first but the future comfort of knowing your kiddos will be safe in the water is worth the time we spend developing those skills with them"
