Meet the Team

Hi, I'm Coach Penny!

I'm so excited to swim with you! I'm the founder of Zen Penguin Swim School, and I've been teaching for almost 20 years. The water is my happy place, and I can't wait to share it with you! I also love nerding out about art, legos, and animal facts, so if you have something cool to tell me, I can't wait!

Hi, I’m Coach Sarah!

I have been at Zen Penguin for over a year. I have a background in child development and education, have years of experience with neurodivergence, and have a deep passion for working with kids. I love painting, playing with my puppy, and watching movies. I can’t wait to swim with you!

Hi, I'm Coach Stephanie!

I love the calm and quiet the water provides. My favorite thing to do in the water is make bubbles and watch them rise to the surface. When I'm not in the water or busy with my kids I love art, sewing, and jiujitsu.

Hi! I’m Coach Cecilia!

Being in the water makes me feel peaceful and joyful at the same time. My grandpa teaching me to swim is one of my favorite memories, and I love teaching others to enjoy swimming too. I’m a mom to two kids, 3 cats and one dog. I love art and design, cooking, reading and making jokes with my family and friends. I am excited to meet you and have fun in the water together!

Hi, I’m Katie!

I work behind the scenes to make the schedule run smoothly and answer questions that come in via email! I enjoy being a helper and problem solver. I am great at connecting with local resources and community. My background is in legislative and patient advocacy. My happy place is on my paddle board enjoying the local rivers or sitting by the Oregon coast enjoying the sounds of waves crashing. My special interests are in baking science (I used to own a cookie company!), policy, reiki and nature.
