🌟 Employee of the Month: Ms. Gwen! 🌟

Help us celebrate Ms. Gwen, our Ballwin Swim Employee of the Month! 💙

Ms. Gwen loves spending time with kids and helping them develop new skills in the water. Her calm nature, ability to multitask, and love for working with children make her such a wonderful part of our swim team.

Her experience working with kids started through babysitting for neighbors and friends, and she also swam competitively until age 12. Now, outside of the pool, she plays basketball and softball and enjoys spending time with her two cats, Potato and Patata.

Ms. Gwen, thank you for bringing patience, positivity, and care to your swimmers each day. We are so lucky to have you on the Ballwin Swim team! 💙🐻

🌟 Employee of the Month: Ms. Mary! 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Ms. Mary, our South County Swim Employee of the Month! 💙
Ms. Mary has such a special gift for working with children! Before becoming a swim instructor, she spent years as a full-time nanny, and her nurturing personality helps children feel comfortable, confident, and supported in the water.

She loves watching swimmers learn new things, improve their skills, and grow each week. She also brings plenty of fun and silliness to her lessons, helping kids laugh while they learn! Ms. Mary was also a competitive swimmer for 12 years, bringing both experience and care to every class.

Outside of the pool, she enjoys gardening, sewing, and playing with her cat, Padme. Thank you, Ms. Mary, for the kindness, patience, and joy you bring to Barron Swim School! 💙🐻

🌟 Employee of the Month: Coach Nathan! 🌟

Help us celebrate Coach Nathan, our South County Swim Employee of the Month! 💙
Coach Nathan has been swimming competitively since he was 4 years old, and that lifelong love of the water shines through in his teaching. He brings enthusiasm, encouragement, and a genuine passion for helping swimmers of all ages build confidence and feel comfortable in the water.

Outside of lessons, Nathan still loves to swim and enjoys playing water polo, even competing in tournaments with friends! When he’s not in the pool, he enjoys spending time with family and watching sports.

Coach Nathan, thank you for the energy, positivity, and support you bring to our swimmers each day. We are so grateful to have you on the Barron team! 💙🐻

Please join us in celebrating Courtney, our O’Fallon Swim Employee of the Month! 💙
Courtney has been such an important part of the Barron Swim School team since the start of 2026, bringing incredible leadership, aquatic experience, and passion to every lesson. With a background in swim school management, coaching, customer service, and even Division I swimming, Courtney brings so much knowledge and heart to the pool.

She is passionate about helping children learn the vital life skill of swimming while building confidence and a lifelong love of the water. Outside of swim, Courtney is also a former state champion archer and record holder! In her free time, she enjoys ceramics, reading, and spending time with her two dogs and three cats.

Courtney, thank you for all that you do for our swimmers, families, and team! We are so lucky to have you! 💙🐻

Safety Week was a success! 💦👏

This past week, our swimmers practiced important real-life water safety skills, from swimming with clothes on to learning about life jackets and practicing without goggles. We are so proud of our students for stepping outside their comfort zones and taking on these important safety challenges!

A huge thank you to our families, swimmers, and teachers for making Safety Week such a positive and impactful experience. Because of the incredible response, Safety Week is here to stay and will continue every 6 months at Barron Swim School.
