Jeff and Monica Noonan founded Noonan Family Swim School, Inc. in January 2004, and they describe it as “The Safest & Finest Swim School.” Jeff Noonan oversees the continued growth and quality of the programs and has more than 40 years of experience in aquatics, including competitive swimming, lifeguarding, coaching, and teaching, and earned his Water Safety Instructor (WSI) certification in Fremont, California at age 15. He also has over seven years of experience as a classroom teacher working with at-risk youth and special education students. Monica Noonan has over 25 years of experience in human resources, recruiting, and management, created the Splash Babies parent-and-me program, and leads staff training, management, and customer service initiatives.
David, the Regional Manager, has over 40 years of experience in aquatics, including teaching, coaching, competitive swimming, lifeguarding, and management, began swimming competitively at age six, and has served as a swim instructor, Splash Babies teacher, deck supervisor, and manager. Luisa has over 25 years of professional experience in aquatics, has a background as a competitive swimmer and water polo player, has served as a high school swim coach at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, has competed as a world and international body surfer for the Chubascos, earned a degree in Liberal Studies from Azusa Pacific University, and has experience in swim instruction, operations, and leadership at Noonan Family Swim School.
Jeff and Monica Noonan set out to create a swim school built on quality instruction, individualized teaching, and genuine customer care, with a goal to build a program that delivers exceptional results while maintaining a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere. The school uses slogans such as “Every Child is a Champion,” “Building Confidence,” and “Learning to Swim is a Journey.” For swimmers at the Orange level, the use of a Coast Guard approved PFD is recommended when swimming with a child if constant adult “touch supervision” is not being used.
Noonan Family Swim School is approved to receive charter school funding from Cabrillo Point Academy, Classical Academy, Element Education/Dimensions Collaborative, Elite Academy, Excel Academy, Freedom Academy, Granite Mountain Charter, Julian Charter School, Mission Vista Academy, Pacific Coast Academy, Sage Oak Charter School, Springs Charter (River, Citrus, Harbor, Pacific, Empire), SunCoast Prep Academy, and Taylion High Desert Academy. One parent testimonial states, “Unbelievable! My little grommet can swim! Thank you NFSS!!!” Another parent says, “Without a doubt the Best swim school in San Diego. Thank you to all Johnny’s instructors.” A third parent notes, “I can’t believe how easy it was to begin with you guys. Two or three clicks and my girl was in.”
