Meet Your Instructors
Miss Amanda is our Founder and Chief Water Wizard here at Lakeside. She has dedicated her work to helping children build confidence and lifesaving skills in the water. Growing up spending summers at the lake in Western Nebraska, she developed a deep respect of the water and a passion for making it safe for families once she started her own.
After earning her certification in Corpus Christi, Texas, Amanda brought her expertise to the Highland Lakes area, where she now teaches infants and young children how to confidently swim-float-swim. Her instruction is hands-on, intentional, and rooted in trust; meeting each child where they are while guiding them toward independence and safety.
With a calm, encouraging presence, Miss Amanda creates lessons that are not only effective, but empowering for both children and parents.
Miss Molly helps us virtually here at Lakeside as the Family Experience Coordinator! She makes sure every family feels welcomed, supported, and confident from day one. From answering parent questions to coordinating schedules and keeping communications flowing, Molly helps create a smooth, stress-free experience for both parents and kiddos. With a heart for families and a love for swimmers, Molly believes water safety starts with trust, connection and a whole lot of encouragement. She's here to cheer you on and help you feel right at home! While you may not see Miss Molly on the pool deck, you'll definitely feel her impact.
