Meet the Coaches
Kim Holmberg
Aquatics Director & Lead Coach
Kim is a supporter and advocate of water safety. She was raised in a family that was always surrounded by water and water activities including the swim team. The love she has for the water shows during each lesson she instructs. Her goal is to educate students the importance of water safety in a fun but serious manner.
Paige Dahlman
Assistant Aquatics Director & Coach
Paige started teaching swim lessons in 2018 and has had the privilege of guiding children through every splash, float, and confidence-building milestone. She began with traditional swim instruction, focusing on foundational techniques and water comfort. In 2021, she joined the Float 4 Life team, where she believes the structured progression and individualized approach to water safety just makes sense—especially for helping our littlest floaters succeed.
Her favorite age to teach is under three years old—there’s nothing more rewarding than watching a toddler build trust in the water and grow in their abilities. But the absolute best part of teaching? That magical moment when it clicks—when a child pulls all their skills together for the first time and begins to float and move independently.
Alexis Debhur
Alexis has been teaching float lessons at Float 4 Life since 2023, and it’s been the perfect blend of her passion for water safety and her background in early childhood care. Before joining Float 4 Life, she worked as a nanny, which helped her build a strong foundation in understanding children’s needs, emotions, and learning styles.
Her favorite age to teach is the toddler stage—their curiosity, energy, and rapid growth in the water make every lesson exciting and unique. What she loves most about teaching is getting to know each child’s personality and discovering how they learn best. Every floater is different, and building that trust and connection is what makes each success in the water so meaningful.
Lilly Edwards
Lilly has worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for 3 years prior to joining us at Float 4 Life. She grew up in a family that spent a lot of time in and on the water, and her love for swimming started early on. Lilly enjoys teaching lessons because she loves to see kids learn to trust the water, and hopefully grow to love it as much as she does. Her goal is to help children build strong swimming skills and a strong foundation in water safety.
Kim McDuffee
As both a parent and an instructor, Kim knows how important it is for children to feel safe, supported, and confident in the water. That’s why she is so passionate about teaching swim lessons that emphasize water safety at every level. Every child learns differently, and she strives to meet them right where they are—whether it’s their very first splash or they’re learning to master a back float. With calm, consistent guidance, Kim loves helping little ones grow more comfortable and capable with each step of their swimming journey.
Jaici Vasquez
Jaici has always loved the water and now shares that passion by teaching young children how to float and feel safe. Her goal is to help every child build confidence and learn life-saving skills in a calm, supportive environment. She loves seeing kids become comfortable in the water while having fun and gaining independence.
