Aquaria Swim School, Glendale

Cari Lopez has spent her entire life in the water. Throughout her childhood, she splashed in the pool and swam competitively for ten years. As an adult, she now puts her skills into practice by teaching private swim lessons. During lessons, children six months and older practice water-safety skills, while older children work on techniques including freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and walking on water. In addition to swim lessons, Cari provides water therapy for children with disabilities, using her experience both as an instructor and as the mother of a child with special needs.
