Kait Sullivan
Hi! My name is Kait Sullivan. I am from Medford Lakes, NJ and graduated from Shawnee High School in 2022. I now attend Rutgers University! I have five years of swim lesson experience, teaching at my own Penguin’s Swim School and Rutgers, where I teach adults and children. I am both Lifeguard and Water Safety Instructor Certified, and have experience teaching children with special needs. I created this swim school to be able to give my students the individual attention that they need to succeed! Each child will have their own curriculum tailored to their needs! I hope you want to come learn to swim with me!

Lily Warren
Hello! My name is Lily Warren, and I am from Moorestown, New Jersey. I am a rising Senior at Montclair State University, studying Nursing.
Spending my summers swimming in the ocean down in LBI and enjoying the beaches in Medford Lakes has shown me just how much I love being around the water! I also have a passion for working with children, with experience as both a babysitter and daycare employee. This summer, I am really looking forward to helping others feel comfortable and confident in the water as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor!

Colin Sullivan
Hi! My name is Colin Sullivan. I am from Medford Lakes, NJ and I am a graduating Senior at Shawnee High School! After High School, I will attend Rowan University to become a teacher!
I spent the first 7 years of my life with a pool in my backyard, then I moved to Medford Lakes where I spent my summers at camp, swimming in the lake- so I have been swimming all my life! In school, I participate in musical theater, as well as teach workshops and guitar lessons! I am excited to bring my knowledge of swimming and my love for teaching to Penguin’s Swim School this summer!
