Private Lessons & Coaches in Lawrence, IN

I've swam all my life, growing up in Hawaii I needed to swim in order to surf. At age 9, I began competitve club swimming and didn't look back, competing at a high level, traveling to the mainland US to represent Hawaii in various regional meets (Zones and Sectionals). I specialize in butterfly and breastroke. I continued my swimming career for 4 more years in college at Franklin College in Indiana, where I broke multiple school records, currently holding the 100 and 200 butterfly, 200 breastroke, and 400 Individual medley. I have some experience coaching beginner level swimmers but my true passion would be to help improve high potential young swimmers (10-16) that want to reach the next level. I value technique and underwaters; working smarter in the water can lead to huge time gains. In longer races, efficiency plays a bigger factor than raw strength or talent and I want to help swimmers achieve that. Another asset I can bring to swimmers is a competitive/winners mentality. I have known a lot of swimmers in my experience who were more talented or hardworking than me, but didn't have the mental strength or confidence to push themselves to peak performance on race day. I can talk athletes through the mental part of their races, which I think plays a more significant factor than most realize.

Hi there! I’m Sophia Guyer, and I’ve dedicated 15 years to swimming, including several competitive years at the Division 1 level. I have a unique passion for technique, and I firmly believe in the mantra “perfect practice makes perfect.” To me, quality in training is far more important than just going through the motions. During my high school career, I broke a few records and made my mark by ranking among the top 10 times in history at my Division 1 college. While I’m new to swim instructing, I’m not new to teaching—I’ve enjoyed helping many of my teammates refine their techniques over the years. As I embark on my journey as a swim instructor, I’m excited to inspire others and help swimmers of all levels achieve their goals through focused skill improvement and my enthusiasm for the sport. I truly believe that with dedication and the right mindset, anyone can achieve greatness in the pool!
