Nathan – Owner/Founder

Nathan founded PowerPacked Swimming when his oldest son, Caleb, was trying to learn how to swim. After being taken to multiple swim schools, Nathan told Caleb’s mother, “just give me 30 minutes with him, and he will be swimming.” She thought that he was being crazy! But 30 minutes later, their son could swim and she asked Nathan, “How did you do that in only 30 minutes?!” He said “it was a power-packed 30 minutes.” And that is how “PowerPacked Swimming” began.

Nathan has a B.S. Minor in Physical Education with a concentration in swim. He has been trained in Red Cross and YMCA instructional swim techniques and has been WSI certified multiple times. He is both a former 5A public high school and T.A.P.P.S swim coach.

Our goal at PowerPacked Swimming is to get you moving in the water! We focus on four primary benchmarks: Acclimation, Buoyancy, Glides & Starts, and Strokes. Swimming is not complicated. We want you to be confident in the water, so whether you are 2 days old or 172 years old — we would love to help you gain confidence and get you swimming.

Matt – Instructor / Supervisor

I began swimming at a very young age, long before I can even remember. In 2015, I started teaching swimming for the Cy-Fair School District’s after-school program and continued my teaching journey at various swim schools. I chose PowerPacked Swimming because of the genuine care and passion they invest in their students, which I haven’t experienced at any other swim school. PowerPacked Swimming has truly empowered me to embrace my role as an instructor, allowing me to create personalized lesson plans tailored to each student’s unique needs. The experience has also enabled me to build meaningful relationships with my students, making learning to swim a fun and exciting journey for them.

TJ – Instructor

I started swimming in 1983. My first time swimming was at five years old at the YWCA, where I mainly stayed in the shallow end. At age 13, I made it to the state competition as part of the YWCA freestyle relay team.

I began teaching in 1996 at McGregor Park in the City of Houston, where I worked as a lifeguard, taught swim lessons, and coached a swim team that won numerous awards. While teaching for the City of Houston, one of my students gave me a recommendation for my excellent teaching skills. I also swam for my high school team at Jack Yates.

I discovered PowerPacked Swimming online, and through my experience working here, I’ve learned that this company truly cares about its swim coaches. I feel like PowerPacked is a family, with a strong team spirit.

Yazmin – Instructor

My passion for swimming began at a very young age, starting with “Baby and Me” classes at 18 months old and continuing with summer league at age four. This early immersion led to competitive swimming for six years in summer league and year-round with Blue Tide Aquatics. From 2012 to 2015, I even trained for long-distance swimming while participating in triathlons, showcasing my versatility in the water. My high school years further cemented my love for aquatic sports, as I swam competitively from 2018-2020 and discovered water polo. Playing water polo during my junior and senior years became a highlight, teaching me the value of skill, strategy, and teamwork, and creating lasting friendships and cherished memories. Now, I am dedicated to sharing my expertise and passion, teaching others to swim with a focus on safety, a belief I share with PowerPacked Swimming. 

Dustin – Instructor

I’ve been swimming for as long as I can remember. I competed throughout high school and later taught swimming during my time in the Navy. I’m passionate about coaching here at PowerPacked Swimming and take great pride in helping students develop their skills, confidence, and love for the water.
