AQUATICS

Hey! My name is Marina, but your kids might call me Mermaid Mina during class. I have been working with swimmers of all ages from infants to adults for the last 15 years. It has been my greatest gift imparting the joys of swimming to my clients. For me, the water has always been my safe space. It’s where I go to ground, rejuvenate, and reconnect with myself — which is what I hope to share with my clients.

Additionally, I have experienced incredible breakthroughs through consistent yoga practice and energy healing, which I began practicing while living abroad. Now back in Philly, it is a privilege to share mindfulness and embodiment practices with clients looking to find reprieve from the daily hustle and grind. I aim to slow things down enough to allow your system to recalibrate to harmony. Whether it’s in the pool or on the mat, I look forward to seeing you to your personal success.

Hi, I’m Maximus. I am a swim instructor with The Lab and it has been an amazing journey so far. I’m currently studying Elementary Education at Temple University and hoping to get my doctorate to broaden my perspective on life and education. Since I was a child, I’ve been very drawn to the natural elements and water was a direct connection to who I felt I could be. As a competitive swimmer for 10+ years, I’ve learned so much about the magic that the pool can bring to your everyday life. My goal with The Lab is to share these experiences in a stress free environment and, hopefully, build a strong sense of partnership with my clients and the water.

Hey y’all! I’m Olivia. I’ve worked with swimmers of all ages for more than 17 years. My parents told me that at 6 months old, I toddled over and jumped into a hotel pool which scared them but ignited my love of the water. I began my competitive swimming career at the age of eight (8) and swam all the way through high school, at Friends’ Central, and collegiately, at Ohio Wesleyan University. My passion is in making sure that everyone has access and the skills needed to feel at home in the water. I am an athlete, a traveler, and a multi hyphenated human overall. I look forward to working with you and The Lab soon!
