Cleopatra Goodlin, Cleo for short, is the J Swim Academy Supervisor, and certified lifeguard at the Martin Pear Aquatics Center. She oversees the J Swim Academy and helps train our new instructors. Cleo is an experienced competitive swimmer and has done competitive club swimming for 7 years and water polo for 2 years. Following her swimming experience, she began teaching lessons and have done that ever since. Cleo’s coaching experience started with infant swim training and that turned into being able to teach all levels. All levels including Infants to Adults, with some experience teaching special needs. Recently, Cleo graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Criminal Justice. She has always wanted to help people and was not sure where that journey would take her. Overall, she has found so much joy working with kids in and around the water promoting water safety and teaching stoke development.
