Backyard Splash LLC
Backyard Splash offers personalized swim instruction and coaching in a comfortable backyard pool setting.
Building Strong Swimmers from the Inside Out
Backyard Splash was founded in 2025 with a simple mission: to create a safe, supportive, and highly effective swim environment where every swimmer can grow with confidence. We specialize in personalized instruction, combining a strong foundation in water safety with a focus on proper technique and long-term skill development. Whether a swimmer is just getting comfortable in the water or refining strokes for competitive performance, each lesson is intentionally designed to meet them at their level. Our small group sizes and private lesson options allow for individualized attention, helping swimmers progress faster while feeling encouraged every step of the way. We also emphasize building endurance and confidence, so swimmers not only learn the skills, but truly know them. At Backyard Splash, we believe swimming is more than just a life skill, it’s something every child and adult should feel strong, capable, and proud of.
Meet Catarina
Hi, my name is Catarina Sanchez, and I discovered my love for swimming at just four years old in a backyard pool. That early experience grew into a lifelong passion, leading me to compete in swimming for over a decade while continuing to stay active in the sport today. I have been teaching swim lessons since the age of 15 and coaching for the last 5 years, gaining valuable experience working with swimmers of all ages and skill levels. I truly enjoy helping children and adults alike build confidence in the water and develop strong foundational skills. That passion is what inspired me to create Backyard Splash, which has grown from a personal project into a business I’m proud to run today.
