A CARING APPROACH
Ms. Nakamura’s path shifted in 2012, when she decided to focus her energy on personalized instruction. What was once centered on stopwatches and medals became a mission of individualized care:
Beyond swimming: learning to live in the water.
Instruction for Every Stage
From play-based learning for children to the technical refinement of the four competitive strokes for adults.
First Strokes
Specializing in infant lessons starting at 4 months, with a focus on survival swimming techniques and a nurturing adaptation to the water.
Transformative Inclusion
Since 2008, she has been dedicated to teaching students with special needs. Through programs such as Step Up For Students, swimming becomes a powerful tool for autonomy and inclusion.
THE NAKAMURA PHILOSOPHY
"My career began in competitive racing lanes, but my purpose was truly defined by the smile of a child overcoming their fear of water and the peace of mind of parents who know their children are safe."
With over 30 years of experience, including decades as an athletic department coordinator and instructor at renowned institutions such as Colégio Eduardo Gomes (supported by the Rotary Club), Ms. Nakamura brought to Orlando a teaching standard that respects each student's individual pace without compromising technical precision.
WHAT STRENGTHENS OUR BRAND:
NAKAMURA SWIMMING TODAY

Today, Nakamura Swimming is the embodiment of this journey. Awarded Best of Orlando in 2024, 2025 and 2026, the school reflects the discipline of a former athlete and the warmth of an educator who believes that swimming is, above all, life insurance.
