She is a professional swimmer with over 25 years of experience training all levels of swimming, from absolute beginners to advanced, including swim team, adults & triathletes. Jaynie, a life-long swimmer, also swam competitively for 15 years. She is passionately committed to water safety and to creating swimming miracles in her students’ lives. Jaynie holds a master’s degree in education & a CA K-8 teaching credential.

Christina Buck has been the operations manager at Farnsworth swim school since 2016. She began competitively swimming at the age of 9 up until her sophomore year at Cal Poly. Her passion for swimming, combined with her calling to work with children, led her to teach lessons at the Farnsworth Swim School starting in 2011. Christina then taught 5th grade in Los Altos for 6 years. She is currently taking a break from teaching to care for her three children. Her 2 older children attend lessons at FSS every summer and her youngest is excited to join in on the lessons soon!

Alex Hardy is excited to be the new operations manager starting this Summer 2023! He started competitively swimming at age 9 in club and later on through high school. Alex started teaching swim lessons and lifeguarding in 2013 in the Milpitas/San Jose area, which allowed him to find his passion for teaching aquatics and safety. To further his passion for teaching, Alex graduated from San Francisco State University and is currently studying to get his teaching credential. He has had his hands in other aquatic areas as well, including swim coaching and lifeguard certification, and through this hopes to help everyone have the best experience possible in the water!

All instructors are highly trained in Water Safety Instruction, CPR, Farnsworth Swim School trained from American Red Cross & have extensive swim team experience. Jaynie and Christina will be teaching for part of the summer along with other excellent instructors.
