Meet Ethan – Your Swim Instructor

At Waterview Swim School, we take pride in offering personalized, one-on-one swim instruction designed to help every swimmer succeed. Now in our 5th season, we’ve taught hundreds of children and adults to swim with confidence through our proven Guarantee to Swim program.

Whether you’re in Rowlett or Bryan/College Station, Waterview Swim combines a welcoming, supportive environment with professional-level teaching.

Hi, I’m Ethan Chapa—founder of Waterview Swim School and your instructor here in College Station.

I started Waterview Swim when I was just 16 years old because I wanted to make a difference in my community. What began as a backyard swim school quickly grew into one of the most trusted names in private swim instruction across the DFW area. I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of children and adults—from first-time swimmers to advanced learners—achieve their goals in the water.

Now, as a student at Texas A&M University, I’m excited to bring Waterview Swim to College Station and Bryan. Teaching swim lessons isn’t just a summer job for me—it’s a passion and a mission.

With years of hands-on experience, I specialize in helping swimmers of all ages feel safe, confident, and capable in the water. Many of my students learn the basics in just a few lessons.

Every swimmer is different. That’s why I design each lesson around your unique needs—whether it’s overcoming fear, learning your first strokes, or improving technique for fitness and recreation.

I know adults can feel nervous about learning, and kids often need extra encouragement. My lessons are built on patience, support, and fun so every swimmer feels comfortable.

Lessons can be held in your pool or at a nearby location in Bryan/College Station, making it convenient and stress-free.
