Liz Parry Taylor, Founder of Hamptons Swim, has seen firsthand how essential swimming is—not only in a beach community like the Hamptons, but for everyone.

With a background as an ocean lifeguard, collegiate swimmer, and international coach, Liz brings a well-rounded perspective to swim instruction. She holds a Master’s degree in Special Education and spent 15 years as a classroom teacher. She is also a certified U.S. Swim Coach and Red Cross Water Safety Instructor.

​

Liz has been recognized as a Dan’s Papers Power Woman of the East End and was inducted into their Hall of Fame in 2023. Her work has also been featured in publications including New York Magazine, Business Traveler, Business Insider, and Disruptor’s Magazine.

​

With over 23 years of experience in aquatics, Liz has developed a teaching approach that focuses on meeting each swimmer where they are—regardless of age, ability, or learning style. Hamptons Swim instructors are trained in this method, which incorporates Montessori principles, multi-sensory learning, and play-based techniques.

​

At Hamptons Swim, the focus is on helping each swimmer build confidence, develop skills, and feel safe—whether they are just getting started, overcoming fear, or refining technique. In addition to in-person lessons, Hamptons Swim offers a Water Safety eCourse that can be completed at home, making instruction more accessible.

​

At its core, Hamptons Swim is committed to water safety and supporting every swimmer’s progress in and around the water.
