Serenity Swimming

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF OPERATION

On Friday June 6, 2025 Serenity Swimming opened its doors to welcome families from all over the greater Frederick area and beyond looking to foster a positive relationship with the water in many different capacities.

Over the first year of operation Serenity Swimming has grown substantially, now employing 10 swim instructors and serving nearly 300 families, open 7 days a week for private lessons, group aquatic workouts and pre-swim team training. The staff employed at Serenity have diverse backgrounds including RBT certification and Exercise Science allowing them to understand and adapt to a multitude of swimmers needs including but not limited to; physical ailments, special needs, injuries and anxieties surrounding the water. In addition to complex and differing qualifications, all swim instructors employed at Serenity Swimming are American Red Cross lifeguard certified along with 3 instructors having earned Level 2 Adaptive Swim Whisperers Certifications through the Swim Angelfish Program.

Jenni Hoover (owner and water whisperer extraordinaire) has worked tirelessly to set Serenity Swimming apart from other swim schools. Part of her dream in opening a swim school was to share her passion for the sport with those around her and educate as many people as possible about the importance of water safety. Working a full schedule of her own private lessons has been an unwavering priority for Jenni to remain involved in her business and community which has promoted a positive staff morale. How often have you wished your boss knew what it was like to work in your shoes?; well Jenni does. In recognition of all of the hard work that has been put into making Serenity Swimming what it is, Jenni was awarded the title of SBA Baltimore District Office’s 2026 Woman Owned Small Business of the Year.

As we reflect on the past year of operation, we want to thank all of the families who have trusted us in being a part of their journey through swimming no matter how big or small. While it has been an incredible year for Serenity, we know this is just the beginning of the legacy we plan to leave in our community and we hope that if anyone has been considering taking the leap into lessons, they do it feet first into our pool.
