GET TO KNOW OUR TEAM
Ryan & Amy Schulz, Owners
Ryan and Amy are the proud owners of Salem Swim School. They are both passionate about kids having the opportunity to learn to swim and to be safe around water.
Having two little guys of their own at home and living near a lake, they have struggled finding quality swim lessons in our community that were consistent and provided a system to teach our boys to swim. We decided after trying three different programs out and being frustrated each time, that we would open Salem’s first stand alone swim school to fill a huge need in our community.
We hope this swim school blesses our community and provides so many opportunities for all members of your family. We are big on family and connection so we can’t wait to hear your swimmer’s amazing stories!
Taylor, Operations Manager
Hi!
My name is Taylor and I am the Operations Manager here at Salem Swim School. I have a background in competitive swimming and have a passion for the water.
I love helping kids build their confidence as their skills and ability to be safe near and in the water develop. I have extensive background in athletics and coaching. I have played competitive Volleyball & college Softball, as well as I am an Archer; I have enjoyed coaching these sports over the years too!
Outside of work, my husband and I, along with our 2 very young children, like to keep busy by getting outside and walking our dogs, playing sports, or going to the park. We love live music and traveling as well.
I am very excited to be a part of Salem Swim School! Watching and getting to be a part of kids growing and building their confidence is the favorite part of my role!
MORGAN, GENERAL MANAGER
Hi, I’m Morgan! I am a swimming professional with over 7 years of experience in instruction, coaching, and lifeguarding.
As a former competitive swimmer, I am passionate about teaching water safety and skills to all ages.
I also coached for the swim team, Las Vegas Swim Club, helping kids achieve their goals.

Kaitlyn, Site Supervisor
I am a certified Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard, who is passionate about helping swimmers feel confident and safe in the water.
I’m CPR and AED certified and also certified as an Aquatics Facility Operator.
I’m originally from Texas and recently moved to Oregon after being drawn to its beautiful scenery.
Outside of the pool, I love spending time with my wife and dog, visiting the library, and relaxing at home cooking and journaling.
I am so excited to see what this career path has in store for me in the future.
Kellie, Lead trainer
Hello!
During my years as a swim instructor, I have worked with babies, children, adults, and helped train new swim instructors. Teaching others in the pool is a very rewarding experience.
Learning how to behave in class, and how to safely swim in the water are such valuable life skills…..I love being a part of that journey with my students.
As the wife of a firefighter, and mother to 3 mostly grown children, I stay very busy away from the water. My family and I enjoy exploring all that Oregon has to offer through camping, fishing, hiking, riding off-road vehicles, and spending quality time with friends and family.
See you at the pool!
