Coach Sydney
founder and owner
Founded and led by Sydney Erickson — certified instructor, owner, and devoted mother of two — Golden Coast was born from a deep belief that every child deserves to feel safe around water. Sydney is a 4+ year Swim Float Swim Certified as well as Lifeguard Certified that specializes in children ages 6 months to 6 years old.
Sydney’s journey into survival swim was inspired by her personal experience as a mother, including the unique needs of her son, who is on the autism spectrum.
Because of this, she approaches every lesson with an unwavering foundation of patience, empathy, and individualized instruction, ensuring that each child is supported at their pace and celebrated for every milestone, big or small.
At Golden Coast, we believe swimming is more than a lesson —
it’s a life skill, a confidence builder, and the beginning of lifelong memories.
Our program blends evidence-based survival swim techniques with the warmth and spirit of the California coast. Each lesson is intentional, child-led, calm, and focused, allowing children to learn how to roll to their back, float, breathe, and return to safety with independence.
