Meet Sheelagh Carleton.

A love of teaching,
in and out of the water.

A beloved Bainbridge Island swim instructor, Sheelagh brings years of experience and a deep understanding of how young children learn. She has taught swimming in a variety of settings, most recently at Pleasant Beach Pool, and is also a preschool teacher and director and an early childhood Spanish teacher at Saint Cecilia.

Sheelagh is passionate about helping children grow their confidence in the water while building essential water safety skills. At Yurt Pool, she’s excited to bring that care to our small group lessons and help create a welcoming space where children can learn, families can connect, and community can grow.
