I’m Maddie, Canadian Swim Instructor and 8 years experienced UK Level 2 Swim Instructor. Having moved here from the UK in May 2022, I quickly realised how inaccessible learning to swim in Vancouver is, and how many people needed to learn. Thus, I have made it my goal to teach as many babies, children, and adults to swim who didn’t have the access to do so before! I have a relaxed but boundary-based, warm approach to teaching people to swim, and make a conscious effort adapt my lessons to of the terms of the individual. Everyone learns differently!

Hi! I’m Joy I started swimming at a young age and have spent most of my working life at a pool as a swim, fitness, lifesaving and first aid instructor as well as a lifeguard. I have over 15 years of experience teaching swimming lessons to children of all ages as well as adults. I have also taught individuals with different physical and learning abilities. With such diverse communities, I aim to adapt my lessons to suit different learner types and take the time to break down skills to ensure a solid foundation is formed. I combine safety, skill and stroke development with fun so that all swimmers gain confidence and enjoy the water. Like a lot of people, I believe swimming is a life skill and I want to encourage everyone to learn how to be safe in and around the water!

Hi! I’m Leandro — Leo for short.

For as long as I can remember I was a little fish that always loved spending time in the water. I used to be a competitive swimmer in my teen years, and now I am a qualified lifeguard and swim instructor.

I have a way with passing knowledge forward in a manner that people really pick up on: in manageable chunks adapted to every person’s needs, so that each step becomes a solid foundation for the next one.

I’ve been told I have a knack with kids of all ages, and I also enjoy working with adults, including those who never learned how to swim or are afraid of water. So whether you’re a kid or an adult, whatever you affinity with water, I will help get you swimming like a fish before you know it.

Fun fact: I am a bilingual instructor — you can learn in English or Portuguese!

I’m a sport enthusiast; especially biking and swimming. I truly believe that swimming should be fun for everyone. At the same time, safety always comes first, because enjoying the water starts with feeling secure in it.

I’ve been fortunate to coach swimmers from different backgrounds including competitive swim clubs, triathletes who need endurance training and new swimmers who want to learn swimming basics. The most rewarding part of coaching for me is to assist people in their development while making them feel secure and helping them find joy in the learning process
