Norah B
Serving Burlington/Waterdown
I’m currently studying Life Sciences at Queen’s University, working toward my dream of becoming a pediatric oncologist! I was a competitive swimmer for years, and my love for the water led me to become a lifeguard and swim instructor! I’ve been teaching lessons for four years, and I absolutely love helping swimmers of all ages build confidence and master new skills. Nothing beats the excitement of seeing someone overcome a challenge! My specialties include beginner and intermediate swim instruction, stroke refinement, and water safety education. I’ve worked with kids, adults, and individuals with different learning needs! Excited to meet all of you!

I plan to go to college for police foundations and I aspire to be a tac medic one day, My favourite thing about being a lifeguard and swim coach is when I see the kids get excited about their accomplishments and become passionate about their swimming! Some of my teaching specialties are my warm up songs for the little kiddos and my halftime games for the big ones.

I am currently in my second year of Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Brock University, and I am planning on pursuing a field with a focus on pediatrics. I have been a lifeguard/swim instructor for the past 4 years, and I love seeing swimmers progress in their skills and gain confidence in the water. With a background of competitive swimming, I am great at helping swimmers improve their stroke techniques and breathing efficiency. I love working with all ages, and I approach teaching with patience and a positive attitude!

I am currently at Wilfrid Laurier University for a Bachelors of Kinesiology. The thing I love most about being a lifeguard and swim instructor is seeing people of all ages realize how much they can actually achieve, and helping people get over fears of water! My teaching specialties are adults (beginner and intermediate) as well as older children.
Ainsley P
Serving Oakville
After graduating from my current high school, Appleby College, I am studying Kinesiology/Health studies for my undergrad! I love creating a fun and positive environment for my students. Watching them develop skills and building confidence in the water extremely rewarding, and I love having such a positive impact on their lives! I specialize in building confidence in nervous swimmers, tailoring lessons to individual needs, and making learning fun through engaging drills. My background as a coach and summer camp counselor helps me connect with kids and adapt to different learning styles, whether it’s in or out of the water. I can’t wait to get started this summer!
Avery W
Serving Oakville
I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Guelph. I was a competitive swimmer for 6 years and have been a competitive swim coach/swim instructor for the last 4 years. What I love most about being a swim instructor is getting to see my swimmer’s progress as they accomplish skills they have been working on. My strengths include working with children starting from 3-10 years of age as well as teaching stroke technique, breathing, and speed for all strokes. I am a patient instructor who knows how to alter my teaching to best fit the strengths and needs of my swimmers.

I have a Bachelor of Science from Nipissing University and I am planning to go to medical school this coming fall. I love watching my students gain new skills and confidence in the water. I specialize in teaching front and back crawl. I will typically breakdown each component of the stroke, that way my students understand each movement better.

I have a degree from Trent University where I studied Biology with a minor in French and just finished up my first year of teachers college. I love to see the progression that the kids are able to make throughout the summer. It is equally rewarding to see them gain confidence in the water and be excited to swim!
