Swim lessons with Gabriela L.

I have been swimming since the age of 3, starting with group lessons at the City of Calgary. I learned how to snorkel and be comfortable underwater in the Caribbean while on family vacations, and swam competitively for several years. In the meantime, I completed my Bronze Cross certification and Swim for Life Instructor course and have been teaching one on one private lessons for the past 2 years. Although I did not continue with competitive swimming for medical reasons, I have always loved being in the water and teaching kids to swim. Helping others develop their abilities and gain confidence in water makes my heart happy! I center my teaching around my students’ comfort level, adapting delivery around individual learning styles as much as possible. Ultimately, I believe in developing relationships because I believe that comfort in the water is paramount to the best learning!
