I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor! Novica was incredibly kind, patient, and encouraging. She helped me build my confidence in the water. I went from knowing nothing about swimming to being able to move around in the water after just one session! I’m so happy with my progress and looking forward to my next session. Highly recommend!

It was my first time having a one-on-one swimming lesson, and I definitely didn’t regret taking it! Novica was patient, friendly, and made me feel comfortable throughout the lesson. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. Looking forward to my next lesson!

My toddler was so scared of the water but Novica was so kind and caring he was asking more swim time by the end of his first lesson!

About Novica S.

I'm certified as a lifeguard and swimming instructor, experience teaching both 1-on-1 lessons and group swimming programs in the private and public sector in Calgary. I work with swimmers from diverse backgrounds, ages, abilities, and skill levels, from young children taking their first steps in the water to adult overcoming their fear of swimming.

Teaching philosophy

I believe swimming is more than just a sport, it's a lifelong skill that builds confidence, resilience, independence, and water safety. My goal is to create a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment where every swimmer feels safe, valued, and empowered to achieve their personal best.

A typical first lesson

We’ll start by discussing your swimming experience, goals, and comfort in the water. Then, we’ll assess your skills and focus on techniques that match your needs. After your first lesson, you’ll receive a personalized plan and report based on the Canadian Lifesaving Society curriculum, including skills learned and next goals.
