We had an excellent experience with Alyssa! She was incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging with both of my children, making each of them feel comfortable and confident in the water. The lesson was well organized, engaging, and tailored to each child's skill level. I was impressed by how much progress both of my children made in just one session. Alyssa was professional, knowledgeable, and created a fun, positive learning environment. We left the lesson feeling so happy and motivated, and we're looking forward to more lessons. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic swim instructor!

I booked Alyssa for my 5 year old son and 4 year old daughter. She was very patient with my daughter as she is terrified with water that she thinks is too deep. Alyssa was able to get my son into the water even though he was quite reluctant at first. Overall, this is great if your child does not do well with a busy swim class. However, my son loves playing with other children and was asking where the other kids were after 😅.

After not swimming in any deep water since my teens, I wanted to regain my confidence in the water and relearn a few basic swimming strokes. Alyssa was very patient, and helpful in this regard.

About Alyssa Y.

I'm a certified lifeguard and swim instructor, also certified in intermediate first aid and CPR Level C. I've taught private one-on-one and group lessons for two years, working with children as young as six months through adults, including individuals with disabilities. I'm currently a student working toward a diploma in Justice.

Teaching philosophy

I build a personal relationship with each student and base every lesson on where they currently are in their learning. I encourage students to challenge themselves in a way that builds real confidence in the water. My goal is to make lessons enjoyable while staying committed to helping each swimmer reach their full potential.
