About Tanya D.

I have 7.5 years of experience teaching swimmers of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced competitors. My goal is not only to teach technical skills but to instill a lifelong love for swimming and promote water safety.

Teaching philosophy

My teaching style is supportive, patient, and technique-focused. I use a step-by-step approach, breaking down complex strokes into manageable parts so swimmers build a strong foundation before advancing. I incorporate drills, games, and activities to keep lessons fun and engaging.

A typical first lesson

Please bring your own goggles, swim cap, flippers, and if needed a nose clip, and life jacket. I will provide a flutter board (adult and kid size), noodle, pull buoy, and sinking toys.
