Hey everyone! My name is Kirat, and I am a dedicated Swim Instructor and Lifeguard.
I am passionate about swimming, and I bring enthusiasm and knowledge to every lesson. I strive to empower every student, from beginners to aspiring lifeguards, to conquer the water with confidence.
I have years of instructing, lifeguarding and leadership experience, networking with other talented instructors, and an intimate understanding of swimming techniques. I have taught more than two thousand students through Propel and group lessons, but I still always craft a personalised lesson that is completely tailored to the student’s needs. Whether you're aiming to overcome a fear of water, refine your strokes, or just be able to swim to survive, I’ve got you covered.
Our class would start even before you get in the water. I always reach out to my students before their first class to gauge their goals and prior experience. Then when we get into the water, I teach using a progression based approach, which is where we learn the basics and then build upon them one step at a time. For example, if you are a complete beginner, we would start with submersion and mobility in the water, then learn how to float, and then glide. Or maybe you have some swimming experience, and we would begin with a quick swim assessment to identify exact areas of improvement. Whatever the case is, I will ALWAYS align the lesson with your goals 😁
But it's not just about mastering the mechanics of swimming, it's also about fostering a love for the water. If you read my testimonials, you will see that my approach is warm and nurturing where I create a supportive environment, but still encourage students to take risks and push their boundaries.
