We had our first swim lesson today with both of my kids, and it was a great experience! Maria was patient, friendly, and made my children feel comfortable in the water right away. The lesson was well organized, engaging, and age-appropriate for my 4 and 2 year old! My kids had so much fun and my daughter already looking forward to the next class. We’re excited to continue our lessons and highly recommend her!

I really enjoyed my daughters first swimming lesson with her! I wasn't too sure how my daughter would do, but she opened up to her completely! She was very calm and understanding with her. I'm excited for our next swimming lessons.

Such an amazing instructor. My kids were very anxious try swimming lessons and by the end of the first class they were saying how much fun they were having. She was very accommodating to our needs, patient , knowledgeable …and best of all my kids loved her.

About Maria B.

I'm a mom of two, a lifelong water lover, and I've been teaching swimming since 2010. Over the past 16 years, I've helped hundreds of children take their first kicks, conquer their fears, and celebrate their swimming successes. My specialty is working with toddlers and young children. I also teach parents and adults to swim as well!

Teaching philosophy

I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a playful approach that helps little swimmers feel safe while building strong water skills. I understand both the instructor perspective and the parent perspective, which allows me to create lessons that are fun, effective, and tailored to each child.

A typical first lesson

Every swimmer learns at their own pace. We'll work side by side on breath work, bubbles, floating, kicking, movement, and water confidence using fun activities and games. My goal is to create a safe, encouraging environment where every swimmer can succeed and enjoy the water.

Where I teach

Langley Aldergrove

30-31°C · 34ft long · 3ft to 6ft deep

A serene indoor pool in Aldergrove, set beneath a vaulted cedar ceiling with skylights for a calm, welcoming atmosphere. A wide stairway entry makes it easy for small children to ease in, while the 6-foot depth gives intermediate swimmers room to work on submersion and deeper-water progressions. Single-capacity bookings mean you'll have the entire pool to yourself for the full lesson.

Pool access details are provided after you book.
