Riya is great with children. My kids love going to her for their swimming lessons. This especially helps a lot for my little one who has anxiety with getting his head wet. Thank you :)

Riya was absolutely amazing with both my children. She has a very calm composure and made them feel at ease since lesson 1 They have progressed a lot in just a few lessons. If you have children who have a fear associated with swimming, I highly recommend Riya!

Riya is exceptionally good as a coach. I and my daughter both are getting swimming lessons from her. She is very patient and very encouraging. Thank you Riya. Looking forward to continuing working with you❤️

Was my daughter’s first time in lessons when starting with Riya. Riya is a mix of structured, firm and kind- a good combination. My daughter likes Riya and has shown so much progress in a short amount of time. Her confidence has grown a lot.

About Riya S.

I've worked in both large community pool group classes and intimate private lesson settings, so I know how to adjust to what each swimmer needs.

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.
