Julia did a great job connecting and building trust with our, very energetic, four year old son. The lesson went great and he is excited to go back for more

Julia has been amazing! She's friendly, patient, encouraging, and makes both kids and parents feel comfortable right away. She explains techniques clearly, gives helpful feedback, and has helped our child build confidence in deeper water. She focuses on the little details, like body position and posture, and explains how to change them making it easy to understand and improve.

Very impressed with our first lesson with Julia. She was very calm, encouraging, and fun for my two young boys. I look forward to their continued progress working with her!

About Julia G.

I'm Julia, a UBC student with over three years of experience as a swim instructor. Swimming has always been a passion of mine. I work with swimmers from beginners just getting comfortable in the water to those preparing for lifeguarding. I hold Water Safety Instructor, National Lifeguard, and Standard First Aid and CPR Level C certifications.

Teaching philosophy

My teaching style is patient and supportive, with a strong emphasis on safety. I specialize in refining strokes according to Swim for Life standards while helping students build endurance and confidence. I believe swimming and water safety are essential life skills that people of all ages can learn and enjoy.
