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 was wonderful with my 3 year old. It was her (my childs) first swim lesson and Julia was wonderful with her. Very patient and go with the flow. She had some structure to her lesson, but also handled situations where my kiddo got distracted, or didnt want to do certain activities, well. She was always able to bring my daughter's attention back to the lesson.

I truly do not have the words for how wonderful my experience with Julia G. was; but I will try! Julia is such a gifted teacher. I am a young adult swimmer trying to prepare for a triathlon. I haven’t swam in ages, and wanted to improve my technical skills. Julia jumped right in for the challenge, she managed to teach me the basics of front crawl, back crawl, breast stroke, and many other useful treads / strokes all in an hour! She was incredibly patient, and managed to fit her style of teaching to my way of understanding. I’m quite a visual learner, and Julia picked up on that quickly. Instead of explaining things she would show me and have me replicate it along side her. This was incredibly helpful and made the whole experience less nerve racking. It’s a bit of a bummer not being confident in your swimming skills as an adult, but she did not allow me to second guess myself for a second! Her encouragement was so helpful in guiding me to success! I am so thankful to her talent and will definitely be booking more sessions with her in the future. I would recommend anyone to book with Julia from children to adults, and beginners to advanced swimmers. She will adapt to your needs and make sure you have a blast while learning SO much.

My kids had their first lesson with Julia today. They both gave her a 10/10!

Julia was fantastic! Both of my kids who can be shy warmed up to her quickly. My 5 year old made more progress with her in 30 minutes than she had in a whole semester of swimming lessons somewhere else

About Julia G.

Hi, my name is Julia, and I am a student at UBC. I have over two years of experience as a swim instructor, and I enjoy tailoring each lesson to meet the individual needs of my students. Swimming has always been a passion of mine, and I love helping others build confidence and skills in the water. I believe that swimming and water safety are essential life skills that people of all ages can learn and enjoy. 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 also helping students build endurance and confidence. I work with a wide range of swimmers from beginners who are just getting comfortable in the water to those looking to develop advanced skills, including lifeguarding preparation. My goal is to ensure every student feels safe, confident, and proud of their progress while achieving their personal goals. Certifications - Water Safety Instructor - National Lifeguard - Standard First Aid & CPR Level C
