I’ll be honest, I was a little hesitant to invest in private swim lessons at first. They’re not cheap, and I wasn’t sure if they would truly make a difference. I decided to book just one to try it out and see if it was worth it. I cannot express enough how incredibly worth it they are. I recommend them to everyone now. My son was very, very afraid of the water. I’m talking full-on clinging like a koala, begging not to go in, at 7 years old. He likes to know exactly what’s happening and doesn’t do well with surprises. I wrote a note explaining this before our first lesson and without me even needing to say a word in person, Lindy-Lou was aware, gentle, patient, and so intentional with him. My daughter went in first and during her half hour lesson, Lindy-lou took the time to talk to my son on the sidelines explaining what she was doing and why. Genius. Within two lessons, my son was getting into the pool comfortably. By the next one, I couldn't drag him out.. literally all summer long. He became confident, independent, and now he begs us to take him swimming. He’s the first to tell you that he’s a fish now. I cannot recommend Lindy-Lou enough. I truly adore her, and I’m not even being dramatic when I say she has changed our lives. Book the lesson!

My daughter has always had a deep fear of water and the idea of not being able to breathe underwater, which made it impossible for her to learn swimming before. On my mother-in-law’s recommendation, we tried four private lessons with Lindy-Lou, and I am truly amazed. In just four sessions, she was able to help my daughter fully go underwater and even float on the surface — something I honestly never imagined possible. Since my daughter is entering her teenage years, she gave the instructor a hard time on the first day, but Lindy's incredible patience left me deeply impressed. As my mother-in-law had told me, she really is an extraordinary teacher — both my daughter and I felt it right away. We will definitely be coming back for more lessons during the school break. You will notice the difference from the very first class. Highly, highly recommended!👍

Lindy-Lou has taught both my kids over the last almost 14 years. Love her to pieces! How she breaks down swimming drills and always is able to bring up the level of confidence in my kids is the best to watch!

Lindy-Lou gives me great instruction (cues) that I relate to. I was very uncomfortable putting my head under water, I’m really loving this new adventure

Lindy-Lou was patient, calm and fun for our very anxious granddaughter. I couldn’t believe how quickly my granddaughter became comfortable with her. Thank you so much Lindy-Lou

My daughter is only two lessons in and she has already learned more than she would have in several regular lessons.

About Lindy-Lou T.

I've spent over half of my life sharing my love of swimming with others. Over three decades of teaching experience combined with post-secondary coursework in developmental psychology, education, and human kinetics inform how I work with everyone from tiny tots to older adults.

Teaching philosophy

I believe that everybody can become a lifelong swimmer. My ability to meet the individual needs of my students works well with people with physical or cognitive disabilities or those overcoming negative past experience in the water.
