My child likes Rose very much. She is very professional and patient. My child understands things quickly and makes rapid progress in every class.

Rose was very patient in teaching my son. He is very scared of getting his face wet especially his eyes and Rose was able to slowly de-sensitize this through fun and not force. In only 2 sessions, we saw huge improvements and willingness to try. She knows when to encourage my son and knows when to make him feel comfortable so he is not overwhelmed. Most importantly, she has kept my son interested and enjoying time in the pool.

I had my first swim lesson with Rose and it went really well. I've always been a bit anxious in the water, and she really understood what I needed and worked with me at my own pace. She's helping me build confidence and I'm looking forward to more lessons as I work toward my goal of training for my first triathlon. I recommend her if you want a patient, encouraging instructor!

About Rose Y.

I have 20 years of teaching experience helping swimmers of all ages develop confidence, skills, and a lifelong love of the water. I hold swim instructor certifications from Canada (Lifesaving Society), Australia, and Hong Kong, and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist.

Teaching philosophy

As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I understand how children learn and communicate. I use patient, positive, and individualized teaching methods that help swimmers feel comfortable, motivated, and successful in every lesson. I adapt to each swimmer's goals — whether water safety, stroke development, competitive training, or overcoming water anxiety.

Where I teach

Maple Ridge East

30-31°C · 33ft long · 4ft to 9ft deep

A sunlit indoor pool with large windows on all sides, making the space feel open and easy to be in. The gradual stair entry works well for young kids or anyone just getting comfortable in the water, and the pool is spacious enough that multiple swimmers never feel crowded.Depth reaches 9 feet, so instructors can work on deep-water skills like treading water and building real confidence away from the wall. Clean, private, and well-maintained, it's a solid spot whether it's a first lesson or a more advanced session.

Pool access details are provided after you book.
