About Teyah R.
I'm a passionate swim instructor with over seven years of experience with the City of Surrey, teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities from children to adults. I hold an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and am currently a medical student, which has deepened my understanding of human movement, learning, and individual health needs.
Teaching philosophy
My teaching style is energetic, creative, patient, and supportive. I recognize that every swimmer learns differently and comes with their own comfort level, learning style, and physical abilities. I strive to create lessons that are engaging, adaptable, and individualized so each student can progress at their own pace while feeling successful

Life after lessons
A typical first lesson
Every swimmer is unique, so the first lesson is all about getting to know the individual. I take into account each student's age, previous swimming experience, and any completed swim levels to create a lesson plan that is tailored specifically to them.

Where I teach
Maple Ridge East
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.
