SwimSwim lessons with Alancia J.

Hi, I’m Alancia! With over eight years of experience as a certified lifeguard and swim instructor, I specialize in teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities—from toddlers taking their first dip to adults learning to swim for the first time or refining their technique. I’m also experienced in supporting individuals with diverse physical and mental abilities, ensuring every swimmer feels confident, comfortable, and empowered in the water. I’m a proud graduate of UBC, where I competed as a varsity athlete, and served as an Academic Coach for student-athletes. Now, I’m pursuing my Juris Doctor. My background in education, coaching, and advocacy informs my approach to swim instruction: every swimmer learns differently, and I tailor each lesson to suit individual goals, needs, and comfort levels. Whether you're learning to swim for the first time or aiming to improve your skills, I’m here to support your progress and ensure you enjoy every moment in the water. My teaching philosophy blends structure, encouragement, and fun to build strong swimmers. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to seeing you at the pool!
