Emily was so patient and flexible with my shy kid, and knew how to build up his skills so he could be confidently successful.

Emily has quickly adapted her program to suit our daughter's swimming skills. Our daughter was able to to do the back and breast strokes and dive when she attended Dutch swimming "bootcamp" in The Netherlands which started when she 3.5 years old. However, when we came back to Canada, the community pool swimming lessons made our child feel inadequate due to not being able to place a 5 year old in any spot as her skills did not match the Canadian system. Emily has quickly made our daughter happy to be back in a pool in Canada and her confidence has gone up. We recommend Emily and cannot thank her enough for all she has given back to our child. Thanks, Emily! - Kavita and Erwin

My daughter really enjoyed her lesson with Emily. The first thing she said when it was done was that she wanted to go again tomorrow! She learned so much in an hour, and Emily was great with keeping her focused and having fun

We had a wonderful experience with Emma as our son’s swimming instructor. She was patient, kind, and made him feel comfortable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great swim teacher for young children.

About Emily M.

I've been a swim instructor and coach for 4 years and a competitive swimmer for 10 years. I've worked with kids of all ages in Mission for 5+ years through various community programs in addition to swim lessons. My background includes working with children who have diverse needs, including autism.

Teaching philosophy

I adapt to wherever a swimmer is starting from, whether they're a beginner learning the basics or a competitive athlete working on technique and endurance. My community program background means I know how to work with children who have diverse needs, including autism, in a way that's supportive, effective, and enjoyable.

A typical first lesson

We will always begin with your goals and expectations for our first lesson! Share where you are at and where you would like to be, and I build my lessons around you and your abilities. We'll pick up where you've left off last in the pool, building in some new skills, tips, and tricks to stay comfortable while having fun in the water 🌊.
