Experienced, patient swim instructor helping all ages build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love for the water.
About Gilana M.
I started teaching five years ago. I've always loved being in the water and enjoy helping others become confident swimmers. Whether you're learning the basics, overcoming fear, or improving your technique, I create a positive and encouraging environment where every lesson is tailored to your goals and progress.
Teaching philosophy
I believe the best learning happens when students feel safe, supported, and challenged at the right pace. I focus on building strong fundamentals, celebrating small wins, and adapting every lesson to each swimmer's experience, comfort level, and learning style.

A typical first lesson
The first lesson starts with getting to know you and your goals. I'll assess your current swimming ability and comfort level in the water, then we'll work on foundational skills or techniques that match your needs. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a clear plan for future progress and practical skills to keep building your confidence.
