About Dystany S.

I'm a private swim instructor and certified lifeguard with 8+ years of experience teaching across Jamaica, Halifax, and Vancouver. I work with all ages and abilities, and I specialize in supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodiverse needs, as well as neurotypical swimmers.

Teaching philosophy

My approach is calm, patient, and highly adaptive. Whether a student is working to overcome a fear of water, improve stroke technique, or build strength through swim-based rehabilitation, I meet each swimmer exactly where they're at. My goal is to make the water a safe, empowering, and fun space for everyone.

Where I teach

Sandman Signature Mississauga Hotel

30-31°C · 40ft long · 3ft to 4ft deep

This bright saltwater pool in Mississauga’s Dixie area offers the ideal setup for swim lessons. With a shallow stairway entry that helps beginners ease into the water and a longer length than most pools for practicing distance, this pool supports swimmers at every stage. Natural light fills the space, creating a calm, open atmosphere, and the hot tub adds comfort for students winding down and receiving feedback at the end of their session.

Pool access details are provided after you book.
