About Tanya D.

I have 7.5 years of experience teaching swimmers of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced competitors. My goal is not only to teach technical skills but to instill a lifelong love for swimming and promote water safety.

Teaching philosophy

My teaching style is supportive, patient, and technique-focused. I use a step-by-step approach, breaking down complex strokes into manageable parts so swimmers build a strong foundation before advancing. I incorporate drills, games, and activities to keep lessons fun and engaging.

A typical first lesson

Please bring your own goggles, swim cap, flippers, and if needed a nose clip, and life jacket. I will provide a flutter board (adult and kid size), noodle, pull buoy, and sinking toys.


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.
