Swim lessons with AJ M.

Hello Hello! I have been working in Aquatics for over a decade, first as a volunteer instructor, and then as a Lifeguard-Instructor. I have worked at more than five facilities in my time as a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor thus far (including in the Waterloo Region, and Vancouver), and take great joy in providing entertaining and thoughtful swim lessons to all my students. I've taught both in Olympic sized pools, and smaller hotel ones with great efficiency. In addition, I've also taught and examined a variety of Lifeguarding courses, have supervised Lifeguard teams for regional competitive swim events, have taught Aquafit and Aquability, and have taught alongside Olympians. I absolutely adore teaching all levels and age groups, from the youngest of beginners to those with more experience who wish to focus on specific skills. Having a great number of years shadowing different instructors as a volunteer, I have a great breadth of teaching styles that I draw from as I promote the learning of my students, and take great pride in the strides (strokes) they take in the pool. As such, I will quickly tailor the lessons precisely to your needs - not just for your goals, but for your temperament and life experiences, so that I can make learning how to swim as seamless and enjoyable as possible for you. My teaching philosophy is to make things as fun and silly as possible for the younger learners (as I believe having great joy while learning will greatly accelerate their progress), and to make things as clear and concise as possible for the older learners (as I believe a fuller understanding will promote longevity in the skills you will develop from these classes). So feel free to sign-up for a class, and learn how to swim in the water like a pro!
