My 6 year experience teaching lessons expands across all ages, abilities and learning styles with my 2 year anniversary of teaching with Propel in March 2025! I enjoy teaching lessons both indoors and outdoors with different companies and municipalities. I am employed as a lifeguard within the city in addition to teaching privately with Propel. Across all opportunities, I have found that many swimmers see more swift improvement during these private sessions as opposed to group lessons since there is more one-on-one time spent learning and practicing these skills. As an instructor, I like to build self-confidence in the participant's personal swimming abilities before letting go and encouraging improvement. I believe that promoting water safety and comfort helps to improve swimming abilities alongside lifelong safety and confidence. In my lessons, I tend to spend some class time encouraging participants to think about how swimming works mechanically and how to utilize one's natural ability to float and swim.
Located in the heart of Port Moody, just moments from the skytrain with ample street parking is a warm, family friendly pool perfect for children learning to swim and adults looking to advance their skills. The shallow side has a ladder for entry and is great for young children and beginning swimmers at 3 feet deep. A subtle slope leading to the deepest part of the pool at 8 feet is great to practice more advanced skills. With a brand new heater installed, the pool is kept at 86F (30C) perfect for those just learning to swim. We have a newly renovated bathroom right off the pool deck and pool deck changing pods for those who want to change quick before and after lessons. Shower available upon request.
Pool access details are provided after you book.
