We did a joint lesson for my 2 boys with Tristan and he did an amazing job! My boys were not looking forward to the swim lesson and had lots of complaints before we went. But after an hour with Tristan, they completely changed their minds and said it was a fun, awesome lesson! During the lesson, I also saw immediate improvement. Tristan was a great match as a swim teacher for my kids.

We just had our son’s first swimming lesson with Tristan, and it was exceptionally promising! My son is usually very hesitant about putting his head under water, but Tristan’s clear guidance helped him make huge strides right away. Under Tristan's patient yet firm instruction, my son managed to swim with his chin and ear under water and even made bubbles with his mouth underwater! Tristan has a wonderful teaching style that kept my son focused and following directions. There is still a lot to learn, but we are completely confident that Tristan is the right person to teach our son how to swim safely and independently.

Tristan taught my kids' swim lessons today and he was fantastic. Really knows his stuff when it comes to technique and takes the time to actually explain it, not just demonstrate and move on - my kids came away understanding why they were doing things a certain way. He's also great at reading kids: comfortable enough in the water that they trust him, but he still pushes them to try things that are a bit outside their comfort zone, which is exactly what you want in an instructor. We'll be back for more lessons with him. Highly recommend if you're looking for someone for your kids.

Tristan is a great teacher. My son is very anxious and Tristan knew exactly how to proceed to make him feel comfortable in the water. They made a lot of progress in a single lesson, I highly recommend him.

About Tristan B.

I'm an engaged and adaptive instructor with 4 years of experience across Canada, working in pools and waterfront locations. I have over ten years of experience in competitive swimming and specialize in endurance and strength conditioning, focusing on honing skills to the max.

Teaching philosophy

I believe students learn best when they feel safe, encouraged, and challenged. I approach each lesson focused on adapting to the swimmer's needs and circumstances — proper communication between swimmer and instructor is key. I work well with all ages, from toddlers and preschoolers through to adult and fitness swimmers.

Where I teach

Port Moody

30-31°C · 32ft long · 3ft to 8ft deep

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.
