Teacher Johnson is hands down one of the best swim coaches my kids have had. With an educational development professional background, you can really tell he knows how to work with kids. He's made lessons super fun for my 5 year old while still pushing him to work hard and progress his swimming skills. We started with him when my son was 3 and we'll keep with him because he's so good. Highly recommend you give him a try!

Johnson was wonderful working with our two girls. They both really enjoyed our class and he made sure they had fun! I noticed improvement in their skills after just one class.

Johnson provided three lessons for my son at Swim Kids Level 4. What an amazing experience! My son had Johnson's full and complete attention, meaning he was actively engaged in learning the skills. Johnson interspersed skills with games that furthered my son's swimming ability. I also like how positive Johnson was, and how clear his instructions were.

About Johnson C.

Hi, I’m Johnson, your next swim coach! 🏊‍♂️ With over 10 years of experience, I’ve taught everyone from 6-month-old Parent & Tot beginners to advanced Swim Kids 10 swimmers. My teaching style blends patience, technical expertise, and a genuine love for the water. I specialize in: -Preschool swimmers: building water confidence through fun, playful learning. -Older kids & adults: using my competitive background (Vikings, OMSC, PSTC, Leading Edge) to refine technique, speed, and endurance. -Adaptive lessons: volunteer experience with SwimAbility Okanagan helping children with special needs thrive in the pool. My approach: Swimming should be fun, but also progressive. I believe in making every lesson enjoyable while also pushing swimmers toward their personal best. Whether your goal is safety, fitness, or competition, I tailor lessons so you keep improving and feeling confident in the water. A few fun facts: Former Head Lesson Supervisor at Pedalheads Swim (formerly Atlantis Programs) Completed multiple triathlons, marathons & Gran Fondos, including Ironman 70.3 Victoria, T100 Vancouver and Ironman 70.3 Oregon 2025. Fluent in Mandarin as well — 我也會中文喔! 💧 Let’s make waves together, no matter your age or experience!
