Lazar is very structured and patient with kids. He creates a positive environment filled with encouragement, which helps children feel motivated and supported. My son is not only learning to listen and follow instructions, but most importantly, he is gaining confidence while developing his swimming skills

Lazar has been helping my twins learn to swim. Both have different abilities and he is able to adapt his instruction to their different strengths and areas of improvement.

My son is very difficult to teach because he likes to talk a lot & procrastinate. Lazar has been the only instructor that’s been able to nip that in the bud right away & consistently get my son swimming 50-55 min out of a 60 minute swim session. We are super happy with his teaching methods and will continue to hire him in the future.

Lazar was so gentle and patient yet strong and encouraging with my 6 year old son who hadn’t had lessons since before Covid. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. My son really took to him and has asked for more lessons with Lazar. Signing up with him again for next week! Thanks Lazar.

Lazar was amazing! He was extremely patient with my son and did a lot in the hour. The lesson was so worth it!

About Lazar W.

I grew up on the Sunshine Coast and studied Outdoor Recreation Management at Capilano University. Kayaking and swimming by the water are my favorite outdoor activities. I have a wide range of work experience, but instructing is what I enjoy the most. Seeing people overcome their doubts and fears to improve is one of the main reasons I love instructing. In addition, I am scuba certified so I can help practice the skills needed for PADI and SSI courses. My first instructing role I had was helping mentor karate at my hometown’s local Dojo in Roberts Creek. I have been teaching swimming lessons, first aid, and introductory lifeguard courses for the past eight years. My teaching experience extends to a diverse range of students, from adults to toddlers. Additionally, I have taught adapted programs through the YMCA summer camp and swimming lessons. Furthermore, I am vaccinated.
