Patricia is so great with my daughter and is fantastic at making swim lessons both motivating and fun at the same time. She is so patient and encouraging. My daughter loves her lessons with Patricia. After watching her with my daughter, I also signed up for lessons of my own. I’ve already noticed so much improvement with my swimming skills and it’s all due to Patricia’s teaching. She’s amazing!

My 9 year old has always been hesitant with her swimming experience. Patricia was kind and encouraging, quick to assess my daughter’s skill set, and gave positive challenges that she was able to meet which helped develop her confidence within only one lesson! My daughter loved having the one on one time to ensure that no moment was wasted and she was able feel herself improve during the lesson. We will definitely book again!

Patricia was a very kind, patient and encouraging swim instructor. My two boys loved her and asked when they could have a lesson with her again😀 She works very well with kids by providing great instruction and a very calm and welcoming environment.

About Patricia S.

Hi I’m Patricia! I have 10+ years of experience as a swim instructor and a lifelong background in swimming. I currently work as an aquatic leader for a local municipality and teach lessons to students of all ages and abilities. I am also a certified Lifesaving Instructor and teach Bronze Medallion/ Cross, key certifications for future lifeguards.

Teaching philosophy

I aim to make every lesson safe, engaging, and tailored to each student's specific needs. I believe swimming is a skill everyone should have - it's a fun, low-impact form of exercise and an important survival skill.
