Riya was absolutely amazing with both my children. She has a very calm composure and made them feel at ease since lesson 1 They have progressed a lot in just a few lessons. If you have children who have a fear associated with swimming, I highly recommend Riya!

Riya is exceptionally good as a coach. I and my daughter both are getting swimming lessons from her. She is very patient and very encouraging. Thank you Riya. Looking forward to continuing working with you❤️

Was my daughter’s first time in lessons when starting with Riya. Riya is a mix of structured, firm and kind- a good combination. My daughter likes Riya and has shown so much progress in a short amount of time. Her confidence has grown a lot.

Both my kids and I loved Riya's intensity that was evenly balanced with her gentle explanations and instructions. Riya is an awesome instructor!
