Stephen, you found a way to get him to participate whereas previously he would just shut down. He said he had fun and that is my goal while he learns to swim! Thank you so much!!!

Our son has gained confidence with Stephen after a big set back in lessons. Stephen is engaging, gentle, but strong presence, creating a safe space to make the lessons fun

My kiddo refused to put his head into water without plugging his nose. With a couple lessons with Stephen, he was able to get him to feel confident to go in the water. Stephen is sooooo patient with my kiddo. He is great at redirecting my kiddo while keeping his engaged. The lessons are super fun but my kiddo learns so much. Highly recommend!

My three year old responds extremely well to Stephen’s coaching. He makes the lessons fun while also adding the essentials for water safety. My son has done lessons at pedal heads, aquaventures and with the community centre but these lessons by far out weigh our experience with swimming here in Vancouver. Stephen comes highly recommended!

About Stephen F.

What started off as a job and hobby has grown to become a full-time career and passion of mine. Through my 20 years in aquatics, I have gained experiences and insights that have allowed me to excel at connecting people with water. I am now responsible for managing an aquatics team and programs at a public recreation centre, but I miss the gratification of personally being involved in the growth and success of individuals as I guide them to achieve their goals. Allow me to bring this passion to our lessons together so that you may build a positive and productive relationship with swimming. If you don't see any availability that fits your schedule, please reach out to me!
