Roya is hands down the best swim instructor we have ever encountered! She was incredibly patient with my 13 and 16-year-olds, keeping them highly engaged while focusing sharply on perfecting their techniques. Her thorough approach, valuable inputs, and consistent progress updates were fantastic. We highly recommend her!

About Roya H.

I'm a Certified Swim Instructor and National Lifeguard with 15+ years of experience. I combine professional swim instruction with ICF-Certified Life Coaching to offer a holistic, supportive experience. I work with swimmers at every level — from complete beginners stepping into the pool for the first time to those preparing for professional

Teaching philosophy

I believe swimming is more than a skill — it's a gateway to safety, self-confidence, and inner peace. My approach combines safety (following Canadian Lifesaving Society standards), correct technique (stroke mechanics, breathing control, energy efficiency), and confidence-building (overcoming fear of water).

Where I teach

Surrey Panorama Ridge

30-31°C · 45ft long · 3ft to 10ft deep

A hidden neighborhood retreat, this bright indoor pool feels like a mini getaway. Sunlight pours through the large panel doors along one end, lighting up the sparkling blue water while giving swimmers a fun peek at the outdoors. The pool's gentle stair entry is perfect for toddlers easing into the water, and the gradual depth and long length allow everyone from beginners to confident swimmers to practice at their own pace. Just steps away, a newly renovated restroom, shower, and changing room make getting ready easy for parents juggling towels and goggles. Warm lighting, fresh facilities, and a welcoming atmosphere come together to create a safe, cheerful space where families and individuals can build skills, confidence, and happy memories in the water.

Pool access details are provided after you book.
