Deion has been incredible. His calm, patient demeanor has helped my son pick up and learn such great swim skills. After each lesson my son has shown more confidence in the water and also he really looks forward to his lessons with Deion. Without any hesitation I would recommend Dion! When my son is able to do something on his own at the public pool my thanks guess to him!

My 2 kids, ages 9 and 10, have had a few lessons with Deion and he’s great! These are my kids’ first lessons and they were nervous in the water. Deion has been so kind and patient with them! Hoping to continue and have more lessons with Deion!

Our 3 and 5 year old have had a couple lessons with Deion. We admire Deion's patience with our new swimmers. They are gaining confidence in the water and Deion manages their fear and challenges them to push their limits slowly. We like his pace and attention to detail.

This is my first time having to do a swim lesson privately and wouldn’t have it with someone else! He is so good at explaining things and so patient with me whenever I get scared. A lot of laughs and smile. Always looking forward to see him every week!

About Deion F.

I used to be terrified of the water when I was younger, so I know firsthand what it takes to overcome that fear. I worked through it and improved to the point where I can now teach others. I swam competitively in high school and have been a private swim instructor for about 4 years. I'm a certified lifeguard and trained in first aid.

Teaching philosophy

I make each lesson personalized to each person's wants and needs. I believe private lessons are the best way to reach your full potential, and I bring the patience and perseverance needed for every individual — because everyone learns at their own pace. I also have the equipment on hand to help students get where they need to be.

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.
