About Gilana M.
I started teaching five years ago. I've always loved being in the water and enjoy helping others become confident swimmers. Whether you're learning the basics, overcoming fear, or improving your technique, I create a positive and encouraging environment where every lesson is tailored to your goals and progress.
Teaching philosophy
I believe the best learning happens when students feel safe, supported, and challenged at the right pace. I focus on building strong fundamentals, celebrating small wins, and adapting every lesson to each swimmer's experience, comfort level, and learning style.

A typical first lesson
The first lesson starts with getting to know you and your goals. I'll assess your current swimming ability and comfort level in the water, then we'll work on foundational skills or techniques that match your needs. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a clear plan for future progress and practical skills to keep building your confidence.
Where I teach
Surrey Panorama Ridge
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.
