About Maiya M.
My swimming journey started with lessons, just like many of my students. I then spent time swimming recreationally before joining a competitive swim club through my teens, where I trained and competed at the provincial level. That passion for the water led me to lifeguarding and swim instruction, where I now help others build confidence and skills.
Teaching philosophy
My competitive swim background gave me strong technical skills, patience, and a commitment to growth that I bring into every lesson. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and encouraging environment where swimmers of all abilities feel comfortable trying new skills, building confidence, improving technique, and developing lifelong water safety skills.

A typical first lesson
Your first lesson begins with an assessment to understand your current skills, comfort level, and goals. Together we’ll create a personalized plan, including what to focus on, an estimated lesson timeline, and strategies to build confidence in a safe, encouraging environment where trying new skills feels fun and supported. ➡Follow @SwimCoachMaiya
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.
