SwimSwim lessons with Phronsie C.
Certified & Experienced Swim Instructor | Patient & Encouraging Swim Instructor Helping Beginners Build Confidence in the Water
About Phronsie C.
I grew up swimming competitively in a swim club in Hong Kong and taught swimming for 13 years. I also teach skiing and snowboarding, including adaptive snowsports. I love helping swimmers of all ages and abilities feel safe, build confidence, improve their skills, and discover the joy of being in the water while having fun and reaching their goal
Teaching philosophy
My lessons are patient, encouraging, and tailored to each swimmer’s needs and goals. I focus on building confidence and strong fundamentals while making learning fun. With experience teaching adaptive snowsports, I’m comfortable adapting my coaching style to different abilities and learning styles, so every swimmer can progress at their own pace.

A typical first lesson
Beginners are always welcome! Your first lesson is relaxed and personal. We’ll chat about your experience, comfort level, and goals before I gently assess your skills. I’ll adapt the lesson to you, at your own pace, so you feel safe and confident. Need a different time? Message me and I’ll see what I can do!

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.
