About Teyah R.
I'm a passionate swim instructor with over seven years of experience with the City of Surrey, teaching swimmers of all ages and abilities from children to adults. I hold an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and am currently a medical student, which has deepened my understanding of human movement, learning, and individual health needs.
Teaching philosophy
My teaching style is energetic, creative, patient, and supportive. I recognize that every swimmer learns differently and comes with their own comfort level, learning style, and physical abilities. I strive to create lessons that are engaging, adaptable, and individualized so each student can progress at their own pace while feeling successful

Life after lessons
A typical first lesson

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.
