About Dystany S.

I'm a private swim instructor and certified lifeguard with 8+ years of experience teaching across Jamaica, Halifax, and Vancouver. I work with all ages and abilities, and I specialize in supporting individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other neurodiverse needs, as well as neurotypical swimmers.

Teaching philosophy

My approach is calm, patient, and highly adaptive. Whether a student is working to overcome a fear of water, improve stroke technique, or build strength through swim-based rehabilitation, I meet each swimmer exactly where they're at. My goal is to make the water a safe, empowering, and fun space for everyone.
