Edward is extremely knowledgeable and flexible with his training style. He took time to adapt the training to suit my level of comfort and made it a great experience with a lot of progress. Highly recommended!

About Edward L.

I've taught swimming since 2019, currently instructing and lifeguarding at UofT and coaching its Masters and Tri Club. As a former competitive swimmer (since 2011) and water polo player, I love helping people of all ages build skill and confidence in the water, from first-time beginners to athletes preparing to compete.

Teaching philosophy

Every lesson starts by getting clear on your goals. I pinpoint the root cause of what's holding you back, then build from a solid base through steady progressions grounded in proven curriculum and science. I'm direct with feedback but always encouraging, making sure you're aware of your own progress.

A typical first lesson

The first lesson is mostly about getting to know you. We'll talk through your goals, then I'll watch you swim to spot the root cause of what to work on. From there we set a comfortable baseline and start building with small progressions. Expect direct, encouraging feedback, and expect to have fun while we're at it!
