SwimSwim lessons with Jackson J.

My name is Jackson! I'm finishing up my Bachelors of Science at University of Toronto and am enthusiastic about working in the medical field. I've been working as a municipal lifeguard and instructor for over five years, and have all my National Lifeguard, Lifesaving Instructor, and Swim Instructor certifications. I've completed my Emergency Medical Responder course and am looking to give back by teaching and developing the fundamental first aid skills necessary to be safe not only in the water, but in the community too. With years of lifeguarding and instructing experience, I have taught many students from a variety of levels and age groups. I love being a mentor and be one of the first instructors to develop the student's fundamental life saving skill. With my patience and ability to work step by step to strengthen the students' confidence and skillset, it's very accomplishing to see them through all the way to the end and watch them progress through the different stages. I always try to make my students feel comfortable and allow them to gain new experiences in a safe manner with the proper guidance and support. I've been a student before as well, and understand what it feels like to learn a new skill for the first time in a new environment with a new instructor. It's my ultimate goal to provide the tools for my students to succeed and allow them to expand their comfort zone and demonstrate how to swim safely and efficiently.
