We’ve enrolled our daughter into several classes with little success. Maya earned her trust from day one and the process has been incredible.

As an adult learning to swim and overcome anxiety over being in water, Maya has been the best investment I’ve made. She’s sooo genuinely supportive, incredibly knowledgeable about swimming and really good about helping you understand the mechanics of swimming and feeling safe in the water. I’m having so much fun and making good progress! Best money spent 👏🏽

Maya was a great choice for a swim coach! She's warm, welcoming, and encouraging, and she really knows what she's talking about in the water. She helped me feel more confident in my strokes, and taught me how to practice and improve. It was well worth the time and money to book with her! Thanks Maya!

Maya is a genuinely kind, patient, gentle and emotionally intelligent person and teacher. I am an adult learner with life long crippling fear of the deep end. With Maya by my side guiding and encouraging me, I did the front craw in the “medium” deep end last week for the first time in my life! I am so thankful for all Maya’s help and support! Here’s to more deep end for me!😅

I’ve had such a great experience with Maya. The past few months I’ve learned a lot with her help, such as floating, kicking, breathing and so much more. Through her I was able to ace my front crawl which is something I’ve always had trouble with. She is extremely patient, gives good feedback and is very accommodating. I’d 100% recommend booking your swim lessons with Maya!

About Maya M.

I have 15 years of swim instruction experience and hold certifications as a lifeguard, in first aid, and CPR. I'm a Registered Nurse currently working at CAMH, with previous experience at SickKids Hospital. I've also worked as a dance instructor, camp counsellor, and youth support worker at Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital.

Teaching philosophy

I pride myself on my calm and thoughtful demeanour. I make sure my students feel comfortable and listened to during every lesson. I connect with students to understand both their strengths and weaknesses and work toward their goals together. I believe swimming builds not just a life skill but also confidence and self-esteem.
