Certified swim instructor, 7+ years experience; NL, WSI, LSI, EFA, SFA/CPR-C; adapted needs specialist; best for short-term or level-up
I hold a Bachelor of Physical Education and Coaching from Douglas College and am certified in NL, WSI, LSI, EFA, SFA, and CPR-C. I've been a swim instructor for over 7 years and a coach in multiple other sports for over 10. I was a Lifeguard/Instructor with the City of Burnaby for 6 years and in my regular M-F I work for Special Olympics BC!
I recognize that everyone has a unique learning style, so I actively observe and talk with each swimmer to figure out what works best for them. I incorporate visual, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches in every lesson. I try to be intentional — listening actively, choosing words carefully, and giving feedback that is well thought out.
