She improved my son's skill, and taught him a right positions. After that, my son could swim better than before.

Kelly is an amazing swim instructor, she taught both my young boys at different levels and was so accomodating and brilliant with them both. My eldest especially has improved significantly thanks to Kelly's fantastic teaching, was so lovely to see the difference! Would highly recommend her to anyone!:)

She’s always encouraging, and so patient. Despite my lagging body, she explains all those movements very easy to understand. She never misses it, ready to give you feedbacks on your posture and all. I had so much fun while actually improving myself! Thanks again and hope I get a chance to have another lesson in the future:)!

About Kelly L.

I've been involved in swimming my entire life — through swim clubs, teams, and lessons. I've always loved being in the water and helping others, which led me to become an instructor. I've worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for the City of Burnaby and hold WSI, LSI, NLS, and First Aid/CPR-C certifications.

Teaching philosophy

I adapt my teaching methods to suit all swimmers — whether they're toddlers or adults, experienced or brand new. My goal is to have participants grow increasingly comfortable in the water while working toward their personal goals. Most importantly, I create a safe space where we have fun and learn to love swimming together.
