About Leigham M.

I've been a lifeguard for 5 years and have taught swimming lessons for 5 years with NVRC. I work with swimmers of all ages, helping them build confidence, improve technique, and feel safe in the water. Swimming is a vital life skill, and I love helping people become stronger, safer, and more confident.

Teaching philosophy

My lessons are patient, encouraging, and tailored to each swimmer. I break skills into simple steps so students can learn at their own pace while building confidence along the way. I aim to create a positive, supportive environment where swimmers improve while having fun.

A typical first lesson

During our first lesson, we’ll start by talking about your goals and what you’d like to achieve, whether building confidence in the water, improving technique, or learning new skills. I’ll then do a quick swim assessment and create a lesson plan tailored to your needs. My lessons are supportive, engaging, and fun to help you improve each session.
