Hi! My name is Maria, I am a former competitive swimmer of 14 years who has been teaching for 5 already! I have taught children of all abilities and ages and have also worked with children with physical and mental remarkability as a senior instructor at St. Albans Boys and Girls Club in Toronto. I also have experience and accomplishments in teaching adult lessons and have been a member of the Red Cross program of 7 years. I have experience teaching children and teens in competitive swimming teams which gives me a better acknowledgment of the different swimming strokes. Sharing my love for swimming has made me a dedicated and ambitious person that is devoted on making sure that the swimmer understands and learns with pleasure! Teaching private lessons helps me understand the specific needs of each swimmer. I love to give lots of informative and helpful feed-back from each fun, energetic lesson! If you have any questions, please let me know in the notes when you book each lesson. I can't wait to meet and help you with your swimming aims!

I cannot recommend Maria highly enough! She has been teaching my daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, for a month now, and the progress she has made is incredible. Maria is incredibly patient and understanding, always adapting her teaching style to fit my daughter’s needs. She uses clear, simple instructions and incorporate visual aids, which really helps my daughter grasp the concepts. I’ve noticed how they provide positive reinforcement, celebrating even the smallest achievements, which has boosted my daughter's confidence immensely. The environment is always safe and supportive, making my daughter feel comfortable in the water. She looks forward to her lessons! If you’re looking for a skilled and compassionate instructor, Maria is definitely the right choice.
