Riya was absolutely amazing with both my children. She has a very calm composure and made them feel at ease since lesson 1 They have progressed a lot in just a few lessons. If you have children who have a fear associated with swimming, I highly recommend Riya!

Riya is exceptionally good as a coach. I and my daughter both are getting swimming lessons from her. She is very patient and very encouraging. Thank you Riya. Looking forward to continuing working with you❤️

Was my daughter’s first time in lessons when starting with Riya. Riya is a mix of structured, firm and kind- a good combination. My daughter likes Riya and has shown so much progress in a short amount of time. Her confidence has grown a lot.

Both my kids and I loved Riya's intensity that was evenly balanced with her gentle explanations and instructions. Riya is an awesome instructor!

About Riya S.

I'm in my seventh year of coaching water safety. I've worked in large community pools with classes of six or more, as well as in private one-on-one lesson settings.

Teaching philosophy

My teaching style adapts to work with everyone, whether you're just starting out and learning the fundamentals or looking to perfect the fine details in your strokes. I've worked in both large community pool group classes and intimate private lesson settings, so I know how to adjust to what each swimmer needs.
