Samantha was great with my son. He does not feel very comfortable in the water, but she was incredibly patient with him and tried many different approaches to help him feel more at ease. Despite not liking the water, he was giggling the whole time. We really appreciated her calm and supportive approach.

Sam has been fantastic at getting our 7 year old excited about swimming. She is patient and encouraging, and has made lessons something he now looks forward to.

I’ve learned the basics like blowing bubbles, proper breathing technique , step by step how to do front and back glides, kicking, and I achieved great confidence in the water because she made it enjoyable and fun. Thanks Sam!

About Samantha S.

I have over 25 years of experience in aquatics, including time on Canada's National Synchronized Swimming Team. I'm a certified Swim Instructor and National Lifeguard, and I'm also a mother of two young children, which shapes how I connect with the families and swimmers I work with.

Teaching philosophy

Being a mother of two young children has deepened my patience and given me a supportive, attentive approach to teaching. I adapt to swimmers of all ages and levels, drawing on 25+ years in and around the pool to make every lesson safe and effective.
