Taryn is an outstanding swim coach: knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive. After over a year of lessons, she has proven to be a key pillar in my progressions. Her ability to demonstrate focused techniques and her structured approach to layering drills appropriate to my level were immediately apparent from day 1. Her sessions strike the right balance of structure and encouragement, and she adapts them with precision to match my pace and progress. Even recently, she corrected my side-glide body positioning and power output, which immediately improved my efficiency and overall comfort in the water. What sets Taryn apart is her consistency, attention to detail, and ability to make technical skills feel intuitive. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to build real confidence and long term skill in the water.

I learned breaststroke with Taryn, she is very friendly and patient! She showed me the move many times then I could learn how to do it in the water! Love her

I was training for a triathlon and Taryn helped me improve from beginner to intermediate in both breaststroke and front crawl in just a few weeks. She's easy going, fun and extremely knowledgeable so I highly recommend.

Taryn was so great with my 8 year old. She’s very patient, but kept him on track and made sure he was getting the strokes right. She had a great rapport and demeanour. Thanks Taryn!

Taryn is an excellent teacher and it was a gift for my daughter to have her focused attention for a full hour. Will definitely take more lessons with her!

We took total 8 private classes with Taryn. 4 for my daughter and 4 for adults. What my daughter could achieve in just 1 session was much more than what she achieved in group lessons in past 3 months. Taryn is friendly, very knowledgeable, understands your need and then plans her approach, and she makes you feel comfortable in water. I would highly recommend her, trust me, you won't regret your decision.

About Taryn L.

Hello, my name is Taryn, I have been a Lifeguard and Swim Instructor for over 13 years. I have taught lessons from adults to toddlers and all in between. My style of teaching is unique as I have not only Redcross Instructor Training, but also the YWCA swim programs training which is specific to adults. I have a variety of techniques and drills to help each individual. What makes me a great instructor is my love for teaching. Working with kids was always my passion, and now I’m enjoying teaching adults as well. I like helping people who are eager to learn, and I have gained confidence in my skills as an instructor through my experience. I look forward to meeting you!
