I recently had a lesson with Tony. I hadn't been swimming for years and felt uncomfortable even being in a pool. Tony made the whole experience absolutely amazing and was patient in the process. Fantastic experience and will be coming back for more lessons.

My five-year-old boy had his first swimming lesson with Tony and he loved it. Tony was really patient and supportive especially when my boy was a bit scared at the beginning . We’re so happy to have Tony as our swimming instructor.

Tony was great. The lesson was much more detailed and focus on learning the skill of swimming instead of just treading water in the pool. He was direct and clear instruction for the kids. Looking forward to the next lesson.

My 3 and 5 year olds had their first swimming lesson with Tony. His ability to create a comfortable and supportive environment for my kids is truly remarkable! His patience was unwavering. He gave positive reinforcement throughout the entire time. He made a warm connection with my kids through games to ease their fear of water and instilled confidence in them to keep trying. I can see Tony’s genuine passion and compassion in teaching kids to learn such an essential skill. I also really appreciate that he can speak Mandarin to my 3 year old to make him feel more at home. We’re so happy to have Tony as our swimming instructor and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a positive experience!

My two boys aged 14 and 9 responded to Tony immediately and with enthusiasm. He approached them in a warm, engaging and energetic way. Tony encouraged them to do their best, and they responded. I saw improvements in their first lesson! Tony accurately assessed their needs, pinpointed problems in technique and applied his teaching methods to help them understand their individual learning challenges. We have booked more lessons with Tony and are excited to see their progress with this amazing instructor!

Tony is an excellent instructor. He was very patient, and thorough with my kids. My kids enjoyed the session and we will book it again. I highly recommend Tony.

About Tony H.

I have spent over 5 years teaching swim lessons for the city of Burnaby. I have had experience with infants who are only a few months old, toddlers, children, teens, and adults. Everyone I have dealt with privately has shown to have massive improvements and I will make sure you will get the best service there is. I have also been a part of the Vancouver Autism Network where I have had experience with children and teen who are on the spectrum. I have developed such amazing relationships with them and I love having a huge impact on my community. I have also had 3 years of coaching experience in basketball and volleyball for high school players. I am also a lifeguard with a bachelors of science degree and kinesiology so health and fitness is a huge passion for me. I hope you guys would consider selecting me as your instructor and I cannot wait to get in the water with you!
