I grew up on the Sunshine Coast and studied Outdoor Recreation Management at Capilano University. Kayaking and swimming by the water are my favorite outdoor activities. I have a wide range of work experience, but instructing is what I enjoy the most. Seeing people overcome their doubts and fears to improve is one of the main reasons I love instructing. In addition, I am scuba certified so I can help practice the skills needed for PADI and SSI courses. My first instructing role I had was helping mentor karate at my hometown’s local Dojo in Roberts Creek. I have been teaching swimming lessons, first aid, and introductory lifeguard courses for the past eight years. My teaching experience extends to a diverse range of students, from adults to toddlers. Additionally, I have taught adapted programs through the YMCA summer camp and swimming lessons. Furthermore, I am vaccinated.

Perfect instructor for my son
My son is very difficult to teach because he likes to talk a lot & procrastinate. Lazar has been the only instructor that’s been able to nip that in the bud right away & consistently get my son swimming 50-55 min out of a 60 minute swim session. We are super happy with his teaching methods and will continue to hire him in the future.
