AQUA S.T.A.R. Canada | Elite Private Swim Instructor

Emily L.
I am a dedicated swim instructor with 4.5 years of experience teaching swimming to students ranging from toddlers to seniors. My journey in aquatic education began during my competitive swimming career in middle school and has grown into a true passion for helping others develop both swimming skills and water confidence.
I hold current certifications in lifeguarding, CPR, first aid, and water safety instructor, and have experience working with diverse populations, including beginners, competitive swimmers, and individuals with special needs. My teaching background includes private lessons, group classes, and summer camps.
What I love most about teaching swimming is witnessing the transformative moment when a student overcomes their fear of water or masters a new skill they’ve been working toward. There’s something magical about watching a child take their first independent strokes or seeing an adult conquer a lifelong fear of deep water. Swimming instruction is about more than just technique; it’s about building confidence, promoting safety, and creating positive associations with physical activity that can last a lifetime.
Outside the pool, I enjoy baking, photography, and spending time in the sun. I was raised in Vancouver, and I love the summer here. I try to go out and immerse myself in the sun when I am not baking with my cat at home. I’m also passionate about youth mentorship and have volunteered with my church youth Pathfinder as a TLT (Team Leader in Training). My background in competitive swimming has provided me with a deep understanding of water dynamics and technique, which I love sharing with my students. I believe that my enthusiasm for continuous learning and personal growth helps me bring fresh energy and creativity to every lesson.
I’m excited about the opportunity to contribute to Aquastar’s mission of making swimming accessible and enjoyable for everyone in our community.
