About AQUA S.T.A.R.
Building Confident Swimmers, One Stroke at a Time
We're more than a swim school — we're a community dedicated to building confidence, saving lives, and creating joyful memories in the water.
Our Story
AQUA S.T.A.R. Canada was founded with a simple yet powerful belief: every person, regardless of age or ability, deserves the chance to feel safe and confident in the water.
What started as a small passion project has grown into one of British Columbia's most trusted swim schools, serving families across the Lower Mainland with personalized, one-on-one instruction.
"We don't just teach swimming—we build confidence, foster joy, and create lasting memories in the water. Every swimmer who walks through our doors becomes part of the AQUA S.T.A.R. family."
Our name reflects our core values: AQUA represents our aquatic focus, while S.T.A.R. stands for Swimming Training Achievement Results—because every swimmer has the potential to shine.
