Hi, I’m Catherine,

I’ve been involved in aquatics for over 30 years, starting from swim club as a child all the way to managing pools and training new instructors. For almost 20 years, I’ve been a certified Lifesaving Instructor Trainer and Swim Instructor Trainer, and I’ve had the privilege of certifying hundreds of instructors throughout my career.

While I enjoy teaching all types of classes, my true passion is working one-on-one with swimmers. I love getting to know each person individually, understanding how they learn, and building the trust and confidence that help them thrive in the water.

Over the years, I’ve taught swimmers of all ages and abilities — from young children to older adults, individuals with autism and neurodiverse needs, and even specialized training for those pursuing aquatic employment or certifications.

Living on Vancouver Island, I truly believe that everyone should know how to swim and feel comfortable around the water. My goal is to make every lesson a positive, rewarding experience that helps each swimmer develop skills they’ll carry for life.

I look forward to working with you or your loved ones and being part of your aquatic journey!

Catherine
