Meet Glenn
Hi, I'm Glenn! I've worked in aquatics for over 16 years as a lifeguard and swim instructor across Vancouver Island.
I’ve taught swimmers of all ages and abilities, including people with physical and learning challenges. That experience has taught me that progress often begins with finding the specific barrier that group lessons often miss.
My approach is personal, practical, encouraging, and fun. Lessons are adapted to the swimmer and focus on achievable improvements to build skills and confidence.
