PRIVATE SWIM LESSONS FOR ADULTS & KIDS (Toronto) - Indoor heated 25 metre pool - travel to surrounding areas

Jayne has been a fantastic instructor providing lots of training tips and helping my son to prepare for his National Lifeguard exam in a very short time. She was able to design a training program based on his desired results. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate and qualified instructor. Highly recommended!

Thank you!

I cannot say enough good things about Jayne. We contacted Jayne asking for help for my teenage daughter who was struggling to pass the timed swim portion of the NLS testing. In 5 days, Jayne taught my daughter how to streamline her stroke, improve her technique and breathing, and how to strategize pace. With Jayne’s expertise at coaching and her kind and encouraging demeanor, my daughter reduced her time by 1:23 in 5 days!!! Jayne is a talented swim instructor and a wonderful person. I HIGHLY recommend!

About a month before our son turned 15, we found out, from our son’s best friend, that the age for lifeguard certification was reduced to 15y old. We speedily signed him up for the combo bronze cross/medallion and NLS courses. Since it had been 7+ years since he had taken swim lessons and 2+ years since he had done serious training, we knew we needed help and fast. Finding Jayne was the best thing ever! She knew exactly what they needed to know and do to pass their NLS courses. She had our son and his friend do the timed swims and underwater swims many times and gave them lots of suggestions to improve their form and distance underwater as well as improve their eggbeater for stamina and strength. She had them practise their object recovery test with heavier dumbells than those on their test. She ran the submerge victim rescue and tow and under water search swim tests repeatedly. When they weren’t actively swimming they were on the poolside running through first aid scenarios. Jayne knew it all and taught it to them in a way that made sense – so that it wasn’t pure memory. As a result, our son passed his bronze and NLS courses with ease, reducing his 400m swim time by an incredible 1 min and 10 seconds after just 2 lessons with Jayne! During his in-class NLS courses, despite being the youngest, his classmates wanted to be in his group because he was able to confidently walk through any scenario given to him by the teacher.

As a teacher myself, I was SO impressed by Jayne’s hands-on approach. She worked very hard with them, pacing up and down the poolside with a stopwatch, continually encouraging and giving suggestions to them, and working overtime with them on many occasions. She was fully invested in them passing their courses. Our (parent-teacher) text messages are plentiful and lengthy. We discussed everything from how to make sure the swim cap and goggles don’t slip off to head/body positioning in the water, using rotational momentum with a strong core to increase stroke distance, catching water, full arm extension, breathing pattern, kicking rhythm…

The difference in our son’s confidence as he progressed through these handful of classes that he had with Jayne, was truly remarkable. After each lesson he’d enthusiastically (and boastfully) tell me about his gains and his improving swim times…and then he’d need to sleep deeply because the lesson was fun, but gruelling.

Wanting to take advantage of this great “find” of a teacher, we enrolled our boys in the swim instructor course as well. Jayne was able to give them lots of suggestions on how to teach different strokes to learner swimmers. Our son initally wanted to be a lifeguard, but it turns out that instructors get paid a bit more. He turned 15y old less than two months ago, submitted his resume a few weeks after his birthday, and got calls one day after posting his resume. There are SO many jobs for lifeguards and even more jobs for lifeguards that can also instruct. He had his pick of location and got a job a 2 min walk from home. His interview was essentially a scheduling meeting and he got his first direct deposit paycheque a few days ago. We’re SO proud of him -- and SO very very grateful to Jayne. With her enthusiasm and desire to see her charges succeed, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was running her own school of instructors in short order.

Jayne goes above and beyond in her training sessions. Our son has taken multiple classes on the path to becoming a swimming instructor and Jayne’s work with him has been the most helpful, the most engaging, and the most useful. She is supportive, clear, and knowledgeable and she holds students to standards that challenge them in ways they respond to. I am an educator and I deeply admire her instruction techniques. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I've had the pleasure of working with Jayne for a few sessions now, and it's been a fantastic experience. Having tried both group and private lessons before, I was accustomed to rushed, disorganized sessions with generalized feedback. However, Jayne stood out by taking the time to fully understand my goals and past experiences before our first session, which made it incredibly productive.

My aim was to enhance my comfort in the water while refining my technique, and Jayne's patient and personalized approach has already led to significant progress. They possess an impressive depth of knowledge and are diligent in identifying technical issues, while offering actionable feedback to make adjustments. Instead of rushing, Jayne takes the time to ensure things are done right, making each lesson thoroughly enjoyable.

I highly recommend Jayne to anyone looking to improve their swimming ability!

Jayne's guidance has been truly transformative. At 40 years old, with no swimming experience and a fear of water, I embarked on a challenging journey. Jayne's patience, tailored instruction, and encouragement helped me progress from a hesitant beginner to someone who now feels comfortable swimming in large bodies of water. Her dedication to her students is evident in every lesson, and I'm grateful for her support. Thanks to Jayne, I've not only learned to swim but also gained confidence and freedom in the water. She's more than a swim instructor; she's an inspiring mentor, and I'm thankful for her guidance.

Amazing learning experience! She has an exceptional, unique approach to make learning fun and easy. Her expertise and encouragement helped me progress quickly. She is very patient, friendly and ofcouse highly skilled in swimming. Best swimming instructor one can have. If you zero hope of swimming, only person who can still teach you is Jayne....

Jayne was prompt in her response, very professional and did an amazing job training my 15 year old daughter in swim techniques she was unable to pick up in group sessions.

Jayne's 1x1 diligent coaching and skillfully ess paid off!

Thanks Jayne!
