Part 2/2 of introducing our SWAMtastic instructors!

🐬Isabel: I love finding new games to play in the pool, and I can’t wait to have fun with the SWAM students this year! I’m a new instructor with SWAM, but have taught swim and ski lessons for years in my hometown of Courtice. A fun fact about me is that I love running, and am about to run my third half marathon!

🐬Reshmika: This is my first year as a SWAM instructor, and I’m excited to meet the kids and have fun in the pool! I love playing sports, especially volleyball and badminton, traveling, and going out with my friends!

🐬Talia: Excited to be back — every lesson the kids teach me as much as I teach them… at this point I’m basically enrolled in Paw Patrol 1X03

🐬Ida: Hi SWAMily 🩵🩵 I’m so excited to be back for another year of fun, learning, and swimming!! I love traveling, being active outdoors (especially with my dog 🫶) and spending time with friends :) I can’t wait to see everyone back in the pool!!

🐬Daniel: Hi everyone! My name is Daniel and I’m so excited to be joining the SWAMily this year! I love reading, acting, spending time outdoors, and—most importantly—swimming. Back home, I work as a lifeguard & swimming instructor with the City of Mississauga aquatics program. See you in the pool!

🐬Thomas: A returning instructor back for my second session of SWAM. Excited to get back into the water and see the smiles and progress our swimmers can make!

🐬Rachel: This is my first year at SWAM and I am super excited to meet all the kids and get back to teaching again!

🐬Cass: I’m excited to work with the kids and team again this year! I loved being a part of SWAM last year and I’m excited to do it again :) I’m originally from BC and I’ve been swimming since I was 4 years old!
