Instructor Bio

Hi there! I'm Lachlan, a 16-year-old competitive swimmer, coach, and your guide to building confidence in the water!

Swimming has been my passion since I've entered the water.  Competing at the provincial level has taught me dedication, technique, and the joy of mastering a skill.

But more than that, I'm passionate about sharing my love for swimming with others. As a certified Canadian swimming coach, I'm equipped to help kids of all ages, from beginners to those wanting to improve their stroke to older swimmers working to perfect their technique, but most importantly to feel safe and confident in the water.
