Meet your instructor
Hi, I'm Ibrahim. I'm a certified swim instructor and lifeguard who believes every person deserves to feel safe and confident in the water — whether that's a nervous first-timer or a swimmer polishing their stroke.
My lessons are private and one-on-one, so every minute is focused entirely on you or your child. We move at the pace that builds real skill and real confidence — never rushed, always encouraging.
What I teach
Every lesson is private and one-on-one, tailored to your goals and comfort level. I teach the full Lifesaving Society Swim for Life ladder — from Preschool 1 all the way to Swimmer 6.
Kids & Beginners
Water comfort, floating, breathing, and first strokes in a patient, encouraging setting. Great for children building confidence for the first time.
Stroke Development
Front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, and technique refinement for swimmers who want to move better and more efficiently.
Adult Lessons
Never learned, or want to get comfortable again? Private adult lessons at your own pace, without any pressure.
Water Safety
Essential safety skills and confidence for the pool, lake, and beach — taught by a working lifeguard.
