About swimwithmaya
Your Instructor
Hey there! I'm Maya, your go-to instructor for private swim lessons in Mississauga, Toronto, and surrounding areas. Whether you're dipping your toes in for the first time, fine-tuning your strokes, or diving into a new fitness adventure - I am here to help you achieve your swimming goals!
With over 14 years of experience, I've perfected the art of making a splash in the swimming world. As a certified National Lifeguard with qualifications in First Aid and CPR, I've got the safety stuff covered. Whether it's teaching little ones or grown-ups, I've had the joy of sharing my passion for swimming with all ages, helping everyone take that exciting jump into the water.
Embracing a calm and thoughtful demeanor, I prioritize creating a comfortable and attentive learning environment for my students. I take joy in connecting with each individual, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and working collaboratively to achieve their goals.
What sets me apart? It's the genuine passion for others' success and well-being that I bring to each lesson. Witnessing students finally experience that 'aha!' moment in swimming truly brightens my day. This thoughtfulness defines my instructional approach, contributing to a positive and enriching learning environment.
Away from the pool, I am a Registered Nurse focused on mental health and well-being. My journey into healthcare began after spending meaningful time with others in various capacities, including roles as a dance instructor, camp counselor and Youth Support Worker at a children’s rehabilitation hospital.

Maya was sensitive to what my son was comfortable with, and helped him get through his fear while learning the basics to getting him up to the level he needed to be at. We are SO grateful to have found Maya, we have a swimmer now!”

"Maya is an incredible instructor. I can't thank her enough for helping me overcome my fear of jumping into deep water, which had been a significant mental block for years. Her support has lifted a huge weight off my shoulders, and I am truly grateful."

Fear to confidence.
Positive, patient and experienced instructor.
Fear conquered, thanks!
"My youngest had a near drowning experience and ever since then she refused to learn how to swim. Maya’s patience got her in the water and learning how to swim. These milestones were beyond the swimming lessons. Maya built trust, an understanding, and a relationship. This helped break down the deep fears and stubbornness. Maya’s expertise in teaching swimming is the foundation of what she does but the lessons go far beyond the water.
My eldest is 9 and has always been confident in the water. Maya’s background in dance has made my daughters stroke have perfect form and look like art. Maya isn’t just teaching swimming, she teaches the right way to swim. We are so grateful we found her!"
