About Anna
First thing first, i did my 5 years of highschool in swimming "Sport-étude" program, swimming 6km/day, 6 times/week. So i know all the swimming styles (crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, treading water). With all that km of swimming done i have another level of understanding all the technique aspect for every style compare to most swimming instructor without a competitive background. I'm easily able to spot what are the aspects you would need to correct in your swimming technique.
Also i have my Red Cross swimming instructor and lifeguard certification since 2009. For 5 years, i gave swimming lessons to 700 children of all ages and levels.
I gave private lessons in 2019, i helped many adults and children learning swimming and i'm really excited to start again helping people learning that fantastic and complicated sport. The most complicated sport to learn i would say because you have to exhale in a different environment than the air and you have to breath with water really close and even a bit inside your mouth.
I know learning swimming as a child or an adult can be intimidating, so i try my best to make it as fun as possible, i'm really easy to talk to. I'm also really determined and straighforward person, so i will tell you what i recommend for you to acheive your swimming goals. Personalized trainings are included and it is strongly recommended to practice between the classes. I will never sell you dreams about learning swimming, i have to say with my experience as a swimming teacher, that for adult, it's even more difficult, like learning a new language. Be ready that it is a long journey, you need to be patient, determined and practice 2-3 times/week doing your custom training that i would make sure you are confortable with.

If you want to be confortable swimming in the sea or lakes without touching the ground, let's say on your next vacation trip... and you just want to learn it in a survival aspect, i will focus on teaching you breaststroke (frog swimming). With that swimming style, less cardio than the crawl, it's a good survival swimming style to learn, you can easily swim head up to see in front of you, where you are going, talking to people around you, drinking your cocktail (little joke here hihi). Also the legs movement of breastroke is the same for one of the technique for treading water, the most important survival swimming skill. I will show you that one first and then i can show you the lifeguard way.
If you already have some basics in swimming and want to improve your swimming style like the crawl, the breathing on the side is one if the biggest challenge of most people. I have some swimming tools and exercices to correct that. But i always say more you swim, more some details will correct by themself. Also most people learn to swim with the Red-Cross classes, and the crawl technique taught is not efficient, i know that because loving swimming so much and kids, obvioulsy i wanted to do a related student work, so i was a Red-Cross instructor for 5 years and i had to learn crawl in a way i didn't respect. Other than that the Red-Cross instructors/program is really good and i learn how to give classes to 10 kids groups, make swimming fun to learn by having a different theme every week and be sure to assure their safety. So in my private lesson, you will learn the crawl i a "competitive" way (don't be scare it's not harder), you will learn to do a complete catch (traction) in the water with your arms and when you pull out your arms from the water the elbow doesn't bend, it's more a half circle movement in the recovery phase, your elbow will bend but at a different moment.
If you have children and want them to learn swimming, my experience with my background in a competitive club and my teaching experience with the Red-Cross teaching approxymatly 700 children and writting custom messages with beautiful stickers at each end of swimming semester to mention if the children passed the level and their strengths and weaknesses. I also did tutoring during 3 years as a second job while i started my professionnal and actual job. I helped children/teenagers of elementary and highschool level in many subjects, mathematic, sciences and french. With all my experience with children and my love to be around them, i can say it's easy for me to connect with them, and i'm able to be as funny as strict when it's needed.
If you are an intermediate to advanced swimmer and want to improve your swimming speed and technique, i will provide custom trainings and show you how to train with intervals to the point you will be able to do your own training! I'm also open to create a training group that i would supervise and for a cheap price.
