About Us
Aqualife has been operating backyard swimming lessons in Southwest Aurora in the Muxlow’s backyard pool since 2020. We offer private and semi-private swimming instruction for children of all ages and our lessons are designed to build water safety, confidence, and swimming skills in a safe and supportive environment. Our instructors are fully certified and have years of experience teaching swimming.
Benefits:
▪ We only offer private and semi-private lessons to facilitate learning; students progress much faster with one-on-one or two-on-one instruction
▪ Classes are personalized and focused on both skill development and having fun.
▪ We follow the Lifesaving Society of Canada program (starting at Preschool 1 and going up to Star Patrol) with over 90% of students passing at least 1 level per two week session.
▪ Parents are able to watch the lessons pool-side in a relaxing, backyard environment.
Meet our Instructors
Our instructors are fully certified in instructing, lifeguarding, CPR, and first aid and have a passion for working with kids. Our customized approach emphasizes safety, skill-building, and helping each swimmer reach their full potential. We are fully certified and follow the Lifesaving Society of Canada program, providing report cards (and stickers/badges when levels are achieved) on the last day of each 2 week session.
