Sunshine
Swim
Private swim lessons taught by a certified NLS instructor in a calm, personal backyard pool. Every child seen. Every child celebrated.
About your instructor
Passionate, certified & personal
Izzy holds both a Life Saving Society Swim Instructor certification and her National Lifeguard Service (NLS) designation — meaning she brings real lifeguard-level water safety knowledge to every lesson.
Why Sunshine Swim School?
Where every child thrives in the water
"I want every child to feel safe, confident, and excited to jump in — not just to swim laps, but to love the water."
Big swim schools are busy. Classes are crowded. Kids get lost in the shuffle. Sunshine Swim School is different: lessons happen in a private backyard pool in London, Ontario, where every child gets real attention and real progress.
Whether your child is nervous about putting their face in the water, or ready to refine their stroke technique, the lessons are tailored to exactly where they are — and where they want to go.
Private one-on-one lessons are also available for children who need a little extra support, or families who simply want the most personalized experience possible.
The Sunshine Swim School difference
A truly personal swimming experience
No crowded pools. No anonymous classes. Just focused, joyful swimming lessons designed around your child.
Backyard private & small group lessons
Lessons take place at Lynhurst Outdoor Pool in St. Thomas — a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where kids feel at ease from day one.
Real individual attention
Small groups of max 4 students — or go fully private 1-on-1 for the deepest level of personalized coaching and fastest progress.
All skill levels welcome
From first splash to stroke refinement, lessons are designed to meet your child exactly where they are and build from there.
NLS-certified safety
Your instructor holds her National Lifeguard Service certification and CPR & Standard First Aid — the gold standard of water safety in Canada.
Progress you'll see
Regular feedback after every session so parents know exactly how their child is growing — and what to celebrate.
