Hi! My name is Adam, I am the President & Founder of MIS.
My love for swimming started at a very young age .. we grew up with a pool at home and my siblings and I were always in the water. As of 9 years old every summer we were involved in the summer pool scene and this is where my passion for swimming really grew. From swim lessons to swim team water polo leadership events .. working at a pool was all I ever wanted. Since 16 I have never stopped teaching swim lessons .. and the sport swimming has taught me so much about passion positivity and hard work.
Founding the MIS has always been my greatest accomplishment and my greatest learning experience. I am grateful to be surrounded by an amazing team of instructors coaches lifeguards and teachers. I have grown as a person for the better thanks to the sport of swimming and its great community.
The most important thing to me is family and friends and keeping them as close as possible. On my off days you can find me spending time with my family and friends and being active.

Hi, I’m Ammita! Learning to swim is never the same path for each and every person. I started my classes much later than most but that only pushed me to try harder. My swimming instructors made sure I always gave it my all every class and that has stuck with me all this time. I hope to become just as great of a role model to my future students and make the most out of their classes. This is my first year teaching classes but I’ve previously worked in a summer camp with kids.

Hi there
My name is Maryam and I am incredibly passionate about teaching children the wonders of swimming!
As a swimming instructor I firmly believe that learning to swim at a young age is not only a valuable skill but also a fun and exciting adventure:) I have been working with kids in the water for 8 years and it brings me immense joy to witness their growth and progress.
My approach to teaching young swimmers revolves around creating a safe nurturing and enjoyable environment. I understand that each child is unique with their own pace of learning and individual needs. Therefore I tailor my lessons to accommodate their abilities and make sure they feel comfortable and supported every step of the way.
I can’t wait to meet your little swimmer and embark on this exciting aquatic adventure!
My name is Maryloo Hogan. I love doing sports (swimming surfing baseball judo and flag football) and I love walking my dogs in the woods. My favourite color is blue and I love animals!
The water has and will always take up such a important part of my life since I grew up spending my summers by the lake at my cottage.
I started swimming when I was two years old. I started doing swim lessons with MIS when I was 4 and stayed with that same instructor for 10 years. Now I’m a swim instructor and still carry that same lovely passion and respect for the water.
When I took MIS swimming lessons it was always the highlight of my week and my instructor had such a positive impact on me. I hope to pay in forward and have that same effect on someone else! Have a great day! I hope to see you by the pool! 🙂

I have been swimming for as long as I can remember I started by swimming every single day of the summer in my backyard to competitive swimming and high level waterpolo. Teaching kids how to swim became a big part of me because one of my baby cousins almost drowned and I made it my mission to teach them that learning how to swim saves lives. Swimming is fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My bubbly personality connects well with kids to make them open up to me. Funny enough I thought my dog how to swim and now he does laps.

Hey I’m Rachel! As a child I took swimming lessons with MIS which led me to spending my summers swimming competitively. I believe in using teaching methods that are adapted to students’ individual needs in order to increase the likelihood of them becoming competitive swimmers.

Welcome to my description page!
My name is Simon I am a passionate swimmer whose goal is to develop confidence in beginners and to sharpen the skills of ambitious swimmers. I started my journey in the water at the age of 4 in the city of Shanghai; I had an incredible coach who trained me and before I knew it I was competing. When I was 7 I moved to Canada and I joined different swim teams throughout my childhood. For me realizing my capabilities and having a great mentality were keys to becoming better at a sport like swimming and I want to help others the same way my coaches helped me. Outside of swimming I am passionate about skiing boxing and bodybuilding all of which has taught me valuable lessons about work ethic improvement and ambition. If you are interested feel free to message me here or contact me through my phone number.

Hi! I’m Zahavit. I’ve grown up in a pool environment and have always had a passion for swimming. I started swimming competitively when I was six years old and never stopped. I gained all of my lifeguard and instructor certifications as soon as I was old enough and as soon as I started teaching swimming lessons I realized how much I loved helping others gain the ability to swim. While I understand that not everyone has a passion for swimming it is an essential skill. I will make sure that everyone I teach comes away with a greater ability that they started out with. I also believe in making learning fun and I hope that everyone I teach also comes away with a little more love for swimming.
