Hi! My name is Adam D, 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! My name is Kevin, and I’m a swimming instructor. My passion for swimming began at a very young age. I’ve always been drawn to the water, whether it was spending my summers at the pool or constantly striving to improve my skills. Swimming quickly became more than just a sport for me; it was a true passion. As I grew up, I realized that sharing this passion and helping others learn to swim was just as rewarding as swimming myself. Since becoming an instructor, I’ve had the opportunity to support students of all ages in their learning, helping them gain confidence and develop true ease in the water. Being part of the MIS team is an incredible experience, surrounded by passionate instructors, coaches, and mentors who share the same values and commitment to teaching swimming. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, staying active, and always seeking to grow both personally and professionally. I also enjoy traveling and visiting new attractions. Swimming has taught me discipline, perseverance, and the importance of maintaining a positive attitude—values I strive to instill in each of my students.

Hi! My name is Lucas and I’m looking forward to being your child’s swim instructor! I’m currently an Education student but my passion for swimming and teaching started in the seventh grade when I started participating in my school’s swim team and began going to summer camp. Although I no longer am part of a swim team I still count swimming for fun and for exercise among my favourite past times and continue to work children in my roles as a camp counsellor and ski instructor. Swimming proficiency has opened up many opportunities for me over the years including this job and I hope to do my part in fostering a love of swimming for fun exercise and work in others.

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!
