PAOLA

Hi!  I am a grade 12 French Immersion student  in Aurora. In 2023, with the help of my parents, I co-founded Swimsmart Academy. Last year, lessons were only open to family and close friends to see how it would go and it went great. This summer, I am excited to provide a fun and safe environment for swimming lessons for many more students that want to improve their water skills and abilities.


My credentials expand beyond fully certified Lifeguard and Swim Instructor and include Aurora Football Club OPDL U17G player and a certified Northern Karate Junior Black Belt.  I have gained a lot of experience volunteering as a coach for kids of all ages both in the AFC and Royal City Soccer Camps and as a french camp counselor at Camp Tournesol.


I’m looking forward to helping your kids gain confidence, learning and improving skills in the water while staying safe and having fun! I can't wait to teach lessons again this summer!
