At Making Waves Swimming Co., our teaching philosophy is centred around building strong technique, confidence, and a love for swimming in a supportive and personalized environment. Our names are Jada and Kayden, two certified Swimming Instructors and National Lifeguards, and 10 years of competitive swimming experience with the Kingston Sharks Swim Club. Now entering our fourth year teaching lessons since starting our business in 2023, we bring both experience and passion to every session!
While we are very familiar with structured programs, we take a more flexible approach by meeting each child where they are at rather than moving them through specific levels. We still cover all the same fundamental skills like floats, glides, submersions, strokes, treading water, and kicks, but with a strong emphasis on technique and skill development. Progress and improvement seen over the summer is very comparable or excels traditional programs. Because we don’t follow a strict curriculum, we are able to fully tailor each lesson to your child’s individual needs and goals.
Our backyard pool setting creates a calm, private environment that families really appreciate. Surrounded by nature, it helps limit distractions and allows for more focused, one-on-one instruction, making lessons especially effective and comfortable for swimmers of all levels. We love sharing our knowledge and creating a positive, enjoyable space where swimmers can grow both their skills and confidence in the water.

"We have been very impressed by the professionalism and quality of the lessons. All 3 children improved considerably in just two weeks. Moreover, they are inspired and confident to practice what Kayden teaches them in their own time. We will be coming back"

"This was the perfect setting to work on developing skills and trying new things. Jada met my son where he was at and helped him develop some confidence in the water. I was amazed to see what he was willing to try and able to do in such a short period. We will definitely be continuing!"

"Kayden was patient and attentive with my two kids. They learned and progressed immensely, while having fun. We can't wait to see you again next year!"

"Kayden was an excellent teacher teacher. My child looked forward to each lesson. Kayden was patient, encouraging, and made each lesson fun. My child developed new skills and gained confidence in the water!"

"Excellent experience all around! Jada, my kids adored you and you managed to build back my daughter's confidence after a fairly disastrous experience in the spring. The 1-1 was so worth the cost. I really appreciated the positive approach and the fun, but also that you actually worked to get her to learn and improve. The constant corrections and support to improve was really critical, especially as she works to learn skills and strokes. We saw significant improvements in both kids!"

"Our session wasn't even over and my kids were talking about what they plan on learning with Jada next year."
