My name is Olivia, I am the owner of Olivia&#8217;s Swim Academy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Currently, I attend A.B. Lucas Secondary School, where I&#8217;ve participated in swimming, cross-country, and track &amp; field. The past 3 years, I had the privilege of co-coaching, managing, and organizing the Lucas Swim Team. Water has always held a special place in my heart, and so does teaching. Additionally, I thoroughly enjoy working with children. With a lifelong fondness for swimming, I am thrilled about assisting more individuals in improving their swimming skills and learning how to swim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">I hold full certifications from the Red Cross and Lifesaving Society for teaching lessons.

Throughout the lesson, your swimmer will have the opportunity to concentrate on skills, technique, water comfort, and most importantly, have a great time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">These lessons follow the Lifesaving Society levels, and upon completion of your targeted level, you&#8217;ll earn a badge. If you&#8217;re uncertain about your swimmer&#8217;s level, don&#8217;t hesitate to reach out, and I&#8217;ll be happy to determine the most suitable level. Lessons take place in my backyard heated pool and are conducted privately or semi-privately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About me Hi!
