TEACHING HERE IS DIFFERENT At most swim schools, you are one instructor in a row of lanes, teaching group lessons on a fixed rotation. At The Aqua Life Swim Academy Kanata our lessons are exclusively private and semi-private. You know which child needs encouragement and which one needs a challenge. That is the kind of teaching that stays with you.
The Aqua Life Swim Academy is a boutique private swim school with locations across Ottawa. We teach children and adults how to swim in a high-quality, personal environment. Our mission is to educate and motivate individuals to be safer in and around the water and to inspire a lifelong love of swimming.
