Hi, I’m Tristan!
​
I’m a lifeguard and swim instructor with nearly 10 years of experience teaching swimming lessons to people of all ages and abilities. My love for swimming began at a young age, and over the years, I’ve developed a passion for sharing my knowledge and skills with others to help them feel confident and safe in the water.
​
I started AquaNauts Swim Academy on Vancouver Island to create a swim school that blends high-quality, personalized instruction with the spirit of adventure and exploration. Inspired by the limitless possibilities of both water and space, our mission is to empower swimmers of all ages to build water confidence, master safety skills, and embark on their own journey of discovery—whether it’s taking their first plunge into the water or striving for advanced goals.
​
I started my coaching journey 10 years ago by coaching athletes through the Special Olympics swim program, where I’ve witnessed the transformative power of swimming. It’s remarkable to see how this life-saving skill builds confidence, improves physical fitness, and helps athletes achieve their dreams. This experience helps fuel my commitment to making AquaNauts a place where every swimmer is supported, encouraged, and inspired to explore their full potential.
I aim to combine foundational swim lessons with infant survival rescue techniques. Watching little explorers not only discover the joy of swimming but also learn to stay safe and begin self-rescue is one of the most rewarding aspects of what I do. My goal is to create a fun, patient, and positive learning environment where swimmers of all ages feel motivated, comfortable, and ready to achieve the extraordinary!
​
Swimming is more than a skill—it’s a gateway to health, safety, and boundless possibilities. At AquaNauts Swim Academy, we believe every swimmer is on a mission of growth and discovery. Together, let’s dive into confidence, master the depths, and reach for the stars!
​
Happy Swimming!
-Tristan

Tristan was amazing with my boys who are on the autism spectrum. He showed patience and was able to be flexible with their needs during their lessons. We look forward to working with him again in the future. Highly recommend!
Tristan is an excellent swimming instructor! He is kind, patient, and effective. He pushed Danika out of her comfort zone and she has gained more confidence being in the water. She is now excited to go to swimming lessons!
