Hi, I’m Rian — the face behind Wilson’s Waves!

I’m a certified lifeguard and swim instructor with years of experience teaching hundreds of kids how to swim safely, confidently, and with a smile. I’ve responded to emergencies, saved lives, and earned consistent praise for my ability to keep lessons fun, engaging, and highly effective.

What really sets my lessons apart is the energy I bring to the pool. I’m outgoing, positive, and passionate about helping kids thrive in the water. My goal is always to make swim lessons something kids genuinely look forward to - fun, rewarding, and the best part of their day!

Outside of teaching, I’m currently in my second year as a student-athlete at the University of British Columbia, where I balance competitive training with academic life.

I can't wait to help your swimmer build confidence, have fun, and make waves this summer!
