Meet the Instructor
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!

“Rian was an excellent swim instructor who made every lesson engaging and fun. My daughter absolutely loved her time in the pool with him. He did a great job incorporating games and her personal interests while still focusing on essential skills and techniques. Swimming is such an important life skill, and it gave us real peace of mind to see her becoming more capable and comfortable in the water. The individual lessons helped her improve quickly, and it was amazing to watch her confidence grow with each session. We’re really looking forward to continuing with Rian again this year!”
