Artquaswim is led by Principal and Head Coach Juliana Wan, a former National Champion with over 25 years of coaching experience. As a certified NCCP coach and BC provincial artistic swimming judge, Juliana personally developed the Artquaswim methodology in alignment with the Lifesaving Society of Canada — delivering a structured, nationally recognized approach that prioritizes safety, technical excellence, and long-term swimmer development.

Juliana’s leadership remains deeply hands-on. She actively oversees programming and mentors every instructor to ensure the highest teaching standards are delivered in a safe, supportive, and professional environment. All Artquaswim coaches hold recognized Canadian certifications, including National Lifeguard qualifications, giving families confidence that their children are always learning under expert guidance.

We recognize that beginning swim lessons can feel overwhelming for some children. Our coaching team is specially trained to support young swimmers with patience, encouragement, and proven trust-building techniques — helping them develop comfort, confidence, and independence in the water.

With a strong emphasis on proper technique, we focus on building correct muscle memory from the very beginning. Establishing these fundamentals early creates a powerful foundation for lifelong water safety and future athletic growth.

At Artquaswim, we do more than teach swimming — we develop confident, capable swimmers for life.
