Our Story & Mission
Formation Swim School is a locally owned and community-focused swim school that provides high-quality private, semi-private, and group lessons to swimmers of all ages and abilities in Winnipeg. Jagdeep, our head coach, has years of experience in teaching swimming and lifesaving courses, facilitating a friendly, welcoming, and enthusiastic environment, making every lesson safe, enjoyable, and effective! Whether you're just getting started, building confidence in the water, or looking to improve advanced skills.
We believe that each swimmer learns differently. That's why we tailor our instruction to your specific goals, background, and comfort level. Our mission is simple: to make every swimmer feel strong, supported, and capable in the water, while also making each lesson enjoyable. We're here to help you or your child learn lifesaving skills and develop a lifelong love of swimming, one stroke at a time.
“Growing up, my family hadn’t put much emphasis on swimming lessons. I didn't realize how important they were until my younger cousin nearly drowned in a wave pool at an amusement park in the States. That moment of panic and powerlessness stuck with me and dramatically altered my viewpoint. It's why I became a swim instructor and lifeguard: I didn't want anyone else in my community to feel weak around water as I did. Swimming is more than simply a talent; it provides confidence, safety, and peace of mind to every family. That is what I hope to share with you via Formation Swim School.”
