The TEAM
Lindsey Schmidt
Owner/Instructor
My speed swimming background is what propelled me into the passion for instructing. Coaching speed swimming lead to lifeguarding, which I pursued while coaching for many years. I have been lifeguarding and instructing swimming lessons for over 10 years. My love for the water and respect for the sport has lead me to where I am today! With my years of experience influenced by different programs, I’ve developed a progression for all swimmers, that gets results in the most efficient way possible. I have discovered that the best way to get quick and lasting results in swimming is through private lessons, where the focus is 100% on the child and their specific needs. That is why I created Lifestyle Swim Lessons.

Hi, I’m Jayla! I’m currently studying Biomedical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan and plan to pursue a career in pharmacy.

Growing up, I always loved being in and around the water, and teaching swim lessons quickly became one of my favourite parts of the job. I love helping people of all ages feel confident, safe, and excited in the water. My goal is to make swimming fun, supportive, and something you look forward to every week!
Zaid Ewert
Instructor
Hello! My name is Zaid. I spent my whole life in Abbotsford, BC, and just moved to Saskatoon. I've been in and around the water my whole life, having swum competitively for 10 years. This long-term experience gave me a deep understanding of swimming fundamentals and a genuine love for the sport. For the past three years, I've been teaching swim lessons, and I've also spent two years coaching. These experiences have taught me how to work with a wide range of ages and skill levels, ensuring each student feels comfortable and confident in the water. I'm currently a student at the University of Saskatchewan studying education. I love teaching because every lesson is different and offers a new opportunity for growth.
Rowan Smith
Instructor
I have always had a love for swimming! Growing up in Lloydminster, I joined the speed swimming club at a young age. Because of that experience, it was the right fit for me to pursing lifeguarding and instructing as my part time job when I became of age to take the courses. Teaching lessons became one of my favourite ways to connect with others, which later influenced my decision to go to the University of Saskatchewan and pursue my degree in Education! Swimming has been apart of my life for over 10 years and my love for teaching has brought me to work as an instructor with the Lifestyle Swim Lessons team. I am super happy I get to continue with what I am truly passionate about!
Paige Rolles
Instructor
Hi! My name is Paige and I grew up just outside of Prince Albert, where I spent much of my time in swimming lessons and in the pool. During the summers I competed in speed swimming with the Shellbrook Silver Fins. My love for the water and aquatic environments has been a constant throughout my life. This passion led me to begin lifeguarding, eventually progressing to instructing lessons, coaching with the Prince Albert Sharks, and teaching private lessons. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping others gain confidence and skill in the water. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in Kinesiology at the University of Saskatchewan, where I continue to build on my passion for aquatics. I’m excited to keep sharing my enthusiasm for swimming and supporting others as they become more comfortable and confident in the water.
