Devonne
Devonne has been teaching swimming lessons for over 15 years and is one of the creators of Water Waves. Her background as a Behaviour Interventionist combines perfectly with her swim instruction—helping swimmers of all ages, including those with different learning needs, build skills with patience, structure, and confidence.
Devonne has also coached with Special Olympics and worked with the BC Autism Association, bringing a supportive, inclusive approach to every lesson.
“The best part of my job is watching a ‘can’t’ turn into ‘I did it.’”
— Devonne
JR. Instructor Sophia
We are pleased to introduce our Junior Instructor, Sophia, who will be joining our teaching team this summer. Sophia has been working closely with both Devonne and me for several years, spending the last five seasons mastering our specific coaching techniques and instructional methods at Water Waves.
She is looking forward to applying her experience in the water this upcoming season. We are confident that her background and training will be a great asset to our students.
“Every swimmer learns differently. My job is to find what works for you.”

Micaela
Micaela has been teaching swimming for 13 years, with 12 of those years right here in the Okanagan. As a co-owner of Water Waves, she’s helped shape the programs families know and trust—bringing a balance of fun, motivation, and real skill-building to every lesson.
With advanced training as a Trainor Lifeguard and Swim Instructor, Micaela holds a high standard for safety while keeping lessons warm, encouraging, and confidence-focused. She’s also passionate about mentoring local youth who want to become future swim instructors and lifeguards, helping them grow into strong leaders on deck and in the water.
“You’re never too old to learn to swim—and you’re never alone while learning with us.”
— Micaela
