Since 1992, Atlantis School of Swim has been helping swimmers in the Burlington, Oakville, Waterdown, Hamilton, Milton, and Mississauga areas become more confident in the water. With high-quality instruction, proven teaching methods, flexible scheduling, private classes, and experienced staff, we have earned a strong reputation in both learn-to-swim and competitive swimming.
Our staff is made up of a diverse group of passionate individuals who love working with kids and have a deep passion for swimming. Most of our employees are part-time, and when they're not teaching, they are furthering their education, working as teachers, healthcare workers, early childhood educators, national-level coaches, or caring for their own families. This diverse background enriches our classes and brings a wealth of experience to our school.
At Atlantis School of Swim, we encourage a year-round approach to swimming. Swimming for just a few weeks during the summer isn’t enough to build lasting skills. Young swimmers, or those overcoming a fear of the water, need time, consistency, and repetition to form a strong foundation. That’s why most of our clients swim once or twice a week throughout the year. This regular, relaxed exposure allows swimmers to better retain skills and progress over time. Learning a life skill like swimming requires patience, practice, and commitment—something even the best swimmers in the world know.
The Atlantis School of Swim Inc. was established in 1992 by Program Director Julyana Colangelo. After graduating from McMaster University with a degree in Kinesiology, Julyana worked in the Healthcare Industry while expanding Atlantis from a seasonal summer business to a year-round operation with multiple locations. By 2011, she retired from healthcare to focus on growing Atlantis while raising her two children. With over 25 years of experience in instructional swim and coaching, Julyana also brings expertise in Kinesiology and Biomechanics to the company.
Our team consists of dedicated and experienced instructors who hold nationally recognized qualifications. In addition to meeting provincial course requirements, all instructors undergo additional training specific to Atlantis School of Swim Inc. This ensures that you are receiving instruction from highly qualified and experienced professionals who will help you become a confident swimmer!
TESTIMONIAL: I just wanted to say thank you for the swimming lessons you have provided my daughters over the years! We came to you after being frustrated with the Community Centre classes. All I wanted was for my girls to be proficient swimmers, but they got more than that at Atlantis! They have recently started competitive swimming with Mississauga and are doing so well. I have to say quite often over the years people have commented on the girls' beautiful technique. We just wanted to say thank you so much! I will pass along the name Atlantis to anyone who asks. - Kathy
