Welcome!

My name is Renate Terpstra and I am a professional swim coach and my passion is to help others learn and improve their swimming skills and technique. I am a trained Senior Coach (level 3) and I love to teach you (or your child) how to become a better, faster and more efficient swimmer. One-on-one coaching generates spectacular results. Whether you are training for a triathlon or just want to learn a better swimming technique, I invite you to get in touch with me. You can also book your coaching session online (see below).

Swimmers with a disability – Open for registration!

The coaching of people with a physical disability is very rewarding to me. I am currently coaching young people with a physical disability and, together with the Vernon Recreation Centre, we have created the Okanagan Para Swimming program. This is an incredible opportunity to learn better swimming in a safe and professional environment, develop your body in your own unique way and learn to build more self-esteem and have fun together.
More about the Okanagan Para Swimming program can be found here and please do get in touch with myself or the Vernon Recreation Centre.
