Hi, I’m Desmond. I’ve been lifeguarding for the past three years and have my National Lifeguard, First Aid with CPR-C, and Swim Instructor certifications.

Outside of swimming, I play and coach volleyball so I’m good at giving clear feedback and keeping people engaged. A fun fact about me is that I’ll be moving to Halifax soon for school and to get more into watersports.
