A little history to explain how we got here…

The MIS was unofficially founded in fall of 2004. There was one instructor: Adam Di Fulvio, 21 years young. He approached the Holiday Inn with a proposal to rent out pool space so he could teach some private lessons for his favourite clients from the summer. An agreement was reached, and Adam with his 3 original clients got to work.

Over the years, and mainly by word of mouth, few clients grew to dozens, and by 2005 more instructors were needed to shoulder the ever-increasing load of clients. After a system was established to ensure that only the best instructors earned teaching positions, hiring began.

The first prominent instructors to join the team were Kelly and Bibi. As clientele continued to grow, Kaylee was recruited, then Marc and Yan. And in summer of 2008, as the long process of legitimizing began, the official Montreal Institute of Swimming was born incorporating not only private swimming lessons but personal training as well. In 2010, another important event occurred as the inauguration of the MIS non-Competitive Swim Team took place.

What began with one instructor and 3 clients has evolved into over 20 instructors and 400 clients. And because of our rich tradition of teaching excellence the business continues to expand still.
