Hello! I’m Coach Eugene and I am a professional swimmer and licensed paramedic. The water is my second home- I swim almost every day.
My lessons are a fun and entertaining hands-on class which I've developed from swimming and teaching my entire life.
Helping others is my lifelong passion. Whether it is in the back of an ambulance, in front of a camera, or in a pool. People matter and trade skills are steadily declining! It is a pleasure of mine to be able to teach any age how to swim. Infants to centennials. Swimming is a necessary skill that you will have for your entire life, no matter your physical wellbeing. The water can always be a comfort.
I also provide training such as swim clinics, coaching for competitive swimmers, open water swimming, endurance swimming for triathlons, military (Navy/SEALs, Airforce, Coast Guard, etc.) and police or SWAT aquatic test training.
"Coach Eugene, why are you more expensive than the other instructors?"
Professional lessons versus amateur lessons speak for themselves. I have been teaching for two decades and I don't just teach swimming- I am an expert swimmer. I understand the psychology behind learning to swim, which only comes from experience. I'm also nationally certified and State licensed as a paramedic. Lesson price is based on the current SoCal rates for private professional swim lessons. My lessons have been rated #1 on Thumbtack for 6 years in a row- take a look at some of my reviews.

****Cancellation Policy****
If a lesson is cancelled 24 hours or less before appointment, or a pool is too cold for lessons, a $50 fee will be charged. Giving at least 24 hours notice ensures that someone else has the opportunity to fill your slot. Pools must be around 85ºF or students must have wetsuits.
