Introduction
$150 per hour lesson I teach/train: Infants, Children, Teens & Adults Beginner, Intermediate, Experts Military, SWAT, Coast Guard Triathletes Lifeguards Hello! I’m Coach Eugene and I am a professional swim coach 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, on stage & 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. And it’s the best exercise for your body. 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.

While Coach Eugene’s lessons can be demanding, it's clear the kids are learning a lot. I've seen a significant improvement in my child's swimming skills since starting with Coach Eugene.

Eugene is an excellent coach. He taught my son how to swim very well in our 9 foot deep pool within a week. He’s very professional, highly-skilled, very personable and caring. He also goes beyond the swimming lesson to coach my son on general athleticism and guiding him on how the swimming instructions or activities tie into helping with other sports. We really like Eugene and highly recommend him!

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • No experience • Not comfortable in water • Become more comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Yes, a pool at my home • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Coach Eugene’s friendly demeanor, patience and extensive knowledge of swimming make him a great teacher. I noticed progress in my 4 year old’s swimming after just a few lessons. He is effective at communicating the finer points of technique while still keeping the lessons fun and engaging.

The actual swim lessons were engaging, and Coach Eugene made me feel comfortable and confident in the water. His teaching style was clear and encouraging, making the whole experience enjoyable. I’m excited to continue with more lessons in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their swimming skills!
