If you want your kids to actually learn to swim, while also enjoying it, Coach Karim is the perfect balance. We sent our kids to programs like Le Petite Baleen, Andersen, etc and the rate of improvement was incredibly slow — especially for the amount of $$ they are charging you for a group lesson. It can be good when your kids are first getting comfortable with water to have them coddled and eased it, but after that initial period it’s like paying for a really expensive baby sitter to watch your kid play in the water. With Coach Karim, my 6 year old can now confidently swim many laps on his own, and knows freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, and even butterfly much better than I do. My 4 year old is now able to swim one length to of the pool freestyle, and near the point where I feel safe letting her play in the pool with only moderate supervision. Most importantly, both of my kids love the water and look forward to their lessons. He has really made learning fun and these private lessons have been such a better deal than what all the group lessons are charging.

Best instructor I have come across as someone whom was trying to learn swimming as an adult. There aren’t many options for adults to learn swimming and most are expensive. Karim guided me teaching me some drills. I was able to learn swimming doing the drills and progress myself. I took one lesson from him and was able to progress and be able to swim myself within two months. I will always recommend him for any one who wants to learn swimming.

Details: Adult (18 or older) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Become more comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • No, I would like the pro to suggest a pool • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Karim is an excellent swim instructor. He taught the whole family to swim. My 4 year old was swimming by 3rd class. I and my husband were swimming by my 2nd class ( needed practice). I would highly recommend him.

Coach Karim is an excellent swim instructor. He has been teaching my wife and I and we have seen a remarkable improvement in just 4 lessons. We are beginners and he has made us comfortable with water even on deep ends. He instills confidence which brings in the fun for swimming. He is punctual and responsive. He truly loves his job and I would strongly recommend him for any one of any age.
