Introduction
Hi, I'm Kevin and I'm a former collegiate swimmer with the unique dual skillset of having a wide range of swim coaching/swim instructing experience of 11 years. I have experience meeting a wide range of needs, including very demanding scenarios where you or your child was irresponsive to progress at other swim schools in accomplishing your lifelong goal of being safe or more proficient in the water. I have a track record with meeting expectations for very high end clients which you can find photos of some of the client's pools of whom I've gotten permission from. I also invest heavily in the presentation and approach, as the impression you get is the tone and expectations set for the coach, and the confidence you will have in ensuring strong results and solutions in meeting your swimming goals. I also lean very heavily in basing and guiding my system off practical know-how from being a former competitive swimmer and understanding the movements that are being taught on a first case basis. I believe that a coach or instructor that hasn't experienced firsthand whether the system or process will work through self performance is basing the strategy off theory rather than practical solutions. You will find videos of me performing the strokes firsthand on my page to ensure an added layer of confidence in ensuring the highest levels of experience in achieving your water related goals. ✅ Advanced stroke analysis with GoPro available. ✅ Wide range of toys and motivational incentivization tools such as candy and stickers available for the most demanding children. ✅ Specialized swimming tools to overcome your plateau in swimming longer distances or mastering a stroke available. My prices are reflective of the high standard of service that I take into consideration with each lesson. Please inquire for further details. During the Spring and Summer season, I have a team of trainers/coaches that have undergone an extensive onboarding, screening, and training process to ensure both a strong background in teaching experience and competitive swim experience to meet your swimming related needs. If interested, please inquire for pricing details.

My two children, ages 3 and 6, have made incredible progress in just a few lessons with Kevin as their swim instructor. My son, who previously relied on floaties and wasn’t water-safe, amazed us by swimming unassisted after his very first lesson! In just a short time, he has begun learning freestyle and even diving to pick up toys from the bottom of the pool. It’s remarkable to see how quickly he has gained confidence in the water. Kevin’s calm demeanor and ability to motivate the kids are truly impressive. My 3-year-old daughter, who typically takes a while to warm up to new people, felt completely at ease with him from the start. This is a huge testament to Kevin’s approach, which includes fun pool toys and even gummy candies to keep the kids engaged and excited about their lessons. She has progressed much faster with Kevin than she did in her previous parent-and-me classes. I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin to any parent looking to get their kids water-safe quickly while ensuring they have a positive and enjoyable experience. We couldn’t be happier with the progress our children are making under his guidance!

We hired Kevin this summer to help my kids (7, 10) to learn how to swim. The kids absolutely love working with Kevin. He is great with them, extremely patient and combines play time with lesson time. This way kids wanted to swim vs. being afraid of the water. In 8 sessions my kids went from being afraid to easily swimming to even the deep end of our pool! Kevin can be very busy at times, but he is always flexible and try to balance the needs of his long list of clients. We are so happy with the results we booked an additional 8 sessions to further train our kids with swimming.

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • No experience • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Improve swimming technique • Yes, a pool at my home • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Kevin has been an incredible coach for my 8-year-old son, Luke. From the very beginning, Luke adored him. Kevin’s patience and positivity make every swim lesson something Luke looks forward to. Kevin is always approachable, and responsible, and maintains great communication with parents. We feel very fortunate to have him guiding Luke’s swimming journey!

Within the first ten minutes of my kids being in the pool with Kevin, I knew we’d made an excellent decision. His demeanor in the water is fantastic! One child couldn’t wait for lessons, the other dreaded them - Kevin had them both smiling at the end of first lesson. I’m looking forward to watching them progress this summer!
