Witnessing their progress and the newfound confidence they gain in the water is incredibly rewarding.

My nurturing teaching style combined with keen attention to detail ensures that each individual receives personalized guidance and support on their aquatic journey!

Carlos has been a great swim coach for my 5 and 7 year old. He has been patient, consistent and assertive with my boys. He is a laid back guy with very clear communication. He gives me some small homework with small goals after every session which helps a lot to keep me encouraged. My boys are learning how to swim quickly. They are having fun and they have confidence in their coach. P.S. My boys dont know English that well and he is still getting across what he needs to get across.

I stumbled upon my amazing swimming teacher through a Google search, and I could not be more thrilled with the progress I have made in just seven lessons. Before this fall, I did not know how to swim, but now I feel confident in the water on my own. The first four lessons focused on the breaststroke style swimming, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I picked it up. The teacher's clear demonstrations and patient guidance made learning to float, kick, breath, coordinate my legs and arms a breeze. The approach ensured that I grasped each element before moving on to the next, and I truly felt satisfied with my progress. I can now swim breaststroke without difficulties. In the following lessons (five to seven), I delved into freestyle swimming. As an adult, learning to swim for the first time, it presented its challenges, but my teacher's expertise and encouragement made it possible. One of the standout qualities of my swimming teacher is the flexibility and responsiveness regarding scheduling. Planning lessons and fitting them into the busy schedule has been a breeze. The teacher's quick response time and willingness to accommodate my availability have made the learning experience even more stress-free.

We are very happy to have Carlos as the swim coach for my daughter and her friend. He was really good at working with kids. Both of the girls were able to put their heads in water and float on water in the first class, which we tried by ourselves for years but no success. They also learned doggy peddle very quickly in the next few classes and were starting the freestyle stroke now. Swimming is their favorite sports right now inspired by Carlos!

We hired carlos for my daughter's (Including her 2 friends) swimming lesson. After just one session with Carlos, I can confidently say that he is an excellent swimming coach. All the kids do not know how to swim and have fear of water. With his guidance and insightful tips helped all kids learned swimming very quickly and kids wanted to go to swim everyday. Moreover, Carlos has proven to be an approachable and accommodating professional, as he took the time to address and resolve any scheduling or billing concerns I had. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking to enhance their swimming skills. Many thanks!

We had a great experience with Carlos teaching swimming 1:1 to my 8 year old daughter this summer. My daughter went from ‘barely being comfortable in water’ to swimming back and forth to the deep end without any assistance in 3-4 weeks of 4, 30 minute sessions a week. We started with every alternate day, but adjusted to do daily to keep up the momentum. My daughter is very shy and liked the teaching style of Carlos and got quite chatty and friendly in no time, which was a surprise to me. We cannot wait to continue next summer again and highly recommend Carlos.
