Elton Santamaría - I can't say enough good things about him. I am so pleased with my personal training with him and with the results that I am achieving, Workouts were appropriately geared to what I was able to do and would get progressively more challenging as our sessions went on. I definitely feel stronger and more fit. Highly recommend him.

Elton has really become like a big brother to me! We’re still training and swimming and he’s absolutely supportive of my fitness goals, he’s very attentive and patient and also encouraging of every small step making me want to work out and do better for myself! Elton’s view of swimming is not just about the physical but the mental too and he’s very intentional about making sure I understand my body’s relationship with water and now with physical training in the gym. He’s super friendly, punctual, easy going, consistent, and funny! I’d recommend him any day because not only would you gain a supportive trainer but a friend! I’m still training and swimming with Elton, since I think May or June 2022 and have no regrets!

I highly recommend Elton. He is very thoughtful and an intellect expert swimming teacher who is very considerate, has full awareness, patience, quickly responsive, and respectful. I used fear water. Over ten years, I have slipped discs in my lower back and an intense sciatic nerve pain (neck to leg). With Elton’s constructive swimming lessons, I, no longer fear water, mastered swimming within three months of lessons with Elton (twice a week lesson plus personal consistent practicing). I, no longer suffer from pains from disc and nerve pain. I lost weights and my body is lean with gentle muscles. For sure, Definitely my body is stronger. Now, I swim freely, dive with excitement, and jump into deep water with confidence. I highly recommend Elton for swimming lessons to those who want to overcome personal fear of water, strength muscles, and nerves, lose weight, looking for a well balanced and a healthy way of living.

Taught my 3 yr old to swim in a way that is thoughtful, smart and fun so that he doesn’t want to get out of the pool at the end of each lesson now! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great teacher for their child.
