From Our Founder

About Our Swim School

As a personal swimming coach, I strive to help every swimmer realize their full potential in the sport.

My journey started with a simple belief: every swimmer deserves the right coach — someone who understands their fears, pushes their potential, and celebrates every milestone, big or small. From toddlers taking their first dip to competitive athletes refining their strokes, our mission is to help each swimmer reach their full potential.

Behind every lesson lies a story: a parent who wants their child to feel safe in the water, an adult finally ready to conquer their fear, or a triathlete striving for their next personal best. Regardless of where you are in this journey, my team and I are dedicated to making it happen—with expert guidance, a love for teaching, and a commitment to helping you master swimming as a lifelong skill.

Slava is an excellent swimming instructor

Slava is an excellent swimming instructor. I can highly recommend him. He has a wide repertoire of swimming drills and has a very good and thoughtful training plan. Initially I was paddling like a duck. Now I can enjoy freestyle, butterfly, breast and back swimming with style. Slava helped me systematically to built up my technique step by step. He provides pinpointed feedback after each exercise. He will definitely help you advancing your swimming skills.
Thanks Slava!

We have known Slava, for quite some time now

We have known Slava, for quite some time now, and his demeanor has always been the same. He always has the best disposition, understands the needs and is keen in picking up on what needs work, and provides solutions. No matter the level, my son who is a competitive swimmer, or me, pretty much a beginner, Slava is consistent in his style of coaching, and transmits a great level of confidence across the lane line. I would gladly recommend Slava, hands down.

Not only is Slava an amazing human being

Wow, where to start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not only is Slava an amazing human being – empathetic, patience and polite. But he is by far the greatest teacher I’ve had. In just a couple of lessons I’ve been able to see progress in my technique which has hugely helped my confidence to pursue an Ironman 70.3!!!

Some key things that I love about having him as a teacher!

•patience – he’ll take the time to explain things in a way that you understand and show you as many examples as needed!
• hands-on – expect him to get in the pool with you and show you how it gets done.
•he is an athlete- you will learn from the best – hands down!
•100/100 – great investment for kids and adults, no doubt

FAQs

How long does it take to learn to swim?

The time it takes to learn to swim varies for each person and depends on factors like age, experience, comfort level, and physical ability.

Due to their cognitive abilities, adults often learn faster, but challenges like fear of water or previous injuries can affect progress. Some may feel comfortable after just a few lessons, while others may take longer.
Kids typically take more time as they develop coordination and water confidence at their own pace. Their progress depends on age, developmental stage, and exposure to water.

When to start swim lessons?

Adults can start learning to swim at any age and progress at their own pace with personalized instruction tailored to their comfort level, challenges, and goals. Whether overcoming a fear of water or improving their technique, structured lessons can help them build confidence and skills efficiently.

When it comes down to kids, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends starting swim lessons after the age of one. Many children begin developing water readiness at this stage, making lessons a positive and beneficial experience.

However, every child is different. If you start earlier, observing their comfort level during the first couple of lessons is important. If lessons feel too stressful, taking a break and trying again when they’re a little older may be best.

How many swim lessons does a child need?

Age plays a significant role in learning speed:

Children under 4 years of age often take longer to develop coordination and muscle control for swimming. Progress may be slower, but early exposure helps build comfort in the water.
At the 4.5 years mark, kids typically progress faster because they have more physical strength, coordination, and cognitive ability to understand and apply instructions.

Factors like fear of water or past negative experiences can also impact a child's learning pace.

What to wear to swim lessons?

Here’s what to bring based on age:

Babies & Toddlers: A swim diaper and a comfortable swimsuit are essential for hygiene.
Kids: A swimsuit and goggles are recommended for better visibility underwater. If your child has long hair, a swim cap is helpful to keep hair out of their face.
Adults: You need only a swimsuit and goggles. For those with long hair, wearing a swim cap can improve comfort and reduce drag in the water.

How long are swim lessons?

Our swim lessons range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the swimmer’s age, skill level, and goals. Contact our team, and we’ll help you find the best fit!
