About

Hi, I’m Adrien, founder of Cool Strokes. I offer private swim lessons for kids, adult beginners, swimmers building confidence in the water, and those looking to improve stroke technique. I’m a 4-year NCAA swimmer, former YMCA instructor, CPR certified, and I’ve taught 1,000+ lessons. Private lessons start at $60 for 30 minutes, with 45- and 60-minute options plus package pricing available. Lessons are typically held at your pool or approved community pool access, and travel may affect final price. When reaching out, please include the swimmer’s age, current level, goals, and whether you have pool access so I can recommend the best fit.

I wish I could choose all 5 items! My Instructor, Adrien Hosking, is AMAZING! I'm on lesson 4 of 8 in the package I purchased. His Patience, Encouragement and Skill has reduced my fears of swimming. As I look forward to lesson 5, I believe I can Swim! Over 4 decades of attempting group instructions, this is the first time , with Adriens' personal instructions, that has resulted in the desired outcome to swim. I encourage all, especially those of a tender age (70+) to receive this service...I suspect that Adrien will be in High Demand and I encourage all to access his and Cool Strokes LLC before they are destined to be the BEST service and possibly inundated with multiple request to provide their services!
