Introduction
Price Reduction Until Spring! $150 per hour lesson. I teach/train: Infants, Children, Teens & Adults Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced USA Masters Military, SWAT, Coast Guard Triathletes Lifeguards Hello! I’m Coach Eugene and I am a professional swimmer and licensed paramedic. The water is my second home- I swim almost every day. My lessons are a fun and entertaining hands-on class which I've developed from swimming and teaching my entire life. Helping others is my lifelong passion. Whether it is in the back of an ambulance, in front of a camera, or in a pool. People matter and trade skills are steadily declining! It is a pleasure of mine to be able to teach any age how to swim. Infants to centennials. Swimming is a necessary skill that you will have for your entire life, no matter your physical wellbeing. The water can always be a comfort. I also provide training such as swim clinics, coaching for competitive swimmers, open water swimming, endurance swimming for triathlons, military (Navy/SEALs, Airforce, Coast Guard, etc.) and police or SWAT aquatic test training. "Coach Eugene, why are you more expensive than the other instructors?" Professional lessons versus amateur lessons speak for themselves. I have been teaching for two decades and I don't just teach swimming- I am an expert swimmer. I understand the psychology behind learning to swim, which only comes from experience. I'm also nationally certified and State licensed as a paramedic. Lesson price is based on the current SoCal rates for private professional swim lessons. My lessons have been rated #1 on Thumbtack for 6 years in a row- take a look at some of my reviews. ****Cancellation Policy**** If a lesson is cancelled 24 hours or less before appointment, or a pool is too cold for lessons, a $50 fee will be charged. Giving at least 24 hours notice ensures that someone else has the opportunity to fill your slot. Pools must be around 85ºF or students must have wetsuits.

Eugene does great work. He taught our 1.5 year old to swim in a summer. He has great techniques for toddler swim. It was amazing watching my son go from being terrified of the water to swimming and jumping in on his own in 1 summer. He’s patient with kids. I was also pregnant at the time and he was able to work with husband/son without me. Reliable. Amazing work. Would highly recommend.

Our three kids have been working with Coach Eugene this summer. Each of them have different temperament, courage level, and learning styles, but Coach has been patient and knew how to align his lessons with their differences. My youngest daughter is a bit hesitant but I love how Coach Eugene is very flexible with her while gently encouraging her to push her limits, she is much more comfortable in the water now than ever before. My other daughter is thriving, and I have seen her swimming skills advance tremendously. My son was able to learn how to swim in one lesson. As a parent my only goal was to make sure he was a strong enough swimmer to be safe in the water. After working with Coach Eugene, my son has developed a new found love for swimming and his happiness catapulted him far beyond my goal. I highly recommend Coach Eugene as a swim instructor, and we will continue to work with him. I am also very thankful to Coach Eugene because it was really a challenge trying to find a responsive swim instructor who can work with our schedule!

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • No experience • Comfortable in water • Become more comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Yes, a pool at my home • 45 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

We are incredibly grateful to have found Coach Eugene for our daughter's swim lessons. Having had multiple instructors in the past, none have managed to connect and inspire her quite like Coach Eugene. His teaching methods are both engaging and effective, and our daughter has shown remarkable progress in a short amount of time. His patience, encouragement, and expertise have made swimming fun and safe for her. We couldn't be happier with her development and highly recommend Coach Eugene to anyone looking for an outstanding swim coach.

Coach Eugene is an excellent swim instructor. He is knowledgeable and knows when and how to adjust his instruction based on my ability. He’s patient which makes me feel comfortable and safe. I started with Coach Eugene as a beginner and have made progress each lesson. I am now swimming the entire length of the pool. I highly recommend Coach Eugene.
