Introduction
Having coached and been in many swim teams as well as taught for almost 10 years, I inspire my work from my athletic background of decades of competing and being surrounded by Olympic and world class athletes. I adapt traditional rules of swimming with my own eurekas and ahaha moments I had in my 40 years of swimming and share with the student. I seek to unveil in each student the hidden teacher within so that the student does not blindly and robotically follow instructions but find the instructions that best fit them. By having them experience and experiment various scenarios or drills on their own, they truly find the connection with their anatomy, body mechanics, the water and their why ( swimming happily facilitates learning). Only then the student will truthfully anchor the techniques via muscle memory and make swim movements a new and desirable reflex. This Swim 3.0 version: the foundations of the sport while remaining fun and challenging! I do that by using games, along with land exercises like yoga for flexibility and pilates for core and cross breeding swim drills from water polo for conditioning and underwater hockey for lung capacity improvement. Introductory price for new students: 3 classes for the price of 1 @ 140$. 4 PACKAGES OPTIONS: 1)Casual Splasher :1400$ 10 sessions-never expires. 2)Hustler Hammer Shark: 950$ 10 sessions- expires in 3 months 3)Power Piranha: 850$ 10 sessions- expires in 1 month. 4)Life Time Swimmer: buy 5 consecutive packages and get Free Lessons for your lifetime!!! (Restrictions applied) 4 POOL OPTIONS: Please note: I do most of my business in private pools. Public Pools and Gyms are not only often crowed but do not allow outside instruction. Nonetheless there are the pools I found over the years that are more lenient and can be less crowded. The lesson conditions may not be ideals. 1)Oakland Sports Center 2)Oceana High School in Pacifica 3)Private Rentals or pools memberships available on Swimply 4)Day passes in Hotels on ResortPass.com Drop ins in public pools are about 10$ and private rental can vary from 20$ to over 100$. Private rentals to be split between client and teacher on Power Piranha Packages only. Haven’t found what suits you….?! There s always the ocean….or the park next to my hours or your house! Yes you can swim in the park 😂😂 It’s called dry swim, just like tou can learn to ski without mountains and snow, yes!

Veronique is kind, knowledgeable, funny, and encouraging. I am so grateful for the exceptional training and guidance I received during our sessions. From the moment I stepped into the pool, Veronique's passion and dedication for teaching swimming was evident. Her enthusiasm is contagious, making each lesson a fun and motivating experience. We have only had 3 sessions so far, but I am already feeling very confident and will continue going to her until I reach my goals. The lessons have a good variety of techniques that you learn, thereby making them very engaging and enjoyable. What sets Veronique apart is her personalized approach to teaching. She takes the time to understand my unique needs and goals, tailoring the lessons to suit my abilities and learning style. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced swimmer, she will undoubtedly help you reach your goals and instill in you a lifelong love for swimming.

Veronique is a great swimming instructor. She's punctual and professional. I have two very different personalities kids, and she was able to adapt to their different needs and temperaments for the lesson plan. We look forward to seeing her in the future lessons!

Veronique is super patient and encouraging as a coach. She is very detail oriented and explains the reason behind every stroke in the water. I like the fact that makes us do yoga during warmup as that really helps before swimming. She makes the class a lot of fun (and work too), I’m glad she’s my coach!
