About
My name is Kevin and I bring a diverse skillset of 11 years of teaching experience, 14 years of competitive swimming experience, and a customer service portfolio like no other. I can cater to your demanding needs when no other swim school was able to produce the outcome for you in conquering your water related goals. I have a track record of meeting a high customer service need and satisfaction, of which you will find some of the clients I’ve worked with on my page. I am very customer service oriented, and prioritize not only the progress but the approach, investing heavily in toys, tools, and other motivational strategies to develop the love of continuous learning. I also lean very heavily in basing and guiding my system off practical know-how from being a former competitive swimmer and understanding the movements that are being taught on a first case basis. A coach that is a proficient swimmer will be much more effective at adapting solutions, and much more precise in getting to the root of the solution for any plateaus that should be experienced because they themselves have experienced it. You will find videos of my stroke performance on my page, both from a slower visual technique standpoint, as well as the practical speed I produce from a timing standpoint to add an extra layer of security and peace of mind. ✅ Advanced stroke analysis with GoPro available. ✅ Wide range of toys and motivational incentivization tools such as candy and stickers available for the most demanding children. ✅ Specialized swimming tools to overcome your plateau in swimming longer distances or mastering a stroke available. My prices are reflective of the high standard of service that I take into consideration with each lesson. Please inquire for further details. During the Spring and Summer season, I have a team of trainers/coaches that have undergone an extensive onboarding, screening, and training process to ensure both a strong background in teaching experience and competitive swim experience to meet your swimming related needs. If interested, please inquire for pricing details.

Kevin is FANTASTIC! Really, Kevin is absolutely incredible! He gave one-on-one lessons to my 2-year-old granddaughter, and the progress and joy we've seen already is just amazing. He's so patient, engaging, and clearly has a wonderful way with young children, making this fun as well as effective. Highly recommend for any little one starting their swim journey! We came with no pool or water access at all; Kevin got everything scheduled and all we had to do was show up. He's exceptional at communication, and his prices and schedule are better than anyone around (believe me, I shopped around!) You really can't go wrong hiring him. I'm confident my granddaughter already has a much greater understanding and respect for water, and she was so excited she learned how to blow bubbles and tread water! I'm super impressed!

Coach Kevin has been incredible with my daughter—he took her from just knowing how to swim to being completely swim team ready. She’s learned all her strokes with proper technique, built up her stamina, and gained so much confidence in the water. Kevin is patient, encouraging, and truly knows how to motivate kids to do their best. We’re so grateful for his guidance and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive swim coach!

My 3 year old son loves the water, but was unable to swim. In just 14 sessions he has learned the basics of swimming and can swim on his own over to the side of the pool or steps. I am so impressed with the progress we made and look forward to reinforcing those skills with him. My son is a little stubborn at time (he’s 3….) but Kevin was always able to make things fun for him. Swimming is such an important skill to learn and I am so happy we decided to work with Kevin.
