Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I'm a nice fun instructor who likes teaching. I know how to deal with children, as well as adults and I know what they like. The pool and learning how to swim are two of those things!! I love swimming. I try to swim at least 1 mile a day. It's the best workout, its easy on the joints, and is a true indicator on how in shape we all think we are. Another thing I enjoy about being a swim instructor, is that I'm in a position to help save people's lives. From 2010-2020, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day. An additional 332 people died each year from drowning in boating-related incidents. About one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger. So to be put into a position to where I can help prevent that from happening works for me.

We are SO pleased with Nathan’s professionalism. He thought our little one how to swim in less than one week. Our six year old learned techniques beyond our expectations. It is extremely hard to keep a six year old focused and engaged but Nathan was strict and patient. Great COACH/ Instructor! I truly recomend a 10 session lesson package to complete all safety, floating and different strokes techniques. Private classes are the way to go for sure.

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • Learn basic strokes • Become more comfortable in water • Yes, a pool at my home • 45 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

As a grandmother and health care professional and I strive to stay healthy – health is your wealth. I think swimming is by far the best full body work out for incorporating a lifetime of fitness no matter what age you are. I was terrified of the water, so I enlisted Ethan Jamal for private lessons and a girlfriend joined me which made the experience more fun – exciting. Please note this was not my first rodeo and I believe the big difference was my last experience took place in a group setting of 6-8 individuals. However, the one on one with Ethan has proven to be much more effective. Day 1 – my fear factor was eliminated. That was my biggest challenge. Thanks to Ethan's adept experience as a swim instructor – skills in teaching all ages - patience in articulating and demonstrating techniques – I can swim. I am forever grateful. Ethan helped me to build self -confidence - day 1. Confidence is the cornerstone of teaching and learning. Ethan helped me to build that platform. I’ve completed 5 sessions and I am excited about signing up for more to fine tune what I’ve learned so far and explore more. I aspire to be a lifetime swimmer. I consider my adventure an investment in self – toward having good health.

Details: Adult (18 or older) • Beginner • Not comfortable in water • Become more comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • Yes, a pool that allows private lessons • 45 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

We are very happy with Ethan’s swimming lessons. He has been very kind and punctual. I’m mostly happy because after the 2nd lesson my son was already comfortable in the deep end of the pool. So far we are completed 11 lesson and are thankful and excited about our experience with Ethan. We have just added 10 more lessons to learn more.

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Become more comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Improve swimming technique • Yes, a pool that allows private lessons • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Jamal is the perfect swim instructor for young children. He is very nice and patient and my kids really enjoy swimming with him. In just the first week I noticed my kids feeling more confident & comfortable in the water. I was having a hard time finding a private swim instructor as many of them would not return my phones calls. But Jamal replied away and even gave us a great deal. He has been driving out to our community pool making it very convenient for us working parents. Highly recommend!!

Ethan is an amazing swim instructor. He is professional, kind and extremely patient with his students/clients. At age 55 and with little to no swimming experience at all, I have learned how to be comfortable in the water and to breathe properly under water. In less than a month, I’ve learned so much, including how to float (front & back) and to swim the width of my pool. Ethan’s experience as a “master class” instructor and life guard is evident on the first day. He gets to know you and adapts his teaching to your ability and comfort level. As you progress, he gently coaches you to the next level. Ethan has opened a whole new world of health, wellness, and safety for me with swimming and I am forever grateful.
