Devorah was an amazing swim coach! She was patient in areas that I was not comfortable with, yet challenges me enough to leave each lesson feeling accomplished. She was able to help me navigate fear of deep water and improve my lap swim techniques. It was also really fun learning with her. This review is a bit late but had to! Would definitely recommend her and take more of her lessons.

Details: Adult (18 or older) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Become more comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • Yes, a pool that allows private lessons • 60 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Deborah knows how to teach!! I was nervous when I went to the pool, because I needed to quickly improve my swimming abilities to pass the scuba diving certification before a family trip to Australia. However, in the three lessons with Deborah, I not only achieved my goal of learning how to tread water for 10 minutes, but I was able to breathe without picking up my head while swimming laps! I have never been able to do that! Thank you, Deborah!

She's perfect with my grandchildren! She takes her time along with effort to get the job done. She can teach a non-swimmer how to float in 30 minutes! I love her🥰!
