Introduction: Hello I'm Aaron, swim instructor based in Sunnyvale. I have over 30 years experience coaching kids and adults. My students typically improve very quickly, whether they are complete beginners or need refinement with their swimming technique. YOU WILL NEED ACCESS TO A HEATED POOL. I customize each lesson to the needs of you. I know swimming can be a fearful, anxiety induced experience for many, but with my patience and encouraging teaching style I always see lots of improvement. I emphasize proper swimming technique, as that is how one excels in the water. I prefer one-on-one swim lessons, but under certain circumstances I can teach a joint lesson. It's all about how safe I feel both students are in the water. I start teaching at age 4. Don't hesitate to contact me. I usually respond in a few hours or at the end of the day. You will need access to a heated pool that allows a private coach in the South Bay Area.

My 5 year old daughter has been taking swim lessons for less than a month now with Aaron and she has made so much progress. She learned to swim in the first few sessions and is not confident to swim on her own all across the pool. She used to be very afraid of diving and going to the dapper part of the pool but is now confident and shows a lot of skills. I highly recommend Aaron. He is very patient with the kids and takes his lessons seriously, is always on time and very flexible with his schedule. Highly recommended for swim lessons!

Details: Young child (18 months - 5 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Become more comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • Yes, a pool at my home • 45 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Aaron gave two of my grandsons a beginners swim lesson. He communicated very well, was professional, and taught the lesson according to each personality. My grandsons were very responsive and learned a lot in a short period of time. Aaron recognized each of their strengths and focused on them. My grandsons are more confident in their swimming skills because of Aaron. I will call Aaron again for a second lesson.

Details: Youth (6 - 12 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Yes, a pool at my home • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc.

Aaron has been a great teacher to my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. My son was swimming after his first lesson!! They have both improved tremendously in a short time! I gave Aaron an A+. He’s fun and professional and we will continue to use him!

My son's experience with Aaron is spectacular ! My son was about to go to a camp(island) in six weeks which required to pass a swim test. Aaron turned him around in very short time . He quickly understood my son's abilities & worked with him patiently. His exceptional work quality & communication is quite impressive. In my son's words - Aaron is fun, efficient & helpful. Thanks Aaron!
