I was unable to secure a time to work with Tom, however I am very impressed with the professional manner in which he extended his apology for this and continues to keep an open invite for me to swim with him.

Tom was great. Very detailed oriented, patient and knowledgeable. I saw progress in my swimming technique immediately. Tom did a great job with his teaching style and really understanding what my goal was. I would use him again, no doubt.

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I think a connection between client and trainer is important. Do you feel the professional understands your goals clearly? Have they laid out a process to achieve your goals that sounds clear to you?

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    My athletes and clients have ranged from school-aged children to senior citizens. In my opinion, it doesn't matter the experience level of the folks I work with, just their desire to get better. We can make amazing changes by working together!

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Try your best to identify some specific goals. That way, a professional will be able to assess whether they can help you attain them, given their experience and expertise!
