have enjoyed taking swimlessons with Erwin. I have been splashing around in the pool my whole life but decided I wanted to actually learn the proper way to swim. Erwin is knowledgeable, patient and extremely encouraging. He makes the lesson fun and rewarding and the hour passes too quickly!

We’re very happy with Atlantic SwimLessons. Both of my kids are taking classes and they enjoy it so much. The instructor is very professional and patient and he really helps them feel confident in the water. Communication and scheduling are easy and I appreciate how fast and organized they are. We already see good progress and we will definitely continue the lessons. Highly recommended!

I wanted my son to finally learn how to swim, and these lessons were exactly what he needed. The instructor was patient, clear, and really cared about his progress. Hes swimming better than me now!

Erwin is an incredible swim instructor! We were in Florida and finally made the decision to teach our 4.5 year old how to really swim. Erwin was patient, which allowed our son to feel comfortable in the water! Most importantly, we saw real time measurable results. By the end of the trip, within 6 days, our son was swimming. We are thrilled!!!! We also gave our 9 year old son swim instruction to improve his strokes, which we were so happy with. Erwin is a professional and my kids loved him. I highly recommend and will definitely reach out to him next time we're in the Miami area!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our prices are the most competitive you can find for what we provide you. I’ve kept the prices the same since pre-covid because I believe having affordable swim lessons is important so many people can learn this valuable life-long skill without breaking the bank.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will ask you about your experience, struggles, and goals you have for swimming. Will develop a personalized plan for you to learn and improve. We’ll do the first lesson, pay after first lesson, learn to swim within 4-8 lessons!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Competitive swimmer for 6 years, competitive water polo player for 4 years, and taught swim lessons for over 12 years.
