Coach Nicholas is a great with kids who are competitive swimmers. He really gets to know the kids and makes their swim routines fun for them. He is good with all 4 strokes so helped my kids with their technique and endurance. He is very good at pin pointing their strengths and weaknesses.

Amazing! I would definitely recommend Swim With The Tide to anyone considering swim lessons. Choosing Nicholas was one of the best decisions I made for my 2 year old son. He has always loved the water but I needed some help with getting him to swim completely independently without relying on me to hold him, Nicholas achieved this within two lessons. He uses the perfect blend of teaching and fun! My son now also has a new sense of awareness, confidence and technique thanks to Swim With The Tide. Every time we go in the pool now my son asks if Nicholas is coming.

I am so glad we found Nick for our family swimming lessons. My husband and I needed lessons for our one year old to introduce him to the water and get him comfortable but we also needed some lessons for ourselves (not so great swimmers). Nick was great with our little one, who was not happy to be in the water initially, but totally warmed up by the end of his first session. Nick gave him plenty of attention and care and I absolutely appreciate it. Nick also spent plenty of time with my husband and I individually. He taught us proper techniques while having fun discussions. Such a pleasure to work with and easy going! We look forward to continuing to work with Nick for the foreseeable future.

The best pandemic swim coach! We did a virtual session and Nicholas was able to give me really good constructive tips on how to better my stroke. Looking forward to more lessons. Highly recommend!
