Roger Montenegro Swim Coach
Introduction
I have an international experience when it comes to swimming, many will never match. I have worked with swimming clubs in New Zealand, Kuwait, and Florida. I have been Head Coach of Kings College in New Zealand, to a swimming instructor for 6 year olds in Plantation, Florida. I currently work with Fitter and Faster Swim Tour, bringing Olympic medalist swimmers to local communities. I can teach you and your children how to swim and have the best technique one could have with a private instructor.
I enjoy teaching water safety and being able to teach both children and adults how to have fun in a different platform and do it more efficiently

My daughter loves the pool, but all I ever saw her do was the doggy paddle.
She had private and small grouplessons in years past, but we never got her past level 1.
Roger spent extra time the first day to assess her skills prior to the actual lesson. She was hesitant at first with the concept of swimming lessons because she had to unlearn a few bad habits as well as push herself out of her comfort zone. Roger was encouraging and patient. By her 3rd lesson, she had shown a dramatic improvement after following Roger's directives. Roger also gave me feedback on where she needed to focus on for the next lesson. She still has 3 more lessons before she is done with her package of 6 sessions of 45 min lessons. I am confident that she will have learned a lot in this period of time.

Coach Montenegro worked with our teenager to review his existing swimming skills and to renew his life safety skills in the water. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, personable and communicated very well with our son. We were very pleased and satisfied with every aspect of his training. We highly recommend Coach Montenegro for swimming or personal training.

Roger was AMAZING!!! I hired Roger for three 60 minute lessons so he could help my 13 year old nephew feel more comfortable in the water and work with him on basic swimming techniques. Before during and after the lessons Roger knocked it out of the park. Prior to the lesson: he was available on short notice to come after another instructor cancelled on me, he emailed a health questionnaire to complete, he showed up on time and ready to start, he communicated before the lesson to confirm the time and location, he was very professional, courteous and concise. Roger spent 15 minutes prior to the first one hour lesson to assess my nephew's current abilities and discuss training goals. During the lesson, my nephew responded overwhelmingly to Roger's positive feedback and they quickly formed a coach/student bond. He was firm during the lesson, but not overly demanding and he is very kind. I even learned a few things from him just listening to him talk during the lessons. After the lessons, Roger discussed "homework" to do on land practicing kicks and arm motions. Our third lesson got rained out, but we will reschedule when my nephew is in town again this summer and will definitely be continuing swim lessons with Roger.

Roger was the swim instructor for my grand children. They were visiting and the results in one week with Roger were amazing. The kids loved him as he was engaging and a very trusting instructor. MJ

Roger, thank you very much for helping my niece age 3 and nephew age 5 eliminate their fear of water. You are patient and reassuring. They now love to swim and play in our pool. Before they would not let go of the handrail in the shallow end. Now, thanks to you, they're jumping in the pool! You are miracle worker!
