We’re beyond happy with our 4 year old son’s progress in learning how to swim since he’s started taking lessons from Kevin. Our son is so much more comfortable in the water and quickly learned how to float on his back. Kevin does a great job of keeping our son’s attention during the entire 30 minutes and the private pool area is incredibly nice. Our son was not interested in group lessons at local facilities but literally runs to the pool every day we have lessons with Kevin. We highly recommend!
Details: Young child (18 months - 5 years old) • Beginner • Comfortable in water • Learn basic strokes • Become more comfortable in water • Improve swimming technique • No, I would like the pro to suggest a pool • 30 minutes • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

We’ve been working with Kevin for almost 3 years... he started working with my was when she was about 2.5 years old. This summer (she’s 5 now) we felt fully confident with her abilities in the deep end. She can tread water safely, get to the side of the pool and can even swim a full 25 meter length of the pool. She stands out among her peers when we’re swimming with a group of kids and you can see a drastic difference in her confidence vs. other kids who haven’t had such consistent lessons. Also having the privatelessons has made all the difference. Each lesson is tailored to her skill level and she’s pushed harder than a group lesson of 3 or 4 kids
My son now swims with Kevin and is also doing great with him. Can’t recommend enough working with Kevin...
If you’re questioning the cost of privatelessons and wondering if it’s worth it, let me tell you it 100% is... the peace of mind knowing your kids are safe in the water is worth every penny! It’s priceless to know they can safely get to the side of the pool when they need to

Our daughter has experienced great success w/ Coach Kevin. It’s wonderful to have a full 30 min lesson dedicated to learning swim skills that young swimmers need to advance their techniques. Our daughter leaves the pool happy and ready to try the next challenge Coach Kevin presents! Thanks Coach Kevin!

Kevin is extremely patient with my daughter, and very skilled in teaching the life saving skill of swimming. He quickly identified my child's strength and weaknesses and explained what exactly was happening during each movement and how make the corrections. My daughter has made the most gains and progress in her swimming thanks to the thoughtful teaching of Kevin.

Kevin is an amazing swim instructor! He taught our 4-year old how to float on her back to safety. She’s also now swimming freestyle! He’s patient, provides clear instructions and our kids love working with him. Don’t hesitate to book a lesson with Kevin!

I’m able to offer the highest quality of swim lessons at the lowest cost because I’m working out of a private residential pool. Most facilities have an incredible amount of overhead they have to cover.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Figuring out the goals the parents have for the child and determining what each child is going to need.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Masters Degree in Special Education, with over 20+ years of swim experience!
