About
Hello Swimmers Big & Small,
I have one or two openings in March, April and May and am already booking lessons for summer 2024.
Most of my business comes from repeat customers and referrals.
But if you're serious about learning to swim to the best of your ability,
I'd be delighted to hear all about your desires with swimming.
The 2023 swim season was fantastic with so many happy
swimmers and parents. It is inspiring to see everyone learning
how to the very best of their ability.
About me: I am a highly skilled swimmer, Instructor and Coach.
I am passionate about excellence in service and teaching.
I am able to teach the best swimming techniques to all ages,
and all skill levels, from toddlers to seniors, from beginners to
experienced swimmers. I also teach safety and survival in my
highly structured and fun lessons.
Taught swimming for many years in the USA, and in other
countries, teaching people of all ages and ethnicities.
Four time Jr. Olympian record holder. Youth Safety Counselor
and Swim Check Instructor with The Boy Scouts Of America.
Swim Team Coach and Private Swimming Instructor, Volunteer
with The Children's Home and Salvation Army.
I have techniques that can get you or your child swimming to
the best of your ability, quickly. I have taught people who
were terrified of the water and had them swimming the
length of the pool in just a few lessons. You will be shocked
at your own achievements.
I have a 100 % success rate. I adore children and I treasure
all of my client's.
I also give a nicely Framed Achievement Award to each
swimmer at the end of the lessons and a nice gift at no
extra charge. For the children, we have a lot of wild antics
but we also put in the work needed to get the great results.
Good Luck To All,
Coach Mark
There is only one best at any one thing...

He is very knowledgeable even with more advanced swimmers and provides thoughtful lessons to help them reach their goals. Cannot recommend Mark enough!
