About

My rate sheet for swimming lessons are below in the photo section. The lessons will be taking place in Nassau County, Long Island. - I have been teaching people how to swim for 12 years. The youngest that I have worked with is 3.5-months-old, and the eldest are adults. I can teach all four competitive strokes, flip- and open-turns, and how to tread water. I can prepare someone for a tryout, event, or qualification. Serious inquires please. Thumbtack charges my business per request, so if you’re not ready to start immediately, then you can send me a message in the meantime or wait until you are.

Marcus is a wonderful swim instructor. I knew I was in good hands from the first lesson. Marcus gently helped me through the process while being understanding of my lack of experience and comfort in the water. He teaches step by step so that you can truly understand the art of swimming. Marcus is the best instructor I could have asked for. It was clear from every lesson that he was passionate about teaching you to swim and about watching you succeed!

Marcus provided swim instruction for my 5 year old son and husband. He was very hands on and provided excellent instruction. He taught them the different strokes and after around 3 months my son was able to swim an entire lap in swimming pool on his own, and without stopping. Similarly my husband who could not swim at all when he started three months ago, is now able to swim different strokes on his own.
