About
Hi everyone, My name is Elena, and swimming has been a major part of my life for over 15 years. I am an experienced swim instructor, swim coach, and NASM-certified personal trainer with a background in open-water marathon swimming and winter swimming. I have been teaching swimming since 2011, working with students of all ages and skill levels—from young children learning their first strokes to adults overcoming fear of the water, improving technique, or training for fitness and endurance goals. What I enjoy most about teaching is helping each student build confidence and progress at their own pace. I am patient, encouraging, and adapt my teaching style to fit the individual needs of every swimmer, whether they are complete beginners or more advanced athletes. I am currently accepting new students for private swim lessons and have a very flexible schedule. Lessons are available for both children and adults, in the pool or open water depending on experience level and goals. Whether you’re looking to help your child become water-safe, learn to swim yourself, refine your technique, or prepare for an event, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with your goals, location, and preferred schedule. Looking forward to helping you become a stronger and more confident swimmer! Elena

My kids had one class with Elena and they liked it. They appreciate her constant feedback which helps them to improve after every lap.

Ms Elena is reliable, punctuale, professional, very patient, and wonderful teacher. She has a very smart, smooth and effective way of teaching my 4yo daughter. The kid enjoys herself while working very hard. 45 min of intense exercise and fun. I highly highly recommend her.
