Introduction: Hi, My name is Elena, I’ve recently moved here from New York where I’ve done open water marathon swimming and winter swimming myself and teaching pool and open water swim lessons. I am a NASM certified personal trainer and swim coach/instructor. I’ve been teaching swimming since 2011, full time until 2019 and part time since then as I’ve switched careers and have a full time job, but swimming and especially teaching it to others remains my passion. I miss teaching so currently looking for 2-3 adults or kids I could train in my free time. I have my full time work 8.30 to 5 pm on weekdays so looking to teach after 5 pm on weekdays or weekend mornings when the sun is not as strong. My availability will be very limited, so only looking for 2-3 people max, preference will be given to those who are located closer to me geographically. Thank you for understanding. In health, Elena

Elena was so kind and patient with my 4 year old. He gave her a hard time and she remained steadfast and made a lot of progress in our first session. I highly recommend and will be using her going forward.

Elena is amazing -- informative, extremely patient, and articulate. She's inspired me to keep swimming and to keep up my lessons!!! I'd give 1000 stars if I could.

Elena is a great instructor. She is very knowledgeable and very patient, which is helpful when you are an adult beginner. Swimming is not natural for me at all and she took the time to explain things well and go over them again if needed.

Elena is an excellent instructor. She is very patient and was able to help me to relax in the water. I'm in my 50's and have been reluctant to take swim lessons my entire life. I'm so happy to know, that with Elena's help, I will be able to swim on my own. I highly recommend her!
