I had a major water phobia from an early age due to a near drowning at age eight. Finally, decades later, I decided I needed to learn how to swim and enjoy swimming like millions of others. When I found John’s website and learned that he can teach an adult how to swim within a few  private sessions, I was delighted.  I have to admit I signed up with a bit of skepticism mainly not believing anyone could teach me to overcome my fear in such a short time. But, to my surprise, when I met John his professionalism; understanding of my fear; his great personality and patience shined through. For every exercise, John patiently and meticulously described and demonstrated each step. He then watched me repeat it while pointing out all the  things I did wrong and how to correct each: how to breathe,  clear water from my nose, and many other helpful tips that put you at ease with swimming.

I highly recommend John as the number one swimming instructor in my book.  I just wished I had gotten to know him years earlier so I could have enjoyed swimming with my kids growing up. Also If you have kids, its the greatest gift you can give to them: to have a professional teach them at an early age – it must be one of the best joys in life. He teaches people of all ages.
