John, It was a pleasure having you as my instructor. I learned a lot, was rightly challenged to try hard things from my perspective, and cherished the opportunity to learn. For me, it was certainly time and money well spent! … Continue reading
Rob, April
I enrolled my son Brevin in swim lessons at 4 years old. After 8 long weeks of loud and chaotic pool time he was no further along than when he started. Still not swimming on his own, he remained afraid … Continue reading

I had been looking for swimming lessons for my 4 year old grandson for awhile. I really wanted 1 on 1 since he does better that way. I found John while searching online. I was impressed within the first 15 … Continue reading

John is a phenomenal swim instructor! He guarantees that novice swimmers will learn how to swim in 4 lessons, well guess what…I learned in 2 days!! To be honest I didn’t think that anyone can teach me the basic techniques … Continue reading
Malmoona, September 2015
I’m in my forties and I’ve been terrified of water above chest level pretty much all my life. I asked for John’s help because I wanted to get past the fear. He has a no-nonsense style that prevented me from … Continue reading

John, Thank you so much for everything you have done to help our daughter. The bond and trust you created with her was instrumental in the rapid progress she made. She enjoyed the lessons and seeing her confidence soar has … Continue reading
Bahar, June 2015
I grew up in India, and like other kids, my parents enrolled me in some “famous” swimming lessons. Unfortunately, that instructor threw me into the pool. Apparently that method worked with other kids but, I was traumatized and developed a … Continue reading

Dear John, I enjoyed every moment of my time in the water. You are a fabulous trainer; especially considering my immense fear of the water. You instilled a lot of confidence in me the first day. You have quite the … Continue reading

Hello John, Thank you so much for everything! But, saying something as simple as that doesn’t really begin to cut it. You have given me such a gift. Since our last lesson, one week ago today, I have gone swimming … Continue reading
Bri, August 2014
I set out to find private adult swimming lessons in San Diego, somewhere with a teacher who specialized in people like me…. people who were convinced they would sink and drown if they got near a large body of water. … Continue reading
Merav, July 2014
“Our daughter always loved the water but was extremely hesitant when entering the pool. She would prefer to sit on the stairs rather than try to swim. We attempted group swim lessons several times, each time with tears and no … Continue reading
