“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 positive results. Finally, at age 6, a friend recommended private swim lessons with John. Despite our daughter’s extreme shyness, he connected with her instantly. He was engaging, creative and an extremely good instructor. Talia was swimming after 4 lessons, without tears, but rather with excitement. She even requested to attend more lessons with him. She continues to love the water but now enters willingly and swims for hours in the pool. We highly recommend John to any parent who is seeking an experienced instructor who is fantastic with children.”
