About

I help you and your child achieve from being water safe to swimming like a pro. There is no excuse for drowning --- being the #1 cause of death for 4 and under, nor #2 for 13 and under in the US!

I am working daily with many adults and children just like you and yours.

If you are:

* Beginning and just getting started in the water or improving your technique

* Getting in condition and preparing to compete

* Chasing mastery to place and to be ranked locally to nationally no matter what your category

From 16 months to 92 years old, tots, age-groupers, Masters, girls, boys, men and women, learn-to-swim, improving through competition at national and Olympic levels. I have taught thousands of children and adults to swim over my career. From simple daily technical skills to race-day performance.

I focus on technique because whoever holds technique the longest wins --- and will never forget. I include dryland exercises to complement and enhance swimming work. I incorporate life skills and values in my teaching and coaching. My swimmer athletes frequently perform better in the classroom and at work as they improve their athletic and swimming performance.

For my age group swimmers, they receive tutorials with photos, and video references on each stroke, starts, and turns. We may also include customized dryland exercise programs and weight training.

My experience: I competed as an age-grouper, high school, club, college and USMS swimmer. I set IM and butterfly records, swam LA City finals, 4-year varsity letterman in water polo in college. Current USMS competitor. I developed an age group team (4-18 yrs.) starting with 10 swimmers to 350+ swimmers, several achieving national status and, one Olympian.

I am certified ASCA American Swim Coaches Assoc.) levels 1-4, USMS (US Masters Swimming) levels 1-3, and Red Cross swim coach and instructor and recommended on Thumbtack, LA Mommies. and CoachUp. Faithful clients come primarily from referrals and CoachUp.

My students, whether 1 or 92, learn to swim while having fun. I have a 95% success rate.

Questions? Let's talk, iron out the details, put together your or your child's program. I am sure that we can find a way! Let's get started.

Results: Watching the children and adults grow and achieve, stand and walk a little taller, with greater self-assurance. Seeing them realize that they can do it. From a 50 yr.-old man who couldn't swim or float, swim 50 yds. freestyle after 10 lessons. A 10 yr.-old boy who never won anything become "man of the meet" because of his lifetime best performance, strutting around with his award. A 70-year-old woman, condemned to a slow death, start swimming - and one year later, she swam a mile a day, all symptoms disappeared. A completely water-safe, 28-month-old, goes everywhere. A 76-year-old man started with 10 yards, after 6 lessons, he could swim freestyle for 100 yards. A 3 1/2-year-old swimming with basics of freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, plus diving! A 5-year-old girl swimming a 100 yd. individual medley. And a 6-year-old boy swimming a 200 individual medley (with a dive, turns and no DQ)!

You and your children can be just like this!
