We really enjoyed our lesson with Misho! He was patient, encouraging, and made us both feel comfortable even when we were struggling with something. He was great at explaining techniques and giving us helpful feedback without making us feel intimidated. We both feel more confident in the water and would definitely recommend him.

Misho is patient and encouraging and provides well thought-out, structured lessons. By relating personal experiences and giving mini pep-talks and strategies to stay calm, he helped my kid overcome his fear of getting his face wet and become more confident in the water to the point that he is actually swimming now. Would recommend!

My wife and I are learning to swim with Misho. We are currently working on our front crawl breathing, additionally plan to becoming more comfortable in deeper water, and treading water. We have tried different swim lessons before, but Misho really stands out! He communicates incredibly well, demonstrates everything clearly, and always takes the time to answer our questions. He has a great variety of drills and breaks each skill into smaller pieces, so we can practice them individually before putting everything together. We are already feeling more confident and are genuinely excited to keep improving with him. We are looking forward to our next lessons!

About Misho R.

Hi, my name is Misho, and I am very passionate about teaching people how to swim because it opens so many avenues in your personal life. The things I love most in life involve swimming, such as freediving, scuba diving, spearfishing, and snorkeling. I also love to teach and have worked as a summer camp counselor and volunteer basketball coach!

Teaching philosophy

My pedagogy is focused on tailoring the learning experience to the individual student. For instance, when teaching a skill, the degree to which I rely on verbal explanation as opposed to hands-on manipulation and demonstration is adapted according to my student's ideal learning style. Fluent in English, French, and Bulgarian

A typical first lesson

Before the lesson, I will reach out online to inquire about goals and swimming experience. At the start of the lesson, I will evaluate your skills, then coach you through the appropriate skills that will help you progress towards your goals. After the lesson, I will check up on your experience and provide a list of things to work on.
