My toddler was so scared of the water but Novica was so kind and caring he was asking more swim time by the end of his first lesson!

Ms. Novica is a good instructor, my husband always take my ausome Arden to swimming lesson and he said that she is way better than the other company that my son went in last summer. She is patient and gives clear instructions which is great for ausome kid.

Novica did an amazing job teaching my son how to swim for the first time. She was incredibly patient and had unique techniques that made him feel comfortable, enjoy the lessons, and overcome his fear of the water. We were so impressed with her teaching that we’ve already booked lessons with her for next swimming season. I highly recommend Novica to anyone looking for a fantastic swimming instructor!

About Novica S.

I'm Novica. Swimming has been a part of my life for over 17 years. As a former competitive swimmer and instructor with more than 10 years of teaching experience, I've worked with swimmers of diverse backgrounds, ages, abilities, and skill levels from young children taking their first steps in the water to adults overcoming their fear of swimming.

Teaching philosophy

I believe swimming is more than just a sport, it's a lifelong skill that builds confidence, resilience, independence, and water safety. My goal is to create a positive, supportive, and inclusive environment where every swimmer feels safe, valued, and empowered to achieve their personal best.

By the end of your first lesson, you'll have a personalized plan, improved confidence, and clear goals for your swimming journey also report for your level.
