Alex is Knowledgeable, Supportive, Friendly, Positive and Fun
Alex is an incredibly talented instructor who makes the entire experience both fun and challenging. He ensures comfort during early lessons by allowing students to progress at their own pace, practicing patience while gently nudging them along. His friendly, positive attitude enhances swim lessons, while he covers essential core skills and proper techniques. As an adult learning to swim, we started from the basics and gradually built foundational skills through each lesson. Alex continuously provides feedback and support, effortlessly demonstrating techniques to highlight areas for improvement. I am thrilled to be working with Alex to become a proficient swimmer, and I highly recommend him.

Highly Skilled and Professional Instructor!
Had my first lesson with him and taught me a lot in the short lesson. I'm very grateful that he is very accommodating to no matter what skill level you are at. I better learned how to swim longer distances and going over different methods of treading water. In just one lesson he helped me find what ways work more naturally for me and what I can do on my own time to improve my skills. I highly recommend Alex to be you swim instructor!

Great progress every lesson
Alex was very good at overcoming some reluctance from my kids and pushing them enough so that they progressed noticably during each lesson, but not so much that they were upset. He was also very open to my tips on how to deal with my kids. My son in particular benefitted from Alex's hands on approach in correcting his form. He is almost 7 and has trouble following verbal instructions on body positioning, so I think to feel the difference in how he floats and moves through the water with Alex's assistance was very helpful to him.
