My first class was all about getting my fear of water away. She helped me with breath works in the pool. Helped me get comfortable. I made the class fun. I extremely recommend her!

Shahrzad is a great swim instructor who gave clear and actionable feedback on my technique. She explained corrections in simple steps and suggested helpful drills to improve my form. She was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and my lessons were very productive.

Shahrzad is an amazing instructor!! I had my first lesson and have already learnt so much in just an hour. She’s kind, patient and knows all the correct techniques when it comes to swimming. Her lesson plans are very efficient and goal oriented. 10/10 would recommend :)

Shahrzad is very patient and detailed oriented. She’s also calm and easy to talk to, which really helped relieved my anxiety for learning a new stroke.

About Shahrzad Z.

I'm a professional swim coach and aquatic therapy specialist with extensive experience working with children, adults, and special populations. In addition to swim instruction, I offer aquatic therapy programs designed to improve mobility, balance, strength, and rehabilitation outcomes.

Teaching philosophy

My approach focuses on safe skill development, confidence in water, and individualized progress. For swim instruction, that means meeting each person at their level. For aquatic therapy, I use the unique properties of water to help clients reduce pain, enhance recovery, and improve mobility, balance, and strength in a low-impact environment.
