As a completely beginner swimmer Anton is the perfect instructor to help you get comfortable in the water, and to help you learn to become a confidant swimmer. He is very patient, kind, and encouraging. He uses methods and techniques that are tailored to help you learn in a safe yet effective way. He is very knowledgable on the techniques and how best to use your body to swim with proper form. I highly recommend his services!

I wanted to work on my technique and Anton has seriously made a huge difference with two sessions. He picks drills to target areas of improvement and structures them logically. He's also very patient and encouraging. Looking forward to continue improving.

Anton was so kind and sweet to my daughter for her first swim lesson (she is 5). He is easy-going and had great ideas to help her as she learns to swim. The process was easy as well to arrive at the pool, etc. booking lessons is really easy as well which I love. I also love the text reminders so I don’t forget where and when the lesson is.

My daughter swam solo for the first time which was great to see. She’s learning quickly due to Anton’s patience and skill set. Always a pleasure watching my 5 year old learn an essential life skill in swimming and she loves Anton. Highly recommend him. Andre and his daughter Alexa. Nothing to dislike.

Anton was able to quickly spot multiple inefficiencies in my technique, and teach me how I could modify them to improve my speed and ease. I used to find front-crawling a very draining technique, but Anton made it really clear where I was toiling. In addition to being extremely helpful, the lesson was also very enjoyable, and I don't remember ever cutting across the water this quickly. All of this was in my first and only lesson with him (so far). He's also a great instructor for beginners, and my friend who had come along, benefited a lot from Anton's instructions as well. Highly recommend Anton as an instructor!
