HOW MUCH DO SWIM LESSONS COST?
This depends on your preferences. Private lessons do cost
more, but the personalized attention is truly priceless. If
your instructor has to travel to reach your chosen private
pool.
Classes are sold in blocks. Lessons begin at $100 for one
lesson, followed by $270 for 3 lessons, and $500 for 5
lessons.
WHERE DO I TAKE CLASSES?
Coaches are available in Broward and Miami-Dade. We
can set up a convenient location, including community
pools or home pools.
HOW LONG ARE YOUR SESSIONS?
Sessions can last 30 minutes up to an hour. This depends
on the swimmer.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MISS A LESSON?
Life happens. Please notify our team at least 12 hours in
advance if you can't attend a lesson. Otherwise, the lesson
fee will be non-refundable, and the lesson cannot be made
up.
CAN I CREATE MY OWN PRIVATE GROUP?
Please reach out to us so we can discuss rates.
DO I NEED ANY EQUIPMENT?
Please wear a swimsuit during your lessons. Men can wear
swim briefs or swim trunks. Please do not attend your
swimming lesson in board shorts, as they can create drag.
Swimming goggles are mandatory. They allow you a more
streamlined swimming experience without getting water in
your eyes. In addition, a swim cap is ideal if you want to
avoid getting hair in your face.
Kickboards do the legwork for students who cannot always
stay afloat. Similarly, pull buoys help keep the legs afloat
without kicking.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR SWIMMING LESSONS?
Gather your equipment and set an intention for the lesson.
Have a light snack at least 30 minutes before the lesson.
Pack a bag with a change of clothes for when you’re
finished swimming.

Coach Slava is amazing! He is training my son in every aspect of swimming. We saw improvements in his technique almost immediately. Coach Slava is very patient, knowledgeable, and creative when trying to get my son to improve his technique. We think the world of Coach Slava and recommend him to any swim parent that wants their son/daughter to lower their times.

Coach Slava is a great coach. He is very detail oriented, helping my kids improve style. I hired him for private lessons and the kids loved him. He has a lot of patience with kids, keeping the necessary toughness in order to keep the lesson on track when kids are distracted. The kids improved a lot during the lessons.
I think older kids and adults would also get great benefit from his lessons, because of maturity and the ability to fully enjoy the opportunity of being coached by him.

Coach Slava is a fantastic swim instructor. I’m amazed with how quickly my son learned how to swim after just a few lessons with him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in swim lessons.

Slavik has been working with my 17 year old daughter for about a year and one-half. Before meeting Slavik, she was struggling to drop time in her backstroke and freestyle. Slavik listened to our concerns and frustrations and was able to analyze and clearly identify my daughters opportunities and strengths. He is patient, understanding and most importantly honest with his feedback and coaching. He is supportive but disciplined at the same time to challenge his student to push themselves to achieve certain goals. Needless to say she dropped time and made States in Class 4A this past week!!!! We couldn’t have done it without his coaching and guidance!!! If your child is in competitive swimming, I highly recommend Slavik to take your child to higher milestones because the proof is in the accomplishments of his students!! I am a believer.

Coach Slava athletic achievements and coaching experiences translate to providing valuable swimming techniques that my daughter was able to incorporate into her swimming routine immediately. She connected with my daughter really well and was able to make the session fun and exciting. I’ve highly recommend Coach Slava for anyone parents who wants their children to learned the mechanics of each swimming strokes, therefore, would make them excel in their respective swimming team.

Coach Slava gave swimming lessons to my 5-year old son while we were in Miami on vacation. My son had already started taking swimming lessons at home, and was making some progress, but with coach Slava, he made great progress over just two weeks. Most importantly, my son really loved his lessons, and after coming back, kept asking to swim with Coach Slava again (even though his instructor here at home is great, too).

Several months ago, I observed Slava working with 2 swimmers, I was very taken by his style of instructions with his clients. He was very patient, supportive, respectful, and professional. At that very moment, I decided I wanted to hire him. Although, I didn't start working with right a way, I did see the improvement in the two prior clients I had seen him training, I was very impressed.
A week ago, Slava began working with me. Our 1st session was comfortable, enjoyable, and I truly learned a lot. Again, he was just as supportive, patient, respectful, and professional with me as he was with prior clients, I had observed him with.
This week was our 2nd session, it was superb, I learned more new techniques, and was able to self-concept because Slava teaching approach is "swimmer friendly."👍. I highly recommend Slava as a "swimming coach," for all levels.

I've tried for years to learn how to swim, didn't succeed. It's different with coach Slava, right off the bat I felt comfortable and more confident. He is a great coach, very professional.

Coach Slava is a fantastic swimming instructor. I brought my son for lessons and he has improved dramatically with all the strokes of swimming. With good eye for detail Slava was able to further improve the technique and pace of my son. I would highly recommend Coach Slava for anyone trying to improve their swimming game.

Highly recommend Coach Slava ... We wasted so much time and money going to group classes. If you want your children learning how to swim with confidence, from a calm instructor who is also very knowledgeable, look no further!

Slava is an excellent swim instructor, with a strong focus on technique and confidence-building when teaching his students. He is a highly professional swim instructor with a unique ability to gain children’s trust and inspire confidence during swim lessons. His teaching style — meticulous attention to detail and expertise in his technique — greatly assisted our children in reaching their full potential while feeling an important sense of accomplishment. Thank you Slava for teaching our children how to feel confident in the water.

Coach Slava is extremely professional and a wonderful swim instructor. Both my boys have significantly improved their swimming at an incredible pace. They always enjoy their lessons and in addition to swimming, their focus and discipline have improved as well. I recommend him highly. If you are considering swim lessons, do not hesitate to contact Coach Slava.

Slava is a true SWIMMING PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE who will train your children (and us adults!) not only the basics of swimming, but also the entire methodology and techniques to swim confidently, and competitively if that is your goal, in all four styles. Absolutely the best swimming coach we have ever had, and we are so lucky to have found him. He means business: he comes to the lesson prepared, watches your every move on the water, and teaches you great techniques. He is 100% into teaching and coaching. Now my husband also has joined and takes lessons with him at minimum twice a week - swimming is a sport you can always do for cardio and to avoid high impact on joints as part of your exercise plan. Slava is truly The Best! So happy to have him as our swimming coach!!

Slava is an excellent swimming instructor. I can highly recommend him. He has a wide repertoire of swimming drills and has a very good and thoughtful training plan. Initially I was paddling like a duck. Now I can enjoy freestyle, butterfly, breast and back swimming with style. Slava helped me systematically to built up my technique step by step. He provides pinpointed feedback after each exercise. He will definitely help you advancing your swimming skills.
Thanks Slava!

We have known Slava, for quite some time now, and his demeanor has always been the same. He always has the best disposition, understands the needs and is keen in picking up on what needs work, and provides solutions. No matter the level, my son who is a competitive swimmer, or me, pretty much a beginner, Slava is consistent in his style of coaching, and transmits a great level of confidence across the lane line. I would gladly recommend Slava, hands down.

Wow, where to start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not only is Slava an amazing human being - empathetic, patience and polite. But he is by far the greatest teacher I’ve had. In just a couple of lessons I’ve been able to see progress in my technique which has hugely helped my confidence to pursue an Ironman 70.3!!!
Some key things that I love about having him as a teacher!
•patience - he’ll take the time to explain things in a way that you understand and show you as many examples as needed!
• hands-on - expect him to get in the pool with you and show you how it gets done.
•he is an athlete- you will learn from the best - hands down!
•100/100 - great investment for kids and adults, no doubt
