Serving Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park, and Union Park*

THIS IS NOT JUST SWIMMING LESSONS

It’s feeling calm, in control, and confident every time you step near the water.

I guide each student, step by step at their own pace, so that fear turns into comfort, and hesitation turns into confidence.

Whether you’re starting from zero, or looking to improve, you’ll know exactly what to do, and learn to enjoy swimming just as much as I do.

Personalized Private Coaching

No crowded classes and no rushing through skills. Each lesson is built around you, so you get full attention and real progress every session.

Progress at your Pace

You will always know what you are working on and why. Each session builds on the last so progress feels simple and clear.

Confidence & Safety First

This is about more than swimming. It’s about feeling calm, in control, and safe in the water. My goal for all my swimmers is simple.
Help you swim for life.

Meet Coach John

I recently graduated from Full Sail University here in Orlando. My strong background in aquatic education started in Canada as a provincial-level competitive swimmer. Since then, I’ve worked across all areas of swim instruction, gaining experience with swimmers of all ages and skill levels.

I’ve coached competitive swim teams and triathlon athletes, and have worked closely with children, adults, and swimmers with special needs. All of these experiences shaped my teaching style that allows me to meet each person where they are and help them progress with confidence.

I am also fluent in English, Spanish, and French!

My Promise to You.

I will always offer you a first lesson for free. No strings attached. No commitment required.

This is your opportunity to see how I teach, ask questions, and most importantly feel comfortable in the water.

My goal is simple. To help you become safe and confident in the water at your own pace, in a calm and supportive environment.

If it feels like the right fit, we continue. If not, you still walk away with something valuable.

Guerina’s progress after only her 2nd Lesson

From Disliking Water to Swimming With Ease

Having never really liked swimming and swimming like a crooked frog, I wondered how I was going to succeed in my first triathlon.

John created a safe and pleasant atmosphere that made me feel comfortable in the water right away.

He accompanied me step by step in building a proper swimming technique. He is rigorous but never rigid, and he understands fears very well, helping you overcome them with respect, kindness, and enthusiasm, never pressure.

Today, at 52, two years after taking lessons with him, I can say that I know how to swim. Swimming pools no longer scare me and I even go every week.

Thanks John, I am forever grateful 🙂

Making Quebec Provincials

I swam under Coach John at Antoine-de-Saint-Exupéry High School for 2.5 years.

John always brought professionalism, energy, and a strong ability to motivate his swimmers in our early morning practices before class. His coaching had a positive impact on the entire team and on each of us individually.

His structured but supportive approach created an environment where we could push ourselves, improve consistently, and grow not only as swimmers but as people. Thanks to him, I qualified to Canadian provincials in my senior year.

I’m really glad to have trained under him.
