What really sets Chris apart is his approach to teaching. He doesn’t just recycle the same lessons for everyone. He takes the time to understand you as a person and the hurdles you need to overcome in the water – tailoring lessons to your needs and your personality. I really appreciated how astute and intuitive he was as an instructor. There were (a lot of) moments when I became frustrated with an exercise and instead of trying to drill it into me, he pivoted to another approach or would explain the mechanics of swimming from a scientific angle.I came into my lessons deathly afraid of swimming, practically acting as if I could drown in the shallow end. Now I can swim and float on my back, swim freestyle across the pool, and have various methods of survival I can draw from.
Would highly recommend taking lessons with Chris if you’re looking for a patient instructor who will effectively, and empathetically, teach you how to swim!
