"The best coach, hard but really enjoyable lessons, gets great results, will get you into the best swim team if you want to become a competitive swimmer." - Julian, age 9

“James is a great instructor. I'm 18 years old and before I started the lessons I was really hesitant about his ability to teach an adult, but he has made tremendous progress with me. His teaching methods are simple but can get difficult as they go on. I'm glad I took lessons from him and not somebody else.” - Forhad Sattar, Swimmer
