“As a pediatrician (& prior pediatric swim coach myself), I only want and also vet the very best for my patients, and that is why I refer them to Coach Jeff! I love that he is a preferred vendor for the regional center for all the children who have special needs. He is an amazing person and instructor!!”

Leesa L.

“As an educator and school administrator for 20 years, I can very decisively see that Jeff is an incredible teacher. Jeff was able to break down learning to swim in fun and simple ways while getting to know them so he could adjust to both of their personalities. His teaching incorporates best practices in education which allowed my kids to thrive far beyond any expectations we could have conceived for them in swimming. I am confident Jeff can help even the most apprehensive person learn to love swimming. I highly recommend Jeff!”

Kaitlin R.

"Coach Jeff is a miracle worker! My toddlers were so scared of swimming and pools until he was able to help ease them in in such a fun way. Now they're loving swimming and feel confident in the pool. We love you Coach Jeff!"

Sarah T.

“I had the honor of working with Coach Jeff - so patient and kind! 10/10 would recommend to anyone learning how to swim or training for competition.”

Olivia S.

"Coach Jeff has the patience of a saint. He taught both of my boys to swim. They can definitely be a handful so I was worried about how much they'd actually be able to pay attention/learn in the small group "Sea Otter pups" class, but Jeff was an amazing teacher and it's obvious that he truly enjoys his work. The boys are confident, and more importantly, safe little swimmers now."

Jennifer P.

"Jeff is an extremely experienced and knowledgable coach for ALL levels. He has the best charisma and will make swimming fun as well as getting you (or your child) progress and learn as efficiently and effectively as possible. I HIGHLY recommend!!"

Lexie K.

"Jeff helped my little ones learn how to swim many moons ago. They still remember him and his lively spirit. My son was not a fan of the water at first, but with Jeff's playful personality and inventive techniques, he became a pool lover in no time. I could not recommend him more if you're looking for a swim instructor for your kids."

Megan M.

"Coach Jeff taught my nephew this summer and he was fantastic. He taught him how to grab a breath on his back and find the wall safely. All super important safety skills."

Bob J.

“I searched for an adaptive swimming coach for my young son (he was about 10 years old then) who was not only a professional with swimming training credentials but one who was also personable, flexible, and patient.  We wanted our son to develop swimming skills, learn water safety, improve his coordination and strength while having fun and boosting his confidence.
 
We found it in Coach Jeff and happily worked with him for over two years. He has helped our son be where he is today - an excellent and confident swimmer with awareness and appreciation of his surroundings whether he is swimming alone or with a big crowd.”
