MARINA'S SWIM SCHOOL - RICHMOND, BC

"I have three children with very different personalities. Alexander took the time to get to know each kid individually in order to find the most successful way to teach them. With my eldest, patience was the key. Alexander knew he was unwilling to learn to swim and slowly found ways to motivate him. Now my son -who never liked water much - is swimming a very impressive butterfly and never complains about going to swim class!. My middle son is very competitive so Alexander taps that side of him and tries to find new ways to challenge him and often races him. My little girl loves to learn but needs to have fun in order to remain focused. Thus Alexander devises ways to play with her while he teaches her. Alexander is passionate about teaching and has mastered a successful mix of stern, serious coaching with some fun and caring guidance.
Thank you “Marina’s Swim School"

I am an adult with no swimming experience. After 7 lessons with Alexander, I now know the basics of swimming. Though I am not yet a proficient swimmer (it's all about practice now), I thank Alexander for his patience and guidance in helping me to learn the basics. Alexander is a great teacher with a positive, encouraging attitude, and great insight on what, where, and how I could improve my various skills. He can look at my legs at the beginning of the lesson and tell if I've been running and my hamstrings are too tight! Overall, a great teacher that I would highly recommend.
