What swimmers & parents say
Coach John has helped my freestyle stroke; he knows what works best and explains concepts like water resistance and pulling from a scientific perspective.
-Owen He
Coach John is such an incredible coach to work with. Because of his coaching, I feel like I’m not set back by my past shoulder injury anymore.
-Catherine Wang
I’ve seen a huge improvement in my 14-year daughter’s swim stroke and overall attitude towards training since she’s been working with Coach John over the past year.
