WHAT SWIMMERS & PARENTS SAY
“In just a few short weeks, Coach John has helped me improve all of my strokes so much. After just a little advice, I dropped several seconds off my backstroke time during a set. As anyone who is familiar with swimming knows, that is a significant amount of time. He gives swimmers important technique tips to focus on and helps us incorporate them into our strokes. He is able to figure out exactly what we can improve upon by just watching, which I didn't think possible before I met him. Judging by what he has done for me in such a short amount of time, I'm sure he could turn anyone into a great swimmer.”
- Mena Sheth, town league team athlete
“Coach John has helped my freestyle stroke; he knows what works best and explains concepts like water resistance and pulling from a scientific perspective. He has also introduced me to different stretches and weight room exercises to help me take the sport to the next level.”
- Owen He, club team athlete
"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. John breaks down each stroke and explains his approach, so she understands which aspects of her stroke she’s improving and then puts it all together to see the end results. Through his consistent training methods my daughter made it to Age Group Championships and is motivated to continue to challenge herself in the pool."
- Sasha Huhalov, parent of club team athlete
“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. Coach John focuses on the science behind swimming and explains the technique and concepts behind each stroke piece-by-piece. Aside from being in the water, he’s also introduced swim-specific stretches and exercises to build my strength and flexibility. In the short amount of time I’ve trained with Coach John, I can feel and see improvement in all of my strokes and I’m excited to continue training with him.”
- Catherine Wang, high school team athlete
