Ready to build water confidence?

Hi, I’m Coach Ken.

If you meet me at the pool, you will likely notice that I am quite a soft-spoken person. I have always believed that a calm and steady voice is the best way to teach, especially when it comes to young children who are stepping into the water for the first time. I prefer to keep my lessons peaceful so that my students do not feel any pressure or fear. My gentle approach helps nervous beginners feel safe and at ease right from the very first minute of our lesson.

In my classes, I pay very close attention to the smallest details. I focus heavily on the basic foundations of swimming because I want every child to have the best possible start. Whether it is their kicking technique or how they hold their breath, I try to catch small mistakes early so they do not become bad habits later on. My goal is to help every beginner build a solid foundation so they can grow into confident and capable swimmers who truly love the water.

See you at the pool!
