Alex was a great swim instructor. I improved my swimming skills in just one training session. I feel more confident being in the pool. She’s awesome!

First swim lesson with STJ, and it was great! Came away with targeted exercises to work on points in my form. There were a technique corrections that Derek phrased more clearly than any instructor I’ve heard in the past.

Just did my third lesson with Derek, and he is fantastic. I had been training on my own for triathlons and stalled in my progress. He has been able to break down the flaws in my swimming and really help me break bad habits. He sends me incredible email feedback and work outs to do in between sessions. I strongly recommend him for any one trying to improve their swimming.
