Robin is an amazing swim coach and we are so grateful to have been referred to him by our friends! He is kind, patient, and quickly built rapport with my 3.5 year old son! My son runs out the door to go to swim and it is the highlight to his week, and he is gaining confidence and making great progress! Highly recommend!

Robin is a wonderful swim instructor! He is incredibly patient, kind, and really knows how to work with kids. He makes kids feel comfortable and confident in the water while still encouraging them to learn new skills and improve. Robin has a great way of keeping lessons positive and fun, and you can tell he genuinely cares about the kids he teaches. Kids really enjoys his lessons and looks forward to swimming with him. We've had a great experience and would highly recommend Robin to any family looking for a patient, encouraging, and skilled swim instructor!

Couldn't say enough great things about our experience with Coach Robin. Our son has been swimming with him for over a year and his skills and confidence continue to get better and better. He loves swimming with him and looks forward to his sessions that we even do it twice a week now.

Highly recommend! Our daughter went from being afraid of the water to now ready for the swim team in a very short timeframe. She is now a confident swimmer and is very comfortable going under the water which she wouldn't do prior to lessons! Huge transformation and worth every penny!

Robin has taught my four-year-old to be a confident, independent swimmer. My son can now safely and successfully swim across the entire pool and dive for objects all on his own. He is even doing freestyle now! My son loves swimming, and it is a huge relief now that he is water safe! Robin is now teaching my almost two-year-old to swim, too. She can now enter the water safely, hold her breath under water, and hold herself on the edge of the pool and walk herself along it with her hands. She is working on kicking, arm movements, and floating, and is very close to being able to swim on her own. Robin is a very calm, patient, and positive teacher. I highly recommend him as a swim coach!
