She is very professional and friendly with kids. My kids with her for over 3 years and we love her.

I usually don’t write reviews ???? but I need to write a review for this company!
My son just turned 9 years old has started swiming lesson with her since 2016, and it has been an excellent experience. She is strict on teaching, and also very playful, so kids respects her and love at the same time. She is not only teaching swiming skills but also giving advices on how to get the kids to be more interested in doing the swiming and giving appropriate guidance if kids want to be a professional swimmer. My son is an typical example because he is going to a swim team in a few weeks!!!
I wish I found her earlier, so my son could start with her earlier!

Slava helped me through childhood near drowning experience that prevented me from learning to swim. His patience was much appreciated. He was able to illustrate with examples that I’d understand. By the end of my three lessons (while on vacation), I was able to move through the water unassisted. I still have many more lessons to go, but I certainly didn’t expect to make such quick progress. I’m so grateful.

Katya is a wonderful instructor – very attentive, incredibly patient and made swimming lessons fun. We were truly lucky to have her as an instructor!!

My kids have been taking private lessons with Katya Gakhokidze for 3 years and it’s been the best experience for us so far. I was so impressed how well she interacts with my kids and other children she teaches. I love how she was flexible with ever changing moods and wants of the kids but was willing to encourage them to push their limits. Katya is very open with communication and always offers feedback and suggestions. I have seen my kids swimming skills advance tremendously. I highly recommend Katya as a swimming coach!!!! She is the best!!!!

Katya was wonderful with each of my three sons. She was very good at adapting to each of their skill levels and general developmental stages and provided the perfect balance of comfort and challenge. They grew to love swimming and were confident in their abilities thanks to her dedication and being personally vested in their success. We will miss her!

Our family has trusted Katya with our children in the water for more than 2 years, including our now-experienced 7-year-old and also our spunky 2-year-old. Katya is warm but firm, plus, safety-focused while also encouraging of our kids’ natural curiosity. She has made incredible impact in their swimming abilities and also their capacities to take direction. Our older daughter is essentially a dolphin after years of direct lessons with Katya. Our toddler is well on her way to being fully comfortable and safe within the water. And they both have looked forward to their lessons every time, speaking to Katya’s outstanding poolside manner and personality.

We would give Katya the highest of recommendations — for anyone looking to raise their child’s existing swimming ability to competitive levels or even just a parent interested in seeing their young child gain critical skills within the water.

We are so sorry to see her leave our area, but are excited to know that other families will be in her talented care soon enough!

Our son (9-11 months at the time) loved his private lessons with Katya! It was his first introduction to swimming and the pool, and she made him feel so comfortable in the water. He was always so excited for his lessons and ever since has had a love for the water. As first time parents we also learned how to swim with our son, keep him safe, and practice his early swimming skills. I’m so appreciative that we found Katya and loved our experience!

Katya started teaching my now 4.5 year old in private lessons when he turned 2 right before COVID and we were fortunate to be able to continue private lessons with her throughout the last two summers outdoors. My son loves her as do the several other kids in our neighborhood who she taught at our pool. She’s very good with the kids, reliable, prompt and a great swim instructor. Highly recommend her. We will miss her and are bummed she has moved out of CT!

Great instructor in swimming! Very knowledgeable about swimming techniques, great teacher and was able to work very well with my daughter who is now very comfortable with swimming. I highly recommend her.

I have only had excellent lessons. I have know her for 4 years. She has worked with both my kids. She was professional. Had excellent feedback on strokes. Works very well with kids. They all love her. She loves to teach and her enthusiasm for the sport is great.

Coach Slava is extremely professional and knowledgeable instructor. He has been teaching my 7 year old swimming techniques and building his resistance. He is very polite and works to engage my son in the session. My son enjoys the class and we have already seen improvements just with a few classes. I plan to keep him working with my son to get him to another level. I highly recommend him as a swimming coach.

Katya is an excellent coach! I only wanted my children to learn swimming as a helpful life skill. She knows how to work with children of different ages and she is so supportive, encouraging and very patient. With her recommendation we enrolled my son in the town swimming team and he’s done extremely well. Thank you, Katya! Wishing you only the best!!

Slava is nothing but a professional in field. A true master in his craft. Would recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve his/her swimming regardless of their skill level. His coaching style makes it very easy for you to understand and learn what he’s teaching you. A+

The best teacher! My kids love to swim because of Kseniya. They never cry, always enjoy in the process. I’m in shocked how much progress they have got!

My 3 year old has been taking lessons with Ksenia for a couple of months and his progress has been amazing. Ksenia knows how to strike a balance between challenging the kids to make them really progress fast while still making her lessons fun. Highly recommend!

Ksenia great swimming teacher, she trained all our kids to swim in no time! Highly recommended !

Ksenia is amazing, she has a way with kids, she thought both my kids to swim, and I would highly recommend her!!! She is professional, calm, patient and overall best Swiming Instractor!

Can’t wait for our next class!!! Ksenia is truly the best teacher. Thanks to her my baby loves to swim. She is caring, kind and always willing to help
Definitely will recommend to all my friends

Slava is a great swim coach! He’s great with my son and really cares about his progress! I would definitely recommend him

I was apprehensive to trust my newborn ( 2 weeks old ) to anyone , but Ksenia is so good with her! My baby loves to be in the water and is so much calmer after her lesson . I highly recommend taking lessons with Ksenia; she is amazing!

After trying several swim instructors for my two toddler boys, we are lucky to have found Ksinea. She has the magic touch with young kids. Learning to swim can be overwhelming and scary to some kids. Her patience and calmness has helped my boys relax and get comfortable and build confidence in the water. She had my 3 year old swimming independently in the water without floating device in 4 lessons. Would give her a 10 start rating in possible.

Ksenia is the best instructor! All my kids and friends kids went to her. in just 10 lessons, my daughter was swimming freely! Awesome. Couldn’t recommend a better teacher

Best swim instructor of life. We have tried so many different people and no one could get my kids to want to do a lesson let along swim. They are incredible here and make swimming fun. You see the impact after one lesson. Would highly highly highly recommend.

Very professional coach! Great with kids, my three and five y.o. loved him very much and learned very fast from him. Definitely will come back to him next time in Miami

The personal attention, patience and expertise of Coach Slava has made swimming a wonderful experience.

Thank you!

He is the best coach, he has knowledge, highly recommended

I’ve tried for years to learn how to swim, didn’t succeed. It’s different with coach Slava, right off the bat I felt comfortable and more confident. He is a great coach, very professional.

Highly recommend Coach Slava … We wasted so much time and money going to group classes. If you want your children learning how to swim with confidence, from a calm instructor who is also very knowledgeable, look no further!

Coach Slava is a fantastic swim instructor. I’m amazed with how quickly my son learned how to swim after just a few lessons with him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in swim lessons.

Slavik has been working with my 17 year old daughter for about a year and one-half. Before meeting Slavik, she was struggling to drop time in her backstroke and freestyle. Slavik listened to our concerns and frustrations and was able to analyze and clearly identify my daughters opportunities and strengths. He is patient, understanding and most importantly honest with his feedback and coaching. He is supportive but disciplined at the same time to challenge his student to push themselves to achieve certain goals. Needless to say she dropped time and made States in Class 4A this past week!!!! We couldn’t have done it without his coaching and guidance!!! If your child is in competitive swimming, I highly recommend Slavik to take your child to higher milestones because the proof is in the accomplishments of his students!! I am a believer.

Coach Slava athletic achievements and coaching experiences translate to providing valuable swimming techniques that my daughter was able to incorporate into her swimming routine immediately. She connected with my daughter really well and was able to make the session fun and exciting. I’ve highly recommend Coach Slava for anyone parents who wants their children to learned the mechanics of each swimming strokes, therefore, would make them excel in their respective swimming team.

Several months ago, I observed Slava working with 2 swimmers, I was very taken by his style of instructions with his clients. He was very patient, supportive, respectful, and professional. At that very moment, I decided I wanted to hire him. Although, I didn’t start working with right a way, I did see the improvement in the two prior clients I had seen him training, I was very impressed.

A week ago, Slava began working with me. Our 1st session was comfortable, enjoyable, and I truly learned a lot. Again, he was just as supportive, patient, respectful, and professional with me as he was with prior clients, I had observed him with.

This week was our 2nd session, it was superb, I learned more new techniques, and was able to self-concept because Slava teaching approach is “swimmer friendly.”????. I highly recommend Slava as a “swimming coach,” for all levels.

Coach Slava has an impressive background in competitive swimming. He works extremely well with instructing young swimmers in technique. He teaches at a great pace and knows how to elevate your swimmers skill. Highly Highly recommended!!!

Coach Slava is a great coach. He is very detail oriented, helping my kids improve style. I hired him for private lessons and the kids loved him. He has a lot of patience with kids, keeping the necessary toughness in order to keep the lesson on track when kids are distracted. The kids improved a lot during the lessons.
I think older kids and adults would also get great benefit from his lessons, because of maturity and the ability to fully enjoy the opportunity of being coached by him.

Amazing coach and person, very professional and patient! Love the way he teaches; he’s always doing his best and pushing us to do better!! The very technical knowledge that helps me get better and accomplish my goals. I recommend him 100% !

Coach Slava gave swimming lessons to my 5-year old son while we were in Miami on vacation. My son had already started taking swimming lessons at home, and was making some progress, but with coach Slava, he made great progress over just two weeks. Most importantly, my son really loved his lessons, and after coming back, kept asking to swim with Coach Slava again (even though his instructor here at home is great, too).

Coach Slava is a fantastic swimming instructor. I brought my son for lessons and he has improved dramatically with all the strokes of swimming. With good eye for detail Slava was able to further improve the technique and pace of my son. I would highly recommend Coach Slava for anyone trying to improve their swimming game.

Coach Slava is amazing! He is training my son in every aspect of swimming. We saw improvements in his technique almost immediately. Coach Slava is very patient, knowledgeable, and creative when trying to get my son to improve his technique. We think the world of Coach Slava and recommend him to any swim parent that wants their son/daughter to lower their times.

Nuestro hijo esta tomando clases con el coach Slava, es un excelente profesional, el niño y nosotros estamos muy felices por el avance que ha tenido en tan poco tiempo. Muy recomendado 10/10

Vyacheslav (Slava) teaches individual swimming classes for our two daughters – six and ten years old. He is very professional and organized, knows his subject, and is very good with kids. He tries to cater his classes to individual needs of each child and communicates with me on the progress of each girl after class. I highly recommend him as a swimming coach.

Slava is a great coach very professional, he is very passionate and dedicated to what he does. Glad to have him in our team!!

Coach Slava is extremely professional and a wonderful swim instructor. Both my boys have significantly improved their swimming at an incredible pace. They always enjoy their lessons and in addition to swimming, their focus and discipline have improved as well. I recommend him highly. If you are considering swim lessons, do not hesitate to contact Coach Slava.

I have been training with coach Slava for about 6 months, he is the best coach in the world. He really knows what he is doing, he has helped me improve my technique, and he has also helped me improve my stamina. He is very patient and dedicated.

Amazing swimming instructor. Very professional, punctual, always looking to improve my kids’ moves. My kids enjoy his classes and look forward for the next one. I recommend him 100%.

Wow, where to start! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not only is Slava an amazing human being – empathetic, patience and polite. But he is by far the greatest teacher I’ve had. In just a couple of lessons I’ve been able to see progress in my technique which has hugely helped my confidence to pursue an Ironman 70.3!!!

Some key things that I love about having him as a teacher!

•patience – he’ll take the time to explain things in a way that you understand and show you as many examples as needed!
• hands-on – expect him to get in the pool with you and show you how it gets done.
•he is an athlete- you will learn from the best – hands down!
•100/100 – great investment for kids and adults, no doubt

We have known Slava, for quite some time now, and his demeanor has always been the same. He always has the best disposition, understands the needs and is keen in picking up on what needs work, and provides solutions. No matter the level, my son who is a competitive swimmer, or me, pretty much a beginner, Slava is consistent in his style of coaching, and transmits a great level of confidence across the lane line. I would gladly recommend Slava, hands down.
