Meet Coach Lou: Your swim coach & Teacher
I have a Bachelors degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Health & Nutrition. I have a Masters degree in Education, Learning, and Technology. I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
Certified Trainer
I’ve spent over 15 years teaching children and adults in both movement and education settings, and that experience has taught me one essential truth: every learner is different. I’ve learned how to read body language, recognize learning styles, and adjust instruction in real time so each swimmer feels understood, capable, and supported. Those years in the water and the classroom allow me to coach with patience, clarity, and intention.
Personalized Approach
My approach is rooted in breath, posture, and nervous-system-aware instruction so every swimmer feels safe, supported, and capable before skills are layered in. I meet each swimmer exactly where they are and guide them forward with clear cues, thoughtful regressions, and intentional progressions which builds confidence that lasts far beyond the pool.
Discover the Power of private swim instruction
Private lessons allow me to give each swimmer my full attention and expertise. I take the time to understand how each child or adult learns and responds, adjusting instruction in real time to support safety, confidence, and steady progress. This focused, intentional approach creates a calm environment where trust builds quickly and swimmers of all ages can develop lasting skills in the water.

Who is a good fit for Swim gym?
Swim Gym is a great fit for children and adults who value personalized instruction and a calm, supportive learning environment. My lessons are designed for swimmers who benefit from individual attention, thoughtful pacing, and an approach that prioritizes safety, confidence, and skill development. I work especially well with beginners, hesitant swimmers, children who need extra reassurance, and adults who want to feel more capable and in control in the water. Swim Gym is also ideal for families who appreciate clear communication, consistency, and instruction that adapts to the swimmer rather than forcing progress on a timeline. If you’re looking for intentional, one-on-one swim instruction that meets you where you are and helps you build confidence for life in the water, Swim Gym is likely a great fit.

On my website, you’ll see a blue “Book Session” button. Clicking it will take you directly to my scheduling page where you can book individual lessons. If you’re interested in bulk lessons or scheduling multiple sessions per week for one or more months, please send me an email, text message, or Instagram DM and I’ll be happy to set that up for you.
Plan on being 5 minutes early to every lesson to ensure a smooth start! For your swim lessons, please bring a swimsuit, towel, and goggles (optional). I also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated either during or after. For younger children, swim diapers are required. No regular diapers are allowed in the pool. If you have long hair, a swim cap can be helpful but is not required. All other equipment needed for lessons will be provided. There is a restroom available and I ask that you try your best to see if your child will use the restroom prior to beginning the lesson.
Water fear is completely normal, and I specialize in helping swimmers work through it. I use a gentle, patient approach that builds trust at each child’s pace, never forcing participation and always prioritizing safety and comfort. Many of my most confident swimmers began their journey feeling unsure in the water.
I offer both group and private lessons. Group lessons, typically 4–6 swimmers, are great for building confidence and social skills while learning alongside peers. Private lessons provide one-on-one attention for more individualized goals or faster progression, and I also offer semi-private lessons for 2–3 swimmers who want to learn together. I strongly recommend private lessons for hesistant swimmes.
Yes, I do. Writing swim workouts and individualized training plans is one of my strongest skill sets. I design structured programs for competitive swimmers that focus on technique, efficiency, pacing, breath control, and race specific conditioning. Each plan is tailored to the swimmer’s age, season, goals, and current ability, whether they are working toward time cuts, preparing for meets, or refining stroke mechanics. My programming balances intentional volume, purposeful recovery, and clear coaching cues so swimmers build speed, confidence, and consistency in the water.
I schedule lessons in 20 minute time blocks. You can do a 20 minute lesson, a 40 minute lesson, a 60 minute lesson, an 80 minute lesson, a 100 minute lesson, or a 120 minute lesson. What do I recommend? The younger the studen = the shorter the lesson so their engangement remains strong.
I teach swimmers at every stage of life, from parent–tot classes starting around 10 months old through children, teens, and adults. I also work with competitive swimmers, triathletes, and Ironman athletes who are looking to improve technique, efficiency, and performance.
Getting in the water with your child is always optional and completely up to you. I follow both the parent’s preference and the child’s comfort level. Some children feel more confident with a parent nearby, while others do best working one on one with me. I adjust as needed throughout the lesson to support safety, confidence, and steady progress.
