About Swimming Lessons
My Way of Teaching
I keep things straight - just show up and do the work, no excuses. Doesn’t matter if it’s raining or if it’s 5 in the morning. I push you, but I’m right there with you, whether you’re a four-year-old getting into the pool for the first time or someone chasing a national medal. Discipline and fun go hand in hand here.
Who Gets in the Water With Me
- Kids (age 4+): First thing is always water safety. We make it playful - front flips, underwater games, somersaults. Yeah, sometimes the little ones say I’m a bit scary, but they love it when they nail something new. Every bit of progress gets celebrated.
- Adults: Never too late. Our adult beginner swim classes are full of people trying things for the first time, just like me. You’ll find a solid bunch of folks here, cheering each other on as you master things like flip turns or just getting through a lap without stopping.
- Competitive swimmers: If racing is your thing, I’ll get you on the pathway from basic lessons to proper competitive stroke improvement. We’ve got squads for each level - be ready for early mornings and hard sets.
More Than Just Swimming
For me, it’s not about how fast you go, but who you become in the process. Swim with us, and you’ll find a community, not just a pool. Here, everyone learns grit, how to be a team player, and how to push past their limits. We swim together, win together.

My Story
Hey, Venkat here. Pool’s been my second home for 20 years—swimmer, coach, now just a guy who loves a challenge. Took my first break, tried aerial yoga at 40, did a handstand or two, even danced. Why not, right? I’m all about pushing limits, not just mine, but everyone’s. My students, they’re like family. We cheer at 5am, rain or shine. It’s the effort that counts, not just medals.
My Work
Swimming for All Ages - I coach everyone—kids, adults, masters, even triathletes. Building skill and water confidence is the goal.
Playful Pool Sessions - We do flips, handstands, and my classic cap drop. Learning’s fun, and you’ll get water-confident through play.
Technique Matters - We break down backstroke starts, dives, stretching, and more. I demo, you try, we repeat till it clicks.
Beyond Just Swimming - It’s about full-body aquatic fitness—strength, flexibility, and conditioning, in and out of water.
Team Spirit - Join our crew, NMSA Marlins or Jellyfish. We show up for each other, always. That’s the vibe.
