"6 months ago I was unable to swim and had a fear of the water since I was a child. I am now 65 and for the last 6 months have attended regular lessons with Slava. Slava has instilled confidence in me and has brought me to a level of swimming which I never thought was possible. He has exellent coaching techniques and has shown immense patience to convert a total non-swimmer into someone who now enjoys going to the pool on a regular basis."

"I started to train with Slava at age 50 after some disks in my back collapsed in the gym (no more running or rowing). I dreaded swimming as I don't like water! I have trained with Slava for over a year. He gave me excellent counsel about equipment and took me through routines that built my confidence and core strength (swimming is a lot harder than a gym workout!). I now swim multiple strokes and have a good crawl (which I had largely avoided in the past). Swimming is my preferred workout. My V02 Max, lung function and overall fitness levels have all increased substantially over the past year. Slava has paced me well (not too quickly not too slowly) and has given the right level of encouragement (he doesn't tell you too often that you are awesome!). I'd recommend him to anyone."

I had a great experience during my swimming lessons with Slava at the reebok club in canary wharf. He was very patient with me throughout my learning and this has boosted my confidence.
He taught me so many techniques in only a few lessons and I am very grateful. I started my lessons with the fear of holding my breath in the water while I'm swimming but now I'm panic free.

I hope you don' t mind but I just wanted to thank Kris Czarnas for the excellent tuition I received from him.
I have a damaged back which hampered learning.
Kris gave me a few back strengthening warm up exercises which meant that I made considerable progress.
Although I am not yet swimming, I have lost my fear of water and hope to pursue more lessons.
Not bad for someone who reached a significant birthday!
My thanks to all.
Best regards

I also wanted to mention that our teacher, Kris, has been fantastic - always enthusiastic, kind and patient. Lachlan adores him and will miss his lessons immensely. I would be grateful if you would pass on our thanks to Kris”
