  • Jazmin
    I cannot recommend my daughter’s swim coach Maria enough. Not only has she helped my daughter improve her stroke technique and breathing in just three lessons (still have 5 more to go), but the progress she has made this far is beyond my expectations. Thanks to her guidance, my daughter was able to move up a level on her swim team. Her patience, attention to detail, and ability to effectively communicate with young swimmers truly sets her apart. I am so grateful for the positive impact she has had on my daughter's swimming abilities. If you are looking for a skilled and dedicated swim coach, look no further than Maria!

    Maria is an amazing coach - I've learned so much so far in only 3 lessons, and I am definitely seeing improvement in my swimming with having no previous experience. She also taught me exercises to do on my own for practice outside of our lessons. 100% coming back for more lessons when I'm in town. Would highly recommend!
  • Domi
    I’m in my sixties and although I’ve been swimming comfortably all my life in open water, I never actually learned to swim. Last year I got this crazy idea that I want to go on a group swimming vacation, and that involves swimming 4-5 km per day. I quickly understood that to do that would require some kind of training, and soon I found out I would need to learn how to swim all over again. Efficiently this time.

    This led me to look for instruction in the Sarasota area, and I stumbled quickly on Fast Swim Academy. I’ve been working with Maria for about 6 months now and I cannot praise her teaching and coaching skills enough. I can’t believe the progress I’ve made—as a woman in her sixties, especially.

    I regularly swim freelance a mile or more these days, and when I started, not even that long ago, two pool lengths left me out of breath.

    When I’m not in the pool I am an educator so I feel I have some expertise around what makes a good teacher. In my opinion Maria has it all: a visual way of communicating swimming mechanics that’s been essential to my understanding the what/why of technique; patience and caring; humor and fun—all while encouraging some degree of focused discipline.

    Maria is not only an accomplished coach but is also an accomplished competitor. She’s passionate about the sport and truly dedicated to increasing access to swimming for everyone, no matter their circumstances.
