“My primary goal is to teach students how to relax, appreciate, and love the water.


I believe the feeling of comfort in and around water should be available to everyone. My teaching philosophy centers around helping my students to embrace and trust the innate buoyancy we are all born with. ”

I was born and raised in South Africa, blessed with encouraging parents and an excellent swimming coach.

As a teenager, I was fortunate enough to be selected as a member of the South African National Swim Team. At 18, I was recruited to the USA by Southern Methodist University (SMU) on a swimming scholarship where I captained the team my senior year. During my time at SMU, I was awarded the NCAA Division 1 All-American seven times.

I am now a certified Miracle Swim Instructor, where I have coached the North Haven YMCA's Special Olympics’ Swim Team. I am also currently an Adjunct Professor at Southern Methodist University - Department of Applied Physiology & Wellness.

Sooo much fun learning how to swim with John! 100% worth the cost and then some. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up for the level two class. I love the water even more now that I know how to swim in it!!!

I’m 51 and becoming a stronger swimmer is a goal I plan to scratch off my bucket list. I found dallas swim with instructor John, today was my first lesson. The pool is very clean at the Verandah Club. John was so patient and personable. I’ve taken other swim lessons and the patience and rapport wasn’t there. I really enjoyed myself and learned aplenty. I’m so happy!!! John is helping me face this fear. Thanks John - Melanie

Coach and I had a delightful chat. However, the water heater was broken, and the pool was too cold for me. I am very interested and motivated to take lessons. So, I hope that there will be a cancellation for May, and if not, I look forward to taking them in June. Thanks, Sally Earnest

John is awesome. My goal is to swim in the ocean and scuba dive, but my lack of swimming skills and knowledge has always made me believe that this wouldn't be possible. With the value John provided in this one assessment I know that I will accomplish these goals. Thanks John!!!!
