I have been swimming from the time I was an infant in "Mommy-n-Me" classes, to more recently as a swim coach at pools such as Goldfish Swim School and Camp Mary Orton, with experience teaching kids from ages 3 months- 15 years old. I'm a certified lifeguard with Red Cross, with CPR, AED, and First Aid skills, and a certified swim instructor with a WSI, so your kids will be in safe hands. My favorite skills to teach are advanced strokes such as butterfly and breaststroke, but I can teach all swim skills with just as much enthusiasm!
"So much swimming skill progression in the first lesson. Thank you coach Lourie for teaching my son. Looking forward to continuing learning with you.

"My tennis lessons with Eshan have been great. I am a complete adult beginner who wants to be able to play tennis with several colleagues for fun. We started learning the different racket grips, forehand and backhand swings and serves. We moved onto different drills to better improve my skills. After several lessons I was able to rally back and forth with my colleagues. He gives me the appropriate amount of feedback without overwhelming me with information. I am looking forward to continuing my lessons and further improving my skills. Eshan has a great balance of making the lessons fun while also pushing me to improve.

"I’ve been working with Coach Cam for a couple of years now and he is honestly the reason that I’ve committed to a division one school for basketball
Cameron
For three decades, I've cultivated a love for soccer playing myself, and that passion has transferred into 15 years of coaching players of all levels, especially premier competitive athletes who were rookies when they met me. My coaching is the most comprehensive, systematic, all-angle training where I meet the athlete where they're at and help them steadily improve with confidence and ease. They'll get better with all forms of skill development, from touch to ball work to turning to making moves they never knew they could do. Let's make your kids rise in talent and up the ranks!
"My son Jim is in high school and was focusing on trying out for his team in Seattle. They play against some top-tier teams, like Lincoln. Pavel does what our premier coaches don't do. He focused on my son's skill, from start to finish, from many angles. One particular drill involved five different stations, all well thought of, with different skills tested. When my son went back he felt like he could navigate high pressure situations, with many defenders coming at him. I've seen my son change before my eyes, and it's fantastic. I highly recommend Pavel
Pavel

He is a great coach that made me like and love to play soccer for my community and my school. Thanks to his help.

I’ve been swimming competitively since I was 7 years old, and I have a deep passion for being in the water. As an instructor, I’m hands-on and prefer to be in the water with my students, providing personalized guidance and demonstrations. I’m a visual learner,and I find that showing techniques is an effective way to teach. I’ll start with the fundamentals, but I can also tailor my instruction to your current skill level. My approach is patient and deliberate, ensuring that everyone feels at ease

With over 25 years dedicated to basketball, I blend strategic insight with enthusiastic instruction. I empower athletes to elevate their game through personalized training, fostering both skill and confidence. My commitment is to help you achieve your full potential on the court. I grew up in the paint as a power forward, battling under the rim, setting hard screens, and grabbing every rebound I could get my hands on. Then my growth spurt slowed, and my game had to evolve. I transitioned into a traditional point guard, learning how to control tempo, read defenses, and set my teammates up for success. That shift gave me something most players never get — firsthand experience playing both big and small positions, front court and back court. Because of that, I teach the game from every angle. I can break down post footwork for a forward, explain defensive rotations like a coach, or fine-tune ball handling and court vision for a guard. I understand not just what works, but why it works, and how to adapt it to any body type or skill level. Off the court, I approach conditioning like a scientist. I know how the body moves, recovers, and builds strength for basketball-specific performance. My training blends court skills with smart physical preparation so you’re faster, stronger, and able to outlast your competition. Whether you want to tighten your handle, develop a deadly midrange, dominate in the paint, or improve your stamina, I’ll help you build a complete game that fits who you are as a player.
