Experienced tutor in Swimming in Madison, Jacob offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Perfect! Jake knows what he's talking about and he's passionate about swimming. His experience shows in that he's able to easily adapt to your current level of swimming and refine your technique. I'm a self-taught, adult swimmer and Jake has taught me multiple drills that are making me a better swimmer and I'm able to break bad swim habits. He's able to assess your technique and explain/show the corrections. He's focused on helping you become a better swimmer. 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect! Jake is a great instructor and beyond my expectation. He is very professional, flexible and patient. He helped me make good progress in the first two classes. I cannot wait to have more classes and improve my skills more!

Perfect! Jake was friendly and easygoing. He allowed me to drive the agenda on where to start. By the first session, I was able to float on my back - something I have never been able to do. With each try, Jake offered me feedback and provided helpful analogies that helped me better implement his feedback. He also offered hands-on support when needed. I feel confident that with a few more lessons, I will be significantly more confident in my ability to swim.

Perfect! Jake is great with both my almost 5 year old and 20 month old! He was patient with the older one and she had such a great time that even after an hour she didn’t want to stop. The little one wasn’t sure she wanted to get in, but he convinced her to get in and was super good with her.

Perfect! I am an adult learner, and Jake has been fantastic. I have made rapid progress in just a few lessons. He is easygoing, knowledgeable, and great at demonstrating and explaining the techniques. I highly recommend him.

Perfect! I was looking for a coach that could help me refine my stroke technique and build my endurance in the water. As a fitness coach myself, I knew that I wanted a coach that had the ability to teach in a simplified manner, see technique faults, and correct them with specific cues -- Jake nailed all 3 of my criteria. Jake did such a great job with providing drills that targeted individual pieces of good swimming technique which helped give me something to focus on each lap instead of being overwhelmed. I loved that he was also very willing to demonstrate what he was asking of me. He provided so much value in the first session alone that I told him he needs to raise his rates!

For context: my experience is beginner with the ability to swim 50yds before needing a break.

Perfect! I worked with Jake for the first time last weekend to improve my freestyle stroke. Jake has a friendly, nonjudgemental demeanor, and he showed up early for the lesson. I appreciated that Jake was willing to get into the water and demonstrate; the drill was easier for me visualize in comparison to just spoken instructions. I also liked the fact that Jake took the time after our lesson to email clearly written and easy to understand swimming drills to do during the week as homework. I noticed substantial improvements to my stroke after just one lesson! The only thing I wish Jake did differently would be to spend more time on each instruction before moving to the next one. I feel this may help me to solidify how to do it properly. Jake is clearly passionate about swimming and teaching others. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking to learn how to swim or improve their swimming abilities!
