About Eric
I am an older, experienced instructor. who's taught people of all ages in various subjects in over 20 countries during the past 30 years.
I have 23 years of experience teaching yoga (learning from significant practitioners around the world) and have taught swimming lessons on and off my whole life.
In my 20s, I coached a championship swim team, and am a decorated competitor in both swimming and triathlon.
I've continued to explore swimming, yoga, and other somatic skills near-daily since I was a teenager. A lifelong teacher. I enjoy communication challenges. With every new student, I am, in effect, learning a new language. I particularly enjoy helping others advance in the physical arts.
I would be honored to teach you or your older children. Please reach out for a conversation: +1 214/641.9077.
Best,
Eric Shaw

Perfect! Great swimming instructor! Professional, comprehensive and dedicated to helping the learner achieve their goals.
Perfect! I didn’t think I’d learn so much in such in a short period of time. Eric is very professional, an excellent teacher and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve and learn. He knows his craft very well. His wealth of knowledge is astounding! I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my swimming skill with each class, and even other people notice my posture and movement is better.
Perfect! I took 6 classes package for swimming as a fresher without any experience in swimming before, I'm 28 year old, till date have taken 4 classes, successfully able to do elementary backstroke and started with free style learning. So far so good. Would say the experience and expertise which Eric posses is commendable and he is friendly coach to work with.
Perfect! I hired Eric as a swim coach for an adult novice with a mild fear of swimming pools of any kind. Eric was easy to communicate with, flexible with scheduling, and transparent on pricing. He suggested a great venue for the lessons, which turned out to be conducive for a learner, but he also offered to travel to a different place, if required. It took us exactly one lesson to determine that he was a great fit. Eric is an exceptional teacher. He's not your garden variety swim coach who's out to make a buck. Eric's background contributes greatly to his approach towards teaching. He is smart, calm, and his knowledge and experience shine through in every little instruction he provides during his lessons. There's an artistry and depth in his teaching which is rare, and a pleasure to witness. I was shocked at the remarkable amount of progress we made in a matter of 4 lessons. He was able to fundamentally change the learner's perception of water and swimming. We intend to continue hiring Eric for more lessons, as well as taking some Yoga classes with him later. Small things like the stretch routine before a lesson, the scientific cues, the reinforcement and encouragement during the lesson, and the progression of things being taught all made a big difference to both the learner, as well as me - the silent observer. I could also tell that he'd be a great hit with young learners, because he's able to build trust and rapport swiftly - vital when you're in a pool for the first time. Overall, we're very pleased that we discovered Eric on this platform, and can wholeheartedly recommend him.

Eric is a great swim coach, professional and patient. He got me through fear of water to basic and hopefully soon intermediate.
Eric is great. I took lessons with him starting off as a beginner who is very uncomfortable in water to very comfortable as I progress with my swimming skills. All the lessons start with a stretch which is really great in making my body ready for the class. It's really nice that he's also a great yoga trainer. For one of my sessions we did yoga instead since I was really sore and that helped tremendously. I'd recommend him as he'll take you step by step through your goals to get you there.
I was referred to Eric from a friend. Eric is incredibly patient and thorough. He doesn’t just teach swimming he teaches you how to trust your body and become more aware of your movement in the water. He’s extremely kind, highly professional, and genuinely invested in his students’ progress. I couldn’t recommend him enough. 10/10.
Eric is a great teacher. He relates to students well and has a great eye for assessing their needs. He pushes me adequately – helping me to achieve in a way that's systematic and keeps me at my growing edge. His knowledge of the body and how it works in the water is broad. He answers my questions with ease, and has advanced my understanding of swimming more than I thought possible. I'm very thankful for his instruction.
Very knowledgeable and professional. Makes swim sessions fun yet challenging . Will push and motivate you. I went from not knowing how to swim or float to being able to perform different competition and survival stokes ! You won’t be disappointed
Very professional and detailed instructor. He’s probably the best in the city!! Very kind and knowledgeable. Has patience and really knows his sport like an expert. Communicates extremely well. Each course gets better and better. You can’t go wrong with Eric!
He works with both physical and mental blocks so that we learn the skill with the right technique! He is professional and experienced!
Eric Shaw has been giving me swimming lessons . He is patient and knows how to guide me correctly so I can make progress . Highly recommend!!
He is an exceptional swim instructor. From the first lesson, he demonstrated a deep understanding of swimming techniques and a natural ability to communicate them effectively. His approach was informative and motivating, creating a positive and supportive learning environment. His enthusiasm for swimming was contagious, making each session educational and enjoyable. With a keen eye for detail, he provided personalized feedback, helping me refine my strokes and improve my overall performance in the water, coupled with patience and encouragement. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric to anyone seeking high-quality swim coaching.
Eric is very knowledgeable . He would patiently go through same stuff over and over until I got the postures right .
Very knowledgeable very skilled very professional five star performance. He shows and conveys a natural instinct and making sure that the client receives the highest form of professional instruction.
He’s very knowledgeable an passionate about his craft. He thought me much more than what I paid for. I would gladly recommend his services.
Had the honor to be coached by Eric. My bf and I are currently training for our first triathlon. We met Eric at our gym while he was teaching another student. Definitely a great coach who will give you valuable techniques, great critique, and amazing teacher above all. I would recommend him to family, friends, and anyone looking for a fantastic coach.
