About David
I’ve taught swimming since 2010 and have guided hundreds of learners—from fearful beginners to senior citizens and competitive athletes. I coached high school swim teams and neighborhood leagues, and taught at the University of Texas at Austin Rec Center. What sets me apart is my combination of a coach’s precision and a teacher’s patience. I draw from my background as a public school science teacher to explain concepts clearly and adapt lessons for different learning styles. My experience with autism, ADHD, anxiety, and diverse cultural backgrounds helps me connect with every type of learner. Families know me for creating a respectful, motivating environment where swimmers feel safe, capable, and proud of their growth.

My lessons are built to meet swimmers where they are. Each session begins with a check-in to set goals, then a warm-up to build comfort in the water. From there, I introduce focused drills that break skills into simple steps, giving students time to practice and build confidence. I teach with clear demonstrations, hands-on correction when needed, and positive feedback to reinforce progress.
Lessons are tailored for beginners learning water safety, recreational swimmers improving their strokes, competitive athletes sharpening performance, and adults seeking fitness or confidence in the water. I also specialize in trauma-informed and neurodiverse-friendly instruction, ensuring swimmers of all abilities feel safe and supported. Bilingual teaching in English and Spanish is available.
Virtual coaching is now available from anywhere.
Send me your swim video and we walk through it together on a live video meeting, frame by frame, with on-frame annotation and a recording you keep. Great for swimmers without a private coach nearby, families looking for a second opinion, or anyone who wants individual feedback their team coach doesn't have time to give.
Single-stroke quick reviews start at $49, full technique reviews $149, two-session progress reviews $269.
My updated rate for 2026 in-person lessons is $120/hour

All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with David.
Perfect! Very patient. He immediately diagnosed my issues and provided me with the necessary drills to correct them. I knocked nearly a minute off my 100m time! Super friendly.
- Sarmed was on time, friendly, a good listener, and had great insights and questions!David's response :
Perfect! I can’t say enough good things about Coach David. Both of my kids took lessons with him this year and the progress has been amazing. My 4-year-old started out nervous in the water, but with David’s patience and encouragement he learned how to float, swim across the pool, and get out on his own. Seeing that confidence grow has been incredible.
My 11-year-old worked with David on stroke technique, dives, and turns to get ready for swim team. The difference was night and day: he not only joined the team, but went on to win gold in backstroke and silver in the individual medley.
David knows how to meet kids where they are, and he makes the lessons fun, but also keeps them focused on building real skills. I highly recommend him to any parent looking for quality swim instruction.- Ryan's kids were excellent students and very well behaved during our lesson.David's response :

Coach David has such a way of reading his students' needs and how they learn to help them in the best possible manner! Highly highly recommend!
I've had a few lessons with Coach David for the purpose of reteaching me the basics of kicking and arm stroke techniques to correct past learning errors. At every lesson, I was impressed at how consistently patient, positive, and attentive he is to help me improve, so much that I'm looking forward to having more constructive, fun lessons in the near future. I highly recommend Coach David to be your instructor.
David is a kind and caring teacher. He'll go out of his way to make sure you get your strokes and turns optimal. He's been swimming competitively since a child and teaching for years winning many awards. He loves his work. You Will be so impressed and thankful you found him. Give him a try. Good luck!
I have known David for over 10 years and have enjoyed witnessing his career as an exemplary educator, teacher, coach, and mentor to youth. Coach David displays immense patience and meets students exactly where they’re at. His compassionate, people-centered style of teaching has made a difference in many youth across the Greater Houston/Harris County area. He is a skilled bilingual educator which has helped many Spanish speaking families feel at ease.

Mr. David tutored my daughter who is in 9th grade and who needed help in Biology. She had 6 sessions with David because she was falling behind with all the reading and new topics they assigned and she just couldn't remember any of the microscopic stuff but Mr. David was able to explain it to her so well. He had a lot of visuals and metaphors and my girl went from a C to an A!
