Hello, my name is Charles. I began my swim journey at 4 years old at the Dads Club YMCA in Houston, TX. I joined a competitive team at 6, and at 8, I started traveling around the US swimming all over. I taught my daughter to swim at 2 years old, and she joined a competitive team at 5. Now, at 13, she is one of the top swimmers in our neighborhood. Im a USA Swim certified stroke and turn judge. I believe the ability to swim is a basic skill everyone should learn. Im old school in that I believe patience and a soft approach are best. Every child is different, and lessons need to be adapted to each swimmer's needs. If you want your child to be proficient or swim team ready, I can help get them there.

I was one of those kids who was afraid of the water and didnt know how to swim until my teenage years, when I fell in love with it. Since then, I have always been the last to get out of the pool. Later in life, I started working as a swim instructor and quickly realized that my past fears gave me a unique opportunity to form a strong bond with kids and adults of all ages struggling with their own fears of the water, just like I was. Im able to empathize and explain things to students in a way that made them truly understand things that they werent previously able to before, since I knew exactly where they were coming from. I love working with anybody just starting out and those wanting to improve competition strokes alike!
