 "Coach Valentin is one of the best instructors I've ever had in any subject...
...It was only a set of six sessions ... There were 12 to 15 people in the class - far more than I thought could be taught in any meaningful way. And yet the coach was not just a teacher of swimming but a student of teaching... 
I  will have to get used to a different identity. I thought  of myself as a non-swimmer averse to group instruction, but the coach proved me wrong."  David Berkowitz 2019 -​ Read David's whole story in an article at serialmarketer.net
