About Nuvo Swim
I kindly ask that you message only if you’re genuinely interested in moving forward and have access to a pool — Hi, I’m DK 👋🏽 I’m a private swim instructor with over 10 years of teaching experience, working with swimmers of all ages and backgrounds. I grew up swimming competitively and went on to compete at the Division I level, but what I enjoy most now is teaching. My approach is calm, patient, and very intentional. I focus on proper technique, water safety, confidence, and comfort in the water—because progress doesn’t happen until someone feels at ease. I work with: - Beginners who are just getting comfortable in the water - Children and adults at all skill levels - Swimmers with special needs (adapted, patient instruction) - Adults overcoming water anxiety or past trauma - Clients training for events, lifeguard tests, or fitness goals - Swimmers 60+ looking for safe, effective exercise What I offer: - In-person private lessons (pool access required) - Custom swim workout sets - Technique-focused coaching - Video review and feedback - Group lessons (message for rates) I take pride in being professional, reliable, and easy to work with. Whether your goal is water safety, fitness, or improving technique, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward at a pace that makes sense. If you have questions before booking, feel free to ask. I’m always happy to talk things through before we get started. — Credentials: • Lifeguard certified • CPR / AED / First Aid certified Safety is always a priority—for you and for your child.
Reviews
Could not be happier with Nuvō Swim! He made our friend feel way more comfortable in the Ocean. He was kind and understanding and taught her a lot on the 1st lesson. I would definitely recommend Nuvō Swim to anyone.
I am very happy to recommend DK as a Swim Instructor. He is skilled and empathic with lots of patience for adults, including those who are at a beginner level.
Coach DK is working with our daughter. He is motivated, patient, calm, and great with kids (he even brought stickers to encourage her at the end). His punctuality, clear confidence and knowledge on topic, and responsiveness are notable. We definitely recommend hiring him.
DK is very professional and very good at what he does. He is very patient and truly teaches the skills in the water and we are very happy with him and the hard work he puts in to see our children succeed
DK is a fantastic swim instructor. Extremely friendly and very patient. 10/10 would highly recommend!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Coach DK, who has been teaching our 2-year-old son to swim. Our son has made amazing progress and is now much more comfortable in the water. Coach DK is pleasant, professional, patient and has a calm and friendly approach that helped our son warm up to him right away. We highly recommend him and look forward to having him work with our other child next summer!
My son has being swimming with DK for months now. He went from drowning in the pool to proficient in all four strokes, and ready to take swim on the next level. DK is always punctual, easy communication, and kind with the kids. My son love the stickers he gets as reward. And looking forward to reach the mega prize!
DK has been a really efficient and patient instructor.
DK is an amazing swim instructor! He covered every aspect of what I’ve asked of him on my journey to becoming a better swimmer. He did not rush our class, so I was able to identify how much work I’d need with him to become a better swimmer. I am excited to continued working with DK and have already recommended him to friends. You won’t regret this experience!
