About
SlavaSwim offers swimming lessons, private lessons, and a Swim & Gym Camp. The program includes instruction that begins with basic steps such as using swimming goggles to open eyes under water and coordinate movements. In this program, children are taught to breathe correctly starting at the very first lesson, with an individual approach tailored to each client’s needs, abilities, and objectives.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Private lesson options are available Monday–Friday in the afternoon and on Saturday during the day, with Sunday closed; individual sessions are 30 minutes.
• Price: SlavaSwim lessons are $65 per 30-minute lesson for once per week, and $60 per lesson for twice per week.
SlavaSwim is led by Slava Shyrshov, an experienced professional coach who has been studying swimming for over 30 years. He is a former professional swimmer, World Champion, and Olympian. His stated mission is to coach with a passion to help people succeed in sports and development.
The program is connected with several local charter and community schools, including The Cottonwood School, Clarksville Charter School, Feather River Charter School, Lake View Charter Schools, Winship Community School, Horizon Charter Schools, and Visions in Education, and is listed as a local business in the Sacramento area.
Parents and students have shared testimonials describing their experiences with SlavaSwim. One parent, Ecaterina, reports that her daughter enjoys the classes, notes that Slava speaks clearly and motivates students, and says his classes are worth the time and money. Another parent, Olex, describes Slava as a former professional swimmer, World Champion, and Olympian, and credits his coaching with influencing both of his children’s swimming, including a son considered one of the best athletes in Ukraine. A student, Noem, describes joining Slava’s swim school at age 13 with no prior experience and reports that the techniques and skills explained in class led to dramatic improvement over a year, with skills that the student expects to last a lifetime.
