Ms. Janice is very professional and knowledgeable. I’m working with my son, she told him and showed him what needed to be done, then observed what was put in motion. When corrections were needed, she did so in a process manner and fine tuned what needed fixing. We were very impressed with her coaching kills and her ability to manage the sessions. Will definitely book with her again.

Jorge (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis was great! She’s was very patient and encouraging. In the one session alone I gained a lot helpful information and gained a bit more confidence in the water.

Adam (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis has been excellent to work with- she is an expert when it comes to all things swimming, including all stroke types, OWS technique and sighting, and long versus short distance. I can tell you I’ve tried a number of coaches & spent countless hours watching videos online and it wasn’t until I started lessons with Coach Janis I developed the confidence and comfort level to excel in the water. In her lessons she incorporates a number of different drills to isolate aspects of your stroke that need improvement. Over just 3 lessons I was able to drastically improve my efficiency. I originally came to Janis in dire need of help with my breathing and through a number of changes that were made ranging from my kick to keeping wide arms through the pull through I built confidence and was able to swim more relaxed resulting in lower times per lap and a new level of comfort in Open Water. Highly recommend!

Awesome Coach! I’m a beginner swimmer and Coach Janis was understanding and gave clear direction and exercise during our hour lesson. Very friendly and lots of knowledge and experience to share. 5 stars!

Great coach helpful knowledgeable and enthusiastic

Brittany (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is great! She has helped me understand how I am supposed to freestyle swim in the pool and I will be purchasing more lessons with her!

Jon (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is absolutely one of the best coaches in the world. She made me look at swimming on a whole new level and introduced me to the rules and basics of swimming which in the future, I will use to improve my performance.

Jay (CoachUp client)

Janet was awesome and very caring. She gave me some huge technique improvements in just one session. Definitely booking again.

Jack (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is nothing shy of the best swim coach I could have hoped for.

She has spent the last several months helping me prepare for military selection courses. My times have decreased dramatically, but it is nothing compared to the improvement in my water comfortability. For freestyle, Combat Side Stroke, Traditional Side Stroke, and Breast Stroke, I move further faster, all while using less energy than before. I think all of my 500 times have dropped about 2 minutes with her.

Kevin (CoachUp client)

Janis is exceptional! She knows exactly what she’s talking about and gives great insight not only during the training session, but afterwards as well. Got lucky with finding Janis at the right time!

One of the most effective coaching sessions I’ve ever had. Couldn’t recommend Coach Janis enough, she has an incredible background and knowledge for how to help improve your efficiency.

James (CoachUp client)

Janis is a highly effective and straightforward coach. Her advice has within two days of our session dropped my 500m times significantly. If you want better PST scores, book a session.

Jacob (CoachUp client)

My swim technique improved significantly just from one session with Janis.

Charlotte (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is a fantastic coach! Her coaching style is world class. With Coach Janis' encouragement and precision, i am enjoying swimming again.

Coach Janis is great. Very supportive and understanding. I feel like my swimming has already improved 100 percent after just an hour of coaching. Highly recommend!

Great instructor.

Carolina (CoachUp client)

Excellent coach!!
Gives you very helpful tips !!
You will see improvements with the 1st session!

Christi (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is the best! Her drills are so effective that we see immediate improvements in my daughter's stroke. Her stroke critique is spot on, and she is so good at communicating with her athletes that my daughter really looks forward to her sessions and comes away feeling like she's improving as an athlete with each one. Thanks Janis!

Janis is the real deal coach when it comes to military prep swimming. I have transformed from a non-swimmer to a swimmer that can do the sidestroke, combat sidestroke, freestyle, and breaststroke.

Melissa (CoachUp client)

My daughter loved her. She helped her a great deal in just the one session. We intend to do more.

Mike (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis was incredibly helpful. With her instruction And techniques I was able to significantly improve the swim strokes I was working on. I am very happy to have worked with her and will book more coaching sessions.

Anthony (CoachUp client)

I had a great experience with coach Janis. She was very informative and made learning the combat side stroke possible. Highly recommend. No matter if I was in San Diego for a one week or or month as soon as I had free time I would reach out to coach Janis for a lesson. Every lesson was crucial for me to develop as a swimmer. I’m not a swimming athlete and I was able to drop my time over 2 minutes while working with coach Janis. After my last session with her I swam a 8:30. Her workouts and guidance helped me pursue contracts in the navy and open up great opportunities. I can’t thank her enough. You can’t just show up. You need to show up prepared and ready to work. Make the most out of your time with her.

With the help and guidance of Coach Janis, I already feel a significant improvement to my technique and overall fitness. She is a great coach!

Allison (CoachUp client)

I'm an amateur triathlete that's done a few swim sessions with Coach Janis and plan to keep coming. I highly recommend her for the following reasons:
1. Her knowledge of and experience with swimming - She's been swimming and coaching for decades and really knows her stuff, both the technical and interpersonal. She's been great at observing what I'm doing wrong (and right) and communicating it in a way I understand and remember. I've left every session with a few key things to work on and it's really improved my swimming.
2. Her coaching style - She's mastered the blend of "coach" and "friend" - I feel motivated to listen and respond to what she's saying but also have fun during swim sessions and know she cares about me as a person.
3. Her pool - Coronado is beautiful! It's like a mini vacation.

Ashley (CoachUp client)

Was amazing! Patient and understanding. Very helpful!

Caleb (CoachUp client)

Very thorough session! Received great plan for future training. I look forward to scheduling future sessions.

Paul (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is a highly competent and gifted swim coach. She created a wonderful training environment by providing me with positive and constructive feedback while carefully analyzing stroke. As an educator, I appreciated how Janis understood my needs and provided me with a very comprehensible game plan to reach my goals.

Sean (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is fantastic! She is clearly an experienced athlete. She was quick to mention things that I was strong on, but also to point out what I could be cleaning up in my combat side stroke. Even after one session I have a greater sense of what I need to work on and what I'm doing right. If you need help with your swimming, I don't think that you can do any better than Coach Janis!

Tami (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is amazing. She communicates very effectively with my young swimmer and was able to make a huge difference in just one session.

Shaun (CoachUp client)

It has been nearly a week since my first session with Janice. I am beginner at the freestyle stroke, with goals of completing a 1.2-mile open water swim. Janice reviewed my current form and provided basic drills on how to improve my technique. In the two workouts completed since the lesson, I have noticed an improvement in my swimming.

I am looking forward to future lessons with coach Janice.
Highly recommended!

Jake (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is a fantastic mentor. I had never had any sort of swim lessons before however, I had moderate comfort in the water. Coach Janis has completely revolutionized my Combat Side Stroke to a level that would have taken me years on my own. She also gives you the tools to properly critique yourself for when you train on your own. She is just as motivated as you are and really cares about meeting the necessities of the individual athlete. Always a valuable and productive time with each lesson.

Chris (CoachUp client)

After my first session my techique and breathing improved more than I could have imagine. I had one session before my first international triathlon (1000m swim) and I was able to freestyle the whole racw at a strong pace. Prior to this Tri, my prior tri's I would have to change my stroke from freestyle to backstroke bc I had improper breathing and swim techique. I was able to finish third in my age group and that wouldn't have happened without Janis' training. Thank you!

Christopher (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis has been extremely accommodating when it came to scheduling our sessions. During the sessions she found innovative ways to relate the techniques to me. The impact of her coaching was immediate and drastic. Worth every penny. My only regret is I didn't do this sooner.

Coach Janis was extremely helpful and very patient. I was a complete swimming novice and after just one session and following the plan she wrote for me, I'm feeling much more comfortable in the water.

Zero Stars.
Janis is extremely condescending. I'm currently in the process of reporting her to the BBB & others for cheating me out of a written workout that I paid for.

In my Granddaughter first session, Coach Janis did a great job in correcting several movements in her strokes. Coach Janis ability to communicate & patience during the sessions was outstanding. We can't wait for the next sessions

Maritza (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis is awesome! I am a newbie swimmer-can "swim" but never had any formal training. I am pursuing my first triathlon and Coach Janis has been working with me to develop my freestyle technique for long distance (1.2 miles) Janis is patient, super nice and extremely knowledgable. Janis responds right away to email/text and is punctual-professional, experienced and a great Coach. Go with Coach Janis you will not be disappointed!

Morgan (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis was a fantastic coach. Did a great job of pushing my limits while giving me the confidence to reach my current and future goals. Blew expectations out of the water. Would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their swimming.

Cindy (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis was very helpful and very encouraging. I highly recommend her.

Joseph (CoachUp client)

Coach Janis was an all-star before our first lesson! Worked tirelessly with me to find a time and opening to schedule our first lesson. Our first lesson did not disappoint! A motivating and experienced Coach; easy to work with and easy to grasp the concepts she explains. Was quick to analyze my current capabilities and integrate them with new drills to improve my performance. Brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and I have seen considerable advancement in my stroke and effort after just one lesson. Looking forward to continuing to work with Coach Janis and improving my technique and performance. Most highly recommended!

Jason (CoachUp client)

I saw improvement after only one lesson with Janis. She is a very knowledgeable and is great at describing technique suggestions in a way a student can easily understand and begin to implement immediately. Even after only one session I feel much more comfortable with my swim technique.
