More About Coach Slavik
Throughout my coaching career, I've had a chance to be an Assistant Coach at the University of Bridgeport Purple Knights Swimming Team. It has been a great experience to coach an NCAA Division II national level swimmers that were winning awards at national competitions. Additionally, I used to coach a Park City Wolfpack swimming club swimmers of different age groups. Besides that, I was running a swimming program in the country where I came from and any kind of individual could potentially become one of my swimmers. Whether it was a three years old kid or 60 years old man.
Today I am a second level USA swimming coach as well as member os ASCA and ASCA Certified. Apparently, I went through CPR/AED/FirstAid, Lifeguarding, Safety training and everything else what required me to earn a membership.
Throughout my international and national swimming career I have amassed an extensive list of national and international awards for excellence in the sport of competitive swimming. I have successfully represented Kazakhstan, my native country, at major international competitions such as the Serbia Cup where I won a Silver Medal. My Silver Medal at the Serbia Grand Prix is indicative of my extraordinary ability in the sport due to the elite competition that this international swimming competition attracts including athletes such as Ryan Lochte (11-time USA Olympic Medalist), Cullen Jones (4-time USA Olympic Medalist & Current American Record Holder), Arkady Vyatchanin (2-time Russian Olympic Medalist & Former World Record Holder), Adam Mania (USA National Team Member), Amanda Weir (3-time USA Olympic Medalist), and Fabio Scozzoli (Italian World and European Champion).
Additionally, I have accumulated over forty (40) national awards and medals at Kazakhstan National Swimming Championships and I consistently ranked among the Top-2 breaststroke swimmers in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan has a rich distinguished Olympic swimming history, evidenced by Mr. Vladislav Polyakov, 5th place finisher at the 2004 Olympic Games in the 100-meter and 200-meter Breaststroke (Mr. Polyakov competed in the 2012, 2008, and 2004 Olympic Games). Thus it is an extraordinary accomplishment for an athlete, such as myself, to rank as the 1st or 2nd best swimmer in Kazakhstan.
In addition to my international and national awards for excellence in the sport of swimming, I won numerous NCAA medals and All-American awards, broke several NCAA School Records and USA Swimming Pool Records during my distinguished career as an NCAA Student-Athlete. On the USA Swimming Grand Prix Circuit, I ranked higher than several USA National Champions and NCAA Champions.
My session plan always begins with an analysis of swimmer's skills and based on his or her abilities I create an individual training plan. After that a practice plan goes as follows:
• Observe young swimmer's potential and fulfill it
• Research more efficient ways to coach young swimmers and what swimming drills are the most effective
• Motivate the swimmers who express reason to give up during practice
• Communicate with parents about their child's swimming and practice schedules
• Review and evaluate swimmers level of executing acceptable stroke technique

My son has been working with Coach Slava on technique and timing improvements. Has been a fantastic journey so far. Would recommend Coach Slava to anyone looking for private competitive swim instruction.
Nicholas (CoachUp client)
Coach Slavick was awesome! He met with my daughter that was already swimming in a team to improve her swim techniques, and I have to say he has a lot to offer. When we 1st met ,he had her swim all strokes and he made his assessment and came out with points on how to get her swimming much better, Great job !!!

Nancy (CoachUp client)
Coach Slava has been awesome! My daughter's technique has improved immensely in the short time she has been training with him. He gives her feedback and corrects her mistakes right away, while encouraging and motivating her. She always looks forward to her swim sessions with Coach Slava.

Satyajit (CoachUp client)
Slavik is an excellent coach. I found him very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. His experience was obvious in the way he structured my training sessions and cleared doubts patiently whenever they came up. He kept changing drills based on how I progressed with my techniques and was always giving me constructive feedback to improve. He also went beyond the time booked in the sessions and his commitment to making sure that I learn was highly commendable. Top rating.
