Vesna S.

Aleksandr (CoachUp client)

Good detailed explanation, attention to details. Lots of things to work on at the end of the session. She provided the ways to improve and now we just have to work to implement all the recommendations

Crystal (CoachUp client)

We have only completed 1 of our 3 scheduled sessions with Coach V and I am thoroughly IMPRESSED! She is extremely knowledgeable and worked very well with my son. I came into the session assuming this would be a one time 3 session purchase and I left mentally making commitments for continued work with her going forward. She is THAT good. I highly recommend.

Jared (CoachUp client)

Coach V is an exceptionally skilled swimming instructor. I went from an average to below average freestyle swimmer with no experience or technique swimming to fluent in all four disciplines. Every step of the way coach V was able to point out the many flaws in my technique and provided value added critiques to improve my form. I will be a lifelong swimmer and plan to use coach Vesna every several months to ensure my form doesn’t stray too far from right. I highly recommend.

Melanie (CoachUp client)

Incredible experience with Coach Vesna! I know she is just what we need to take my child's swimming to the next level. Amazing attention to detail along with patience and wonderful demonstration of proper technique. She's excellent with kids....my child was enthralled with her. I'm so glad we found Vesna!!!

Karen (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is amazing. My 16 year old son left the 1st one hour session with all these tips that is going to help transform his swimming. Don’t think twice…..book a session!

My daughter absolutely loves learning from you. In the short amount of time that she has trained with you, she has been able to drop time on her strokes. We absolutely think you are top-notch and the best coach she has ever had! Incredible coach!

Coach Vesna does a wonderful job helping to correctly teach the strokes, fine-tune them, and pinpoint exactly what each swimmer needs to improve. She is an expert swimmer, and she’s fantastic at being able to translate her expertise to the athletes she coaches, no matter their skill level.

Tom (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is great. Perfect for any level athlete. How can you go wrong with an Olympic athlete. Best instructor/coach we have ever had!!!

Dawn (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna has been helping my daughter with her stroke techniques and training. She enjoys working with her tremendously and can feel the difference in her swimming.

Marcia (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was really attentive to my child’s needs. She was able to help my daughter with her butterfly technique, turns, and freestyle. It was an awesome experience for my daughter, we wish we lived closer, so then we could practice more often with Coach Vesna☺️! Thank you for all your help and attention!

Nicole (CoachUp client)

My 16 year old daughter has been taking lessons from Coach Vesna now for a few months. She has helped so much with her technique and strokes and is very knowledgeable. So thankful to have found her! She has been my daughters saving grace and is totally forth the 2 hour drive to meet with her! I highly recommend Coach Vesna!

Brenna (CoachUp client)

My daughter is a high school swimmer. We reached out to Coach Vensa to help with technique. My daughter was thrilled with the lesson. She said Coach Vensa was extremely helpful and great at explaining things. I feel confident Coach Vensa will help my daughter meet her goals!

Ashley (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna has been outstanding since the beginning. She connects personally with her students, puts them at ease with her encouraging manner, and provides skillful instruction during a session. My daughter appreciates how Vesna patiently and carefully explains how to do a stroke and gives her videos and drills. We cannot believe the progress our daughter has made over the past few months. We highly recommend Vesna for swimmers at any level.

Katie (CoachUp client)

We could not be more pleased with Coach Vesna. She is the perfect coach for my daughter. She is technical, kind and very smart about all aspects of swimming. We appreciate all that she is doing to encourage my daughter to be her very best in the sport that she loves so much.

Desmond (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna has been pleasant surprise as this is my first time hiring a one-on one coach for my daughter. My kid is shy so she is not easiest to work with in terms of communicating her comfort level, however Coach has remained patient and explains technique in terms of her level of understanding. The communication has also been detailed and useful.

Kim (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was amazing! Although my daughter had prior swimming experience she was not an expert in her strokes. Coach Vesna listened to her goals and was very patient with her. She gave detailed instructions and was very hands on. Coach Vesna did not just stand by the pool side and yell as some coaches do, she gets in the water and coaches side by side with her swimmer. I will be booking more sessions and highly recommended her. My daughter loved her!
Thank you coach Vesna!

Danny (CoachUp client)

Vesna is not only an amazing swimmer but a great coach. Very patient and extremely knowledgeable. HIGHLY Recommended.

David (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna has been great working with my son. The one on one in the pool coaching has really helped. In just two sessions I have seen great improvement in his butterfly. We are looking forward to more lessons with her.

Alicia (CoachUp client)

Excellent coach. My daughter has a better understanding of where she needs improvements and Coach Vesna reinforces each lesson with videos of how each stroke should look. She is very patient and does a good job of explaining everything to my daughter so that she has a clear understanding of what she needs to do.

Andrea (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was great. She helped my daughter make a few changes on all her strokes after just one session. She was very helpful and provided feedback. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that swims competitively and also for someone just wanting to learn to swim.

Peggy (CoachUp client)

My 12-year old is finishing his first season on a swim team. Although he swims with the team four days a week, feedback on stroke technique is limited. Coach Vesna, via CoachUp, was our first exposure to private one-on-one coaching. GREAT session! GREAT coach! She was in the water the whole hour. She watched Zach attentively. Her coaching points quickly conveyed her intimate knowledge of the four strokes both as a competitive swimmer and as a coach. Zach was amazed at the difference the very specific feedback made during the session. He is looking forward to working with her again. I strongly recommend Coach Vesna!

Juan (CoachUp client)

I enjoyed meeting and training with coach Vesna. She is very patient. She has helped me to correct my strokes, and suggested different drills to improve my technique. I look forward to my future training sessions with her.

Camilo (CoachUp client)

My Coaching session with coach Vesna was extremely productive. It's great to get hands-on advice and in-water examples from a professional. It makes learning more efficient. I highly recommend her.

Porscha (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna Did a great job! Her stroke improved and all 3 of her coaches noticed the very next day. Vesna had pointed out small details that matter for her stroke and flip turns, she explained how the changes would make a difference so my daughter would continue to implement them. During the session Vesna explained the significance of the some of the drills they did and what my daughter should develop from them. Once my daughter understood the "why", her attention and focus during regular swim practice drills has really improved. While the main thing that I cared about is that her confidence is beginning to blossom

Kathleen (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was excellent with my son (10 years old). She is very personable, professional and clear with her instructions. My son said she made the lesson a lot of fun and after one lesson he felt he learned a lot and is eager for another session which we'll definitely book. At the end of the lesson she communicated with me her honest assessment of areas he is strong in and areas where improvement is needed. We are looking forward to working with Vesna again soon.

Tony (CoachUp client)

Vesna was wonderful, my 12 year old daughter is year round swimmer who practices 3-4 times a week. So she gets plenty of laps to improve her stamina; however, very little is done to improve the various stroke techniques or correct bad habits. Within the first session Vesna greatly improved her freestyle stroke and has begun to work on her breast stroke kick which is her weakest stroke. The truly great thing about Vesna is, she is in the pool with them the whole time. It was great to see her demonstrate the correct stroke and observe closely how my daughter performed. There was constant communication between them and it was a joy to watch them swimming together. My daughter commented after her 1st practice after the lesson how much better she felt doing the freestyle. We have already signed up for additional lessons. It is clear Vesna knows how to teach people to swim but can also teach the technical aspect for those who are looking to advance their swimming strokes.

Derek (CoachUp client)

Vesna was great. She was very patient with my boys (ages 2 and 3) and by the end of the session they showed a level of comfort in the water that I have not seen with prior instructors. Thank you!

Lesley (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna has been great. Not only is she in the pool working right along side my son to help improve his strokes, she also sends him videos.

Kendall (CoachUp client)

Vesna was great!!! Booked a group session for my 11 yr old son and one of his teammates. Vesna had great pointers and worked well with both athletes. I am excited to see how this will translate into his practices. Vesna was also very helpful in answering my questions regarding how to go forward, expectations and what to continue to work on from a parent's standpoint. Vesna was very prompt with responses in coordinating coming from out of town which made the whole experience very enjoyable and informative. Definitely worth the trip from Birmingham, Alabama.

Keith (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is amazing! My son is a competitive age group swimmer. She spent the entire first hour of coaching helping him with tips and corrections he hadn't heard in 2 years of swimming and private coaching. My son said, he had learned so much in that first hour that he would be willing to pay for additional lessons himself! She is very responsive, follows up lessons with written reviews and additional videos for reinforcement of concepts and techniques. I couldn't ask for more. We look forward to continuing to work with Coach V.

Gloria (CoachUp client)

Coach Vensa is a great coach with a lot of patience!

Kate (CoachUp client)

Vesna has been a spectacular coach for our 7 year old daughter. She is patient and fun, but also gives my daughter very constructive comments about how to improve. My daughter says she loves sessions with Vesna because she learns little things at each session to help her improve her form etc. Even though my daughter is young, Vesna treats her as someone who is up for a challenge, which we love. She knows how to switch things up too, so over the course of a 1 hour session, my daughter never gets over-tired or bored of a particular exercise. We're so thankful we met Vesna to help our daughter learn the love of swimming.

Barney (CoachUp client)

We've been working with coach Vesna for over a month now and my son has improved significantly.
He wants to swim in college and coach Vesna has been guiding him to the right path.
She's very positive and intelligent.
I would recommend coach Vesna to everyone

Gloria (CoachUp client)

Hands down coach V is fantastic. She's been working with me for two months now, and I feel like she's helped me turn my whole life around!! In just the first session I learned more than my 35 years. And she keeps teaching me something new every session, it's amazing.
She' so patient, so skilled, so fun – really such a great and inspiring woman! I think of she's you taught me NOT JUST in the pool but in my day to day habits. There are so many things you can do better if you RELAX.
When I started with coach Vesna I couldn't even do 3 strokes without stopping. I've already lost 30ibs and I can do laps without taking a break.
No doubt I recommend coach Vesna to everyone!
Thank you for everything!

Matt (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is the best coach we could have possibly found. Our 7 year old daughter has been swimming competitive for 2 years. We were looking for someone to help refine her techniques. She became comfortable with her within 30 min and had an absolutely great swim lesson. Coach V exceeded our expectations and I would recommend her to anyone.

Kristin (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was AMAZING! After numerous emails back and forth she was available immediately. I was really impressed with how quickly she assessed both of my sons strokes and was very helpful with really great tips! She was on point when she emphasized how much the shoulders rotate fully while swimming butterfly and backstroke. My youngest son had a swim practice immediately afterwards and not only coaches, but parents were noticing a difference in his stroke, kicking and breathing. She is the real deal when it comes to one-on-one coaching. My boys were excited and ready to see her again. I am already thinking of when book another session with her.

Great coach! My daughter has been pointed out several incorrect habits in her strokes. My daughter said it made a lot of senses for her past wondering. We regret that we didn't find her earlier!

Kelli (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is a terrific coach! She connected very well with my 9-year-old daughter, explaining the "whys" of all the technique advice she was giving her in an understandable way. My daughter really enjoyed the session and was able to incorporate the technique changes into future team and individual practice. She cut lots of time in all of her events at her next meet! After constantly getting DQed in her butterfly, she swam it legally and cut over 5 seconds on her previous best time on the 25 yard event! Thanks, so much, Coach Vesna, for your advice and encouragement!

Debbie (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was fantastic! She made me feel comfortable immediately. She is personable and professional. I look forward to our next sessions. I have already recommended her to co-workers!

Douglas (CoachUp client)

We have a high school junior, year round swimmer who needed help with improving turns which is keeping her from some junior national cuts. We live 3 hours from Atlanta and Vesna was great at understanding the goal of improving turns. Through several emails, we felt good that she could help our daughter. Coach Vesna spent the entire session focused on all aspect of turns for all strokes. Even during the training session, there was improvement and our daughter has seen and felt the changes in practice.
Coach Vesna was in the water during the entire session, and also provided coaching on a number of mental items that is helping our daughter.
We are looking forward to some additional work but we could not be happier with the change we have seen after just the first training session.

Glenn (CoachUp client)

What a great first session! Vesna has really made a great impression on my son with our initial session which is not so easy to do. He said Vesna provided him with so many little details and techniques to help him become a better swimmer which was truly amazing. We are looking forward to working with Vesna in the very near future. By the way, she is also a great person which is also important. Thank you very much Vesna! She is highly recommended.

Zitong (CoachUp client)

It was great training and meeting coach Vensa today. She was helpful and maximize the time to correct my strokes and speed in various ways. I would definitely recommend her and looking forward to my future practices with her.

Guillermo (CoachUp client)

Great coaching! Nicolas enjoyed the one on one session!

Rick (CoachUp client)

Our initial session with Coach Vesna was fantastic. She quickly identified areas of improvement with each stroke for my 14 year-old son. He was able to incorporate her suggestions into his daily practice routine and has seen time improvements in recent swim meets. I highly recommend Coach Vesna and we are looking forward to more sessions with her in the future.

Andrea (CoachUp client)

I was very fortunate to have met Coach Vesna this summer. She has been working with my autistic son twice a week, and the progress has been astonishing, unlike any other therapies he goes to. Coach Vesna has been finding new ways to motivate him to swim while keeping him extremely happy and interested at the same time. She has a lot of different ideas and techniques, they all seem to significantly improve him in the pool. He is only 4, and after only 3 months with coach brands, He can swim all on
his own without even realizing it.
I highly recommend coach Vesna, she is extremely motivated, very positive, dependable, and intelligent. I'm looking forward to seeing what she's going to come up with for the next session.

Jennifer (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is fantastic. My two girls really connected with her. She gave them positive advice and technique work they can use to take their swimming to the next level. We look forward to working with her again.

Dayle (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is incredible. Knowledgable on drills and techniques to help even fully amateur swimmers, such as myself, learn how to swim properly. With just a single session, I can already swim somewhat properly and with a few more training sessions on my own, I know that I'll get the basics down. I plan on returning for a few more sessions with Coach Vesna to continue improving my technique leading up to my triathlon in a few months.

Rachael (CoachUp client)

We met with Coach Vesna for the first time today. She connected immediately with our daughter. She conveys her love of the sport to the student and provides positive feedback while instructing and correcting technique. We were able to see great progress in just one session. Our daughter really enjoyed working with her and looks forward to more sessions. She gave her lots of tips to work on during her weekly swim team practices. Overall, a very positive experience. We highly recommend Coach Vesna.

Laura (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was able to immediately spot the weaknesses in my son's strokes in the first few minutes of our lesson.. I look forward to working with her in the future to help my son perfect his technique and get faster in the water. High level coaching is hard to find in our area (coaches have too many kids to give the individual attention needed). Most importantly, my son listened to her!

Cliff (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna was professional and very skilled. I could immediately see progress in my son's turns, starts and pull outs! Excited for our next lesson and to see the impact on his swim times!

Chip (CoachUp client)

I am training for my first triathlon and was sure that my swimming technique could use some improvement. Coach Vesna was very helpful in observing me swim and making note of all the things that could use improvement. She then worked with me until I was doing each thing correctly so that I would know what the correct technique feels like. She also helped me out with some drills that I could do on my own so that I could improve and be race ready on race day. She was very enthusiastic and encouraging and offered to answer any questions that I might have if I text her. I would recommend Vesna!

Jill (CoachUp client)

Coach Vesna is an excellent coach!! She has worked with my 12 year old daughter only 3 times so far, and I have see amazing progress! She gave great technique advice and worked wonders on my daughter's turns. My daughter enjoys working with her. I highly recommend Coach Vesna!!

Daphne B. (Testimonial)

My two boys have made significant improvements in their swimming while working with coach V. I am able to see that they are receiving the correct level of instruction, are challenged and most of all they love their lessons and always want to do more. I find it a big relief that my pre-schooler can swim and be safe at my pool and finally joined a swim team.
