More About Coach Vladimir

Most of my experience comes from the 20 years of professional level training and competing around the globe. I've worked with world-class coaches who have passed their decades of knowledge in the art of swimming. Since 2008 I've coached kids as little as 3 years old to stay afloat to taking apart detailed technique of professional swimmers. I come from the background of long-distance swimming (10 km a workout) to currently specializing on the sprint events such as 50 and 100 meters of all strokes which involve powerful starts and quick turns.

Every session is geared towards specific drills and understanding of feel for the water. Having your goals in mind, my passion is to teach you how to move through the water effortlessly with precise technique and easy speed. While all of us have different builds and levels of fitness, my goal is to apply the basic physics as well as technical elements to develop each individual to the best of their abilities. Whether you are someone just learning how to swim or have a competition coming up, we will gain results after the first session and build from there with general fitness, nutrition, recovery and race strategy.

Client Reviews

Coach Vladimir is an excellent coach. After one session with my daughter she was able to understand the breakdown of her freestyle stroke to help her with meeting her long distance goals. I would highly recommend him for any age swimmer.

I want to give you a disclaimer before writing this review: Whatever I write, will NOT articulate how amazing Coach Vladimir is. My daughter loves him. He pushes her and clearly explains/demonstrates each drill and objective throughout the entire lesson.

To put into context, my daughter is 13 years old and is NOT a swimmer on a swim team. She plays competitive water polo and we first came to Coach Vladimir to get faster for her Water Polo Olympic Development tryouts. In two weeks, she dropped 5 seconds in her 100 yard freestyle sprint! Coach Vladimir was detailed and tailored the lesson to my daughter's goals. It was an amazing accomplishment that was also contagious to other dynamics. Along with her swim time dropping significantly, her confidence as a swimmer and water polo player in the water has skyrocketed.

I recommend Coach Vladimir without reservation if you want the tools to be your best in the water.

Vlad is very amazing. My son had few sessions with him on all strokes. He corrected what need to be corrected on his techniques and provided drills to perform after the sessions. My son dropped times significantly on all strokes! We highly recommend Vlad and will continue working with him.

Vladimir is a very knowledgeable professional coach. Also he is intelligent, thoughtful and faithful. He has a great personality.
My child improved a lot after one lesson.
Highly recommended.
We are so lucky to have found him.

My daughter has excellent experience with Coach Vladimir. Since we are in Irvine temporary, otherwise we would like to have more lessons from him.

Coach Vlad is an amazing coach. Our daughter decided she wanted to try out this fall for her high school's newly formed swim team. Only one small problem, she is a good ocean swimmer, but has no experience with competitive pool swimming. We reached out to Coach Vlad, explained our situation, and he eagerly took on the challenge. It's nothing short of a miracle what he's accomplished with her in just 4 short weeks. He's taken a 15 year old girl with NO swimming skills, taught her all 4 strokes, and has her ready to compete on her high school swim team. Even though it's been a lot of hard work, she's loved every session with Coach Vlad. We truly don't think there could be a better swimming coach out there! We feel really honored to have met Coach Vlad and thrilled that our daughter has the opportunity to experience his coaching.

So glad I found coach Vladimir for my 11 year old daughter. She is a kid, so it can be challenging finding a good swim coach that she listens to and likes. He is doing a a great job of fine tuning her techniques. It’s her second season in competitive swimming and we realized the only way she can get good fast was with a private swim coach. I had a really hard time finding a good swim coach that was available and local. When we found coach Vladimir online, I was super excited. I knew he was legit because he actually swam in the same swim team as her when he was a teenager!!!

Coach Vladimir was excellent. He seemed like he knew how to teach and could easily break things down for my daughter. If she didn't understand something one way, he'd try and explain it another way. He also reminded me how technical swimming can be.

Coach Vlad has done an outstanding job with our swimmer. After just one lesson we see a huge impact on our swimmer's ability to perform coupled with confidence. He does an excellent job at breaking down the lessons for simple and effective application. Highly recommended. Definitely well worth it!
Thank you Vlad,
Jay

Was excellent
Really helpful

Coach Vlad was excellent. He could quickly assess technique improvements and break down training exercises that were very effective. We feel lucky to have found him and hope to continue with him.

Coach Vlad is the man! Whether you're training for short/long distance, pool/open water - Highly recommend Vlad as your go to coach!
Top notch coach, that can explain complex technical skills clearly and breaks them down into manageable chunks. Vald gives great guidance on how to execute on drills to strengthen particular areas, what skills to focus on to get the biggest gains and does it all with great conversation and a smile on his face.

Coach Vladimir is able to explain the finer points of swimming technique using simple concepts that are easily translatable into corrections and modifications by the swimmer. I would recommend Coach Vladimir to anyone at any level looking to improve his or her swimming.

Great coach! Very helpful with my boys!

Fantastic sessions focused on technique, speed and fitness

Coach Vlad is a great coach! Very happy with his lesson.

Very professional coaching session with coach Morozov!

Coach Vlad was very thorough during the session and gave a lot of feedback that I can work on. Definitely will keep working with him!

Coach Vladimir is an amazing man and he proved to be a natural at coaching. As an Olympic medalist, Coach Vlad’s professional competence and/ or skills is not in doubt. What impressed me the most is how he found a way to impart basic water competencies on our beginner kids. My kids love him and we are so lucky to have him as our coach. Thank you coach!

Vladimir was terrific - very clear, efficient and helpful. He was supportive but continually made suggestions for improvement that have been very useful.

We are so pleased to have the opportunity to learn from Coach Vladimir! My two children had a great time with their first lesson with the coach! Both have been swimming for one year but still need to refine their swimming skills as they are preparing for upcoming swim meet and JAG. Coach Vladimir corrected each stroke with better techniques and postures and helped kids make smooth transition. Even with one lesson, kids could feel the difference in their swimming with more confidence. We look forward to seeing him again for our second lesson! Thanks so much!

Vladimir is an excellent coach! Extremely knowledgeable, professional, and patient. We’re so lucky we found him!

In one lesson Vladimir helped my boys shave seconds off their swim time. We needed a coach in a pinch and Vladimir came through. He was in the water, demonstrating and observing all while keeping our goals in mind. He was prompt, responsive and very personable. We will definitely use him again.

Vlad conducted a sprint clinic for my high school swimmers, and it was an extraordinary experience for them. His expertise and guidance helped our team improve their sprint techniques with easy to understand explanations, along with great drills and demonstrations to break down each part of the race. Vlad’s amazing accomplishments and passion for swimming, combined with his genuine care for our athletes, made the clinic truly impactful and inspiring.
Not only is Vlad an Olympic sprinter, he knows why he swims fast so he can explain to you how to do the same. As a coach, I appreciate getting a second set of eyes on a swimmer. I often refer swimmers to Vlad when they need a fresh perspective. When they come back from having a lesson or clinic with him, they have technique tips that are unique to Vlad, which I have never heard from any other swimmer or coach. I personally learn something new each time. Vlad is a GENIUS in the water. He understands sprint technique and can analyze your stroke to make you or your swimmer faster. Even though Vlad was a freestyle sprinter specialist, he was also World Cup champion in medley. I have sent him elite breaststrokers, who come back with new breaststroke sprint knowledge. If you are lucky enough to spend time with him, you will learn something to make you a better and faster swimmer from timing of the hand to timing of the kick to managing the wave into the wall. You will not find a more thoughtful and powerful master teacher and coach.
