Request a lessonCoach Mihalis
Division I swimmer. AEMT certified.
Elite experience. Patient teaching.
He has raced at the top of college swimming and coached swimmers who reached the highest level of the sport. He is just as good at helping a nervous five-year-old feel brave in the water.
Coach Mihalis combines three things that rarely come together in one coach: elite competitive experience, professional medical training, and a real gift for making swimming feel clear and achievable.
Parents get a calm, safety-minded teacher their child looks forward to seeing. Competitive swimmers get a coach who knows exactly what it takes to go faster, because he has been there and has helped others get there.
Where he trained.
Years inside elite NCAA programs taught him what efficient technique, smart pacing and a winning mindset look like.
For swimmers who want to go faster.
He has coached swimmers at the highest level, so he knows what the top of the sport demands.
High school, club and elite swimmers train with the same attention to detail used at the highest levels. Stroke mechanics, starts, turns and underwater work are broken down, corrected and rebuilt until they hold up under race pressure.
Conditioning and pacing are tailored to your event, whether you sprint, race the mid-distance or swim distance, and mindset training helps you perform when it counts.
For parents who want to know their child is in good hands.
Safety comes first. Confidence follows.
As an Advanced Emergency Medical Technician, Coach Mihalis is trained in CPR, first aid and emergency response, so you have total peace of mind from the first lesson to the last.
His teaching is calm, clear and encouraging. Nervous swimmers relax, curious swimmers learn why each skill matters, and confident swimmers keep getting better. Lessons are for swimmers ages 5 and older, at every level.
Why families work with Coach Mihalis.
Your coach. Your pool. Your next level.
Whether you are learning the basics, building confidence or training to compete, Coach Mihalis will help you get there safely and with expert guidance.
