More About Coach Steve
After forty years of coaching and teaching at all levels of USA Swimming, High School, College, and lessons, I began mentoring and writing books, publishing DVD's and software for swimming and academic mentored education. I also speak and run workshops at ASCA, the Olympic Training Center, the Canadian High Performance Coaches Convention, etc. I am now President of Tropical Penguin, Inc. and CompetitiveSwimmer.com and publish COMPETITIVE SWIMMER MAGAZINE. I invent and sell new specialized training equipment for swimmers. In private lessons I get in the water, video, and show you what to improve. I require you use an EyeSwim for personal stroke video between sessions and that you stay in touch with me by e-mail giving me your workouts and success stories. I also require you complete a goal card. I'll send you the Excel interactive format by e-mail. My goal has been to be the most effective one-on-one coach in the world and I strive to improve in every way. I'm not for the casual swimmer or average student, but you don't have to be elite to be treated that way. I also have one of the most specialized and measurably effective dryland facilities in the sport right here in California and we sell equipment to the top Universities and other teams and individuals around the world. I believe that swimming faster and stronger is fun! I admire my client/swimmers/academic students of all ages and abilities. If you have a passion to improve I can't wait to work with you when you share that passion. With a great foundation, and only with a great foundation, will you reach your potential. But you will need to be coached as a whole person so I am prepared and trained to help you in all areas from time management to spiritual growth, from strength and prehab, to fitness and flexibility. You will be called a genius, in or out of the water. You and I will know it's simply spark and deep passionate practice that makes you the champion you will become. Mastery is on purpose and I promise to leave no stone unturned in the pursuit.
I competed in many sports, from running to soccer on the forth best team in the NCAA, to baseball and basketball. But, swimming is my true love as a coach. The fact that no one can take your success from you -- that an improvement in time or stroke length and fitness is personal and your place on the victory stand is less important than your success as a person, but that you can have both and that they are related -- that's exciting and controllable. As a biomechanist I find it simple to solve stroke problems quickly and with fun. I have coached over 100 swimmers who learned with me (not recruited from other teams) who rose to the National top 16. I have coached swimmers who have reached world rankings who learned to read the pace clock from me. Over a dozen swimmers became leaders and team captains of their college teams and now many are doctors, teachers, engineers and scientists, etc. Most still swim as do their children. My broad experience in many movement activities and education makes me more creative in making swimming faster fun.
The first thing we do is look at the goals you set for yourself. We use our interactive Excel-based Goal Card to set goals in every event, even if some events are just for training and balance. We establish the fact that you will learn to become the best coach of yourself -- with my expert help! Then we get in the water and video underwater. We count your strokes for the length of the pool. We might test 100 flutter kick, for example, to see where you are and give you an idea of how to clarify your goals and make your dreams come to reality. I ask a lot of questions to help you with the process of giving yourself and me feedback. We use our $40,000 worth of rotating swim benches, mirrors, isokinetics, and a choice of exercises on land to positively impact your ability to be uniquely successful in the water. We also share video of your races and your daily practices to make sure every time you leave a training wall, you have a goal to be better at something that ever, whether it's your timing, your catch, your rhythm or cadence, your stroke count, time, etc. In other words even from the first minute of your first session with me, we make swimming faster mindful and fun!
We start where you are and progress at your rate. You can't do this optimally in a big group. Thirty swimmers on a team or class means each swimmer get the full attention of the coach 2 minutes each per hour and most of that time your eyes and ears are in the water. One session with me is often equal to months of interaction in a traditional coaching or teaching environment. We also use Swimmunicators (walkie talkies so you can hear me as you swim, kick, turn, finish, pace, etc.) and my new invention of real time underwater video so I can actually see what I'm coaching you as you swim instead of waiting for you to come to a wall. There are some good stroke coaches who can make you look good for a lap. Experience has taught me that we have to get you into true race fatigue to be sure you can win at the end!

Justine (CoachUp client)
I had the privilege of training with Coach Steve for my first lesson this week and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional swim coach. Coach Steve demonstrated a profound understanding of swimming techniques and a passion to help improve my swimming skills.
His approach is both encouraging and constructive, always providing personalized feedback that focuses on strengths while also addressing areas for improvement. The drills are well-structured, keeping each session engaging and challenging. Coach Steve also has a knack for creating a positive atmosphere, fostering a safe and fun experience which makes practice enjoyable.
What sets Coach Steve apart is his dedication to every swimmer’s individual goals, whether you’re a beginner or an advanced swimmer. They invest time in understanding each athlete's aspirations and craft training plans that align with those goals. Their motivational skills are evident, pushing us to achieve more than we thought possible.
Overall, I highly recommend Coach Steve to anyone looking to enhance their swimming skills. Whether you're aiming to compete or just improve your technique, you will undoubtedly benefit from their expertise and support. Thank you, Coach Steve for making my swimming experience so rewarding!
Sally (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is a great coach. He is passionate and experienced with swim training. At the first session, he recorded my daughter’s swim under water and explained how to improve the technique on every single stroke. My daughter felt the session was very helpful. I will recommend Coach Steve to other swimmers.

Bl (CoachUp client)
We had a great experience with Coach Steve for the first session. He gave us lots of advice and tips on our techniques. After just one session, I felt like a whole new swimmer. His training and techniques are top notch, and we would highly recommend Coach Steve to anyone.
Ry (CoachUp client)

Yan (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is amazing! I'm glad that we get the chance to have the private lessons with Coach Steve for my 9-year-old daughter. I am so impressed by Coach Steve's passion, patience, expertise, and dedication. Coach Steve's lessons are unique, utilizing underwater video, analyzing strokes; then explaining how to improve strokes and the reasons behind, which is easier and more practical for young kids to understand. I also like Coach Steve's teaching philosophy, including building up solid foundation, motivating yourself, and building up confidence. I think this is very important for the swimmers themselves to keep and carry on with them when they move further to high school, to different competitions. Thank you, Coach Steve!

Good good
David (CoachUp client)
I had the privilege of having my two kids taking a private swimming lesson with Coach Steve, and I must say, it was truly an exceptional experience for my kids. From the beginning, it was evident that Coach Steve’s passion for swimming and teaching was unwavering. His expertise and commitment were apparent throughout my kid’s session, leaving them feeling motivated and confident in their swimming abilities.
Coach Steve’s ability to tailor their lesson to their specific needs and goals was impressive. He took the time to understand their strengths and weaknesses, allowing him to create a personalized training plan for both of my kids. His attention to detail and dedication to refining every aspect of their swimming technique, watching videos of Olympian athletes and weight room session was remarkable. Under his guidance, I felt my two kids will definitely achieve all their goals this swimming season.
Overall, the private swimming lesson with Coach Steve was transformative. His expertise, passion, and ability to create a positive and fun learning environment made for a truly exceptional experience for my kids. I highly recommend Coach Steve to anyone looking to improve their swimming skills, whether as a beginner or an advanced swimmer. With his guidance, my kids will undoubtedly achieve their swimming goals and unlock their full potential.

Excellent teacher loaded with all the necessities to learn efficiently.
Ira (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is an awesome coach. My daughter has been in a swim team for 2 years, but I haven’t seen a great progress from her yet! So, I gave it a try with Coach Steve, guess what she improved her 50 free style by 3 second only after 2x being coached by coach Steve. Coach Steve is not only teaching the swimmer to swim faster, but also to motivate them and to teach them how to manage their time, stroke and everything else that it’s necessary in their lives properly. Well recommended! Thank you so much, coach Steve! We appreciate you!!
Isaac (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is fantastic! He’s friendly and very knowledgeable. He some how makes you feel comfortable with the skill level you’re at while motivating you to become better. I seen amazing results, my technique improved tremendously, and yours will too if you decide to book him!

Yusra (CoachUp client)
We are so blessed to have coach Steve to coach our daughter! He gives her the right direction and very straight to the point. I like his way of teaching by encouraging her to show her best. She is looking forward her swimming class with him every week . He always follows up after class to give his feedback which I really enjoy:) I highly recommended him! Thanks coach Steve:)

Roberto (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve was amazing! Was very easy to work with and makes you feel very confident in your self. Teaching comes natural to Steve he’s very good with people, I walked in on an earlier session he had. I recommend him to anyone looking to swim or sharpen their swim technique.

Coach Steve is a great coach and a kind, patient teacher. I recommend him for anybody learning to swim or just trying to improve their ability.
Sharon (CoachUp client)
It was my son’s first lesson! We had a great time with Coach Steve. Coach Steve really helped my son focus on setting goals, to understand needed skills, to self- critique his strokes after watching his videos underwater, and most importantly gave him an extra fire to really want to do more than the swimmer who swims with him during practice. He is excited to put the extra effort in and to see him again soon.
RACHEL ELIZABETH (CoachUp client)
Steve is such a great coach. After just 1 session, my swimmer made great improvements. She's loving the work out and the goal setting.

I had my first private swimming lesson with coach Steve last Saturday and it was great. He was professional and patient. I am so looking forward to my second lesson.
Christina (CoachUp client)
The best cure for a long time competitive swimmers plateau is Coach Steve!! He has invented and utilizes advanced swim specific equipment designed to build speed and perfect stroke. Coach Steve formulates velocity based training, pace charts, bodyline and balance. He mathematically analyzes stroke time and effort percentages in order to achieve desired time cuts. Coach Steve has a keen eye for swim. He immediately saw needed corrections on my sons stoke from watching one short iPhone recording I made while standing on the side lines of a race. He’s the best!
Victor (CoachUp client)
We are so glad that we found Coach Steve, his knowledge in swimming is incredible, we were able to see improvement with our daughter after just one session. Very few coach would be willing to go into the water with a camera, the swimmer gets to see the video right away to see if changes have been made, that’s a great help.
Can’t wait for our next session.
Thank you Coach Steve
Adrian (CoachUp client)
Steve is an excellent swim coach. From his detailed breakdown of professional swim skills on the big screen to his hands-on patient guidance in the pool, he zeroes in on your particular needs and works tirelessly to improve your skills.
His world-class approach to training takes in not only the physical aspect but the mental toughness required to compete at your highest level.
I improved within a single session. I look forward to more improvements in my skills and abilities in future training sessions with Steve.
I highly recommend him.
Sidra (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is simply amazing. He puts you at ease and meets you where you are. I am excited to learn more. I have more confidence even after only my first session. I can't thank him enough for putting me at ease from the start. I'm ready to face a long standing fear from childhood and truly learn to swim with confidence. Thanks Coach Steve!!!

Coach Steve is extremely knowledgeable and an outstanding teacher. We have had our 3rd session and my daughter is already improving as a whole person and is now thinking about what she needs to do and be in order to be an outstanding swimmer. What I really like about Steve is he coaches from the heart and is extreme passionate about his trade. I would call him an expert in his field. Steve is results oriented. Times and numbers tell a story. He also has a sense of humor so it brings fun to the already intense sport. I would call him a serious coach and very dedicated to what he does. He also exudes confidence and intensity so if your someone that needs help in this area in the sport of swim he can help develop this as well. There are so many mental aspects of swim not just physical and as his resume says he coaches the “whole person.”My daughter has big swimming goals and dreams this year so we look forward to continue to work with Steve to achieve those.
Nicole (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve is very knowledgeable and patience with my boy. Leander said he already improved after his first lesson on breathing. Leander is a beginner and with wanting to tryout for his swimming team at school. Saturday noon was our initial lesson with Coach Steve, even though it was one short hour, we went to LA Fitness to practice more after our initial training with Coach Steve. Leander went from 2 laps with hard to catch up with breathing to 6 laps without feeling tired. thank you Coach!
Livia (CoachUp client)
What makes Coach Steve stand out is that he teaches with his heart and a lot of passion and these, combined with his skills, set new standards for coaching. Thank you for caring and inspiring the swimmers beyond our expectations, Coach!
Douglas (CoachUp client)
I like the way Coach Steve trains. He uses video which I think is a must for swimmers of all ages. It is much easier to understand what a coach is saying by looking at video as well as for a coach to really see what us going on). In my experience, few swim coaches do this. Also working with kids re goals is important.

Coach Steve is awesome, I needed a personal trainer to get me on track to achieve my goal as an ocean lifeguard in Orange County, he has setup a strict workout plan for me and declared that when I pass the tryouts he will help me by sitting on a mock interview, and he is also a super nice guy!

Matt (CoachUp client)
My 13-year-old daughter had her first session with Coach Steve. She was nervous at first but Steve's approach immediately calmed her nerves. He quickly gained her trust and began some helpful tips on how to approach her swim meets and training methodology. He used a variety of tools to demonstrate correct techniques and how to improve her weaknesses. I was thoroughly impressed with his knowledge of all aspects of swimming as well as the approach to improving her mental toughness. The value of information was worth far more than the cost of the session. I would recommend Coach Steve for the novice to the expert swimmer and we will be back again for more sessions.
Update 8/5/17 - Olivia competed in the OCSC Swim Finals the day after her first session with Steve. She shaved off 3.5 seconds in the 100 Freestyle and 2.5 seconds in the 50 Freestyle. Recorded her best times yet. Placed 2nd in each event.

Coach Steve has been a tremendous help to my daughter. She is stronger both mentally and physically. Especially helpful has been video recording her underwater and reviewing areas in need of improvement but also areas of strength. Coach Steve encourages her to work hard and always finds ways to point out what she is doing well, thus boosting her confidence. My daughter is responding very favorably to Coach Steve and his coaching style. We highly recommend him.
Ngoc (CoachUp client)
Without a doubt, Coach Steve is a GOLD standard coach. I really enjoy his coaching which is very easy to understand and follow. He has an unique coaching style. He breaks down his instruction into distinct steps. He catches whatever error in your swimming and teaches an easy way to improve and excel the technique. He makes you feel confident, comfortable and motivated at any level you are (from beginning level to competitive athletic level). Only with one lesson with him, I completely knew how to backstroke, back float and improve my freestyle. I could learn and acquire necessary safety and swimming skills from 2 lessons. My confidence in the water is highly uplifted. I love and enjoy what skills I have acquired and I have a high expectation on my future level when I work with him. I can't wait to see what new things I could learn from him next lesson. I feel lucky to work with a great coach like him. He coaches Olympic swimmers so his coaching skills and techniques are outstanding and powerful. Not only do I think swimming is a great exercise but getting to know how to swim should be also a great and enjoyable experience for every leaner. And ALLl you need is hiring coach Steve!
Victoria (CoachUp client)
Coach Steve radiates energy, passion for and knowledge about swim. He challenges the athlete to pursue excellence and discipline in swimming and in academics. He requires the athlete to send him their daily swim practices which is useful for him to evaluate but is also a good exercise in discipline for the athlete. In addition, he works on the psychological aspect of swimming to help the athlete break mental barriers. Coach Steve also uses various means to teach technical skills in swimming including videotaping the athlete and reviewing it frame by frame and then using comparison videos of world class Olympians to drive the point home. There is no room to wonder if the technique he is trying to teach is effective or not when you watch those Olympians! Finally, he has a workout gym with specialized swim equipment that most swim clubs do not have. Training with Coach Steve is really a well-rounded approach to the whole "system" - the athlete's swim technique, the mindset of a champion, the pursuit of excellence in all areas of life and complementary dryland training on specialized equipment designed specially for swimmers. Overall, an excellent experience!
Tina (CoachUp client)
My son had first lesson last weekend with Coach Steve. The way Steve trained and taught about swimming, wow! It was an eye opening for both my son and myself. We are looking forward to the next lesson.

Coach Steve is a great coach, he went above and beyond our expectations. My son enjoyed the session had had with Steve.
Steve made it so interesting and exciting with his knowledge in all departments. I would totally recommend Steve to other athletes.
Trang (CoachUp client)
My son really enjoys the session with Coach Steve. My son learns quite a few things from Coach Steve, and he's very excited to future sessions. In talking with Steve, we found him very passionate about sharing his knowledge in swimming. He also gave great motivation talks to my son. We're looking forward to a fast, strong swimming future with Coach Steve.
Brenda (CoachUp client)
My kids began going to coach Steve in April. I never new I could meet someone who talked more than me LOL :-) He is so unbelievably awesome with the kids. I have a 15 year old and a 8 year old training with Steve. I am one of those mom's who always want to be involved, but with swimming Steve takes over. It is obvious that his mind and passion is swimming and enjoys producing winners. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Alter only the second session I can see improvement in my kids. Cant wait until they start dropping those times and passing up the competition. But most exciting they are even more excited about it as well!

Finding Coach Steve was like hitting the jack pot. He is a mad scientist inventor who has built the most comprehensive gym in his own garage. He's very passionate and focused which inspires me to go further. I need every bit of it as I plan to swim the Catalina Channel with hardly any prior experience. Having Coach Steve, though, I feel gives me the best shot at beating the odds. He's an absolute character as well, never a dull moment. I highly, highly recommend you include Coach Steve if you plan to be a great swimmer.
Tony (CoachUp client)
My daughter (12) has over 4 years of competitive swimming experience and had participated and won top spots in JAG, WAG, JO's, Club Championships, and few other prestigious meets. She had numerous coaches in the past, but was totally blown away when she met Coach Steve. Coach Steve views swimming as both art and science and has designed and improvised myriads of tools/machines to help swimmers improve on their techniques and muscle strengths. In addition to swimming, he also have swimmers set academic goals, so they will be able to excel both in sports and school and become a better person. I would recommend Coach Steve to anyone who is serious about swimming.
