About

I am an older, experienced instructor. who's taught people of all ages in various subjects in over 20 countries during the past 30 years.

I have 23 years of experience teaching yoga (learning from significant practitioners around the world) and have taught swimming lessons on and off my whole life.

In my 20s, I coached a championship swim team, and am a decorated competitor in both swimming and triathlon.

I've continued to explore swimming, yoga, and other somatic skills near-daily since I was a teenager. A lifelong teacher. I enjoy communication challenges. With every new student, I am, in effect, learning a new language. I particularly enjoy helping others advance in the physical arts.

I would be honored to teach you or your older children. Please reach out for a conversation: +1 214/641.9077.

Best,

Eric Shaw

    Eric is a great swim coach, professional and patient. He got me through fear of water to basic and hopefully soon intermediate.

    Eric is great. I took lessons with him starting off as a beginner who is very uncomfortable in water to very comfortable as I progress with my swimming skills. All the lessons start with a stretch which is really great in making my body ready for the class. Its really nice that hes also a great yoga trainer. For one of my sessions we did yoga instead since I was really sore and that helped tremendously. Id recommend him as hell take you step by step through your goals to get you there.

    Eric is a great teacher. He relates to students well and has a great eye for assessing their needs. He pushes me adequately – helping me to achieve in a way thats systematic and keeps me at my growing edge. His knowledge of the body and how it works in the water is broad. He answers my questions with ease, and has advanced my understanding of swimming more than I thought possible. Im very thankful for his instruction.

    I didn’t think I’d learn so much in such in a short period of time. Eric is very professional, an excellent teacher and easy to get along with. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve and learn. He knows his craft very well. His wealth of knowledge is astounding! I’ve noticed a significant improvement in my swimming skill with each class, and even other people notice my posture and movement is better.
