I always thought as an adult it wouldn't be easy to learn swimming. I am glad I was proved wrong! I am way better than I was in my first class. Satej is a fabulous instructor: professional, punctual, encouraging, focuses on technique, and every class is catered to get you better than previous class. A good combination of cardio and technique. I would highly recommend this swimming school!

I just wanted to write an update. Besides taking classes with Ricardo, we also took classes with Nikki and we loved them. She was fun, nice, attentive, and very professional. My kids loved the classes with both Nikki and Ricardo at Privateers.

This is the first time that we have used privateers and it's been a great experience. Nikki is our instructor and she was very good in training our kids. She was always on time. My younger son has been difficult to work with, but Nikki did a really did a good job. He over came the fear of water and he is now able to swim better

Let me just tell you how amazing this entire company is! I called to get information & Brandie was my point of contact in the office. She answered all my questions, and even went above and beyond by giving me a list of other local swimming pools and schools in my area (because I don't have a pool at home). She advised what questions I should ask other facilities; and helped us find a community pool to use!! My instructor Kelly goes above and beyond by finding us another pool to use when ours closed for maintenance so that we wouldn't miss a class. She accommodated me when I couldn

Cameron is our coach and we've had the best experience with him. My older child had been swimming since age three mostly in group swim lessons and I did not feel like he was progressing after all these years.

A fellow parent from his school recommended Privateers and I am glad we did - my son has improved greatly, learned additional styles (previously in group they would only conc. on freestyle.
Cameron also focuses on great form to improve efficiency and speed, and explains to my son why he needs to do this or do that. I could go on and on

I also feel like he balances the right amount of

Private swim lessons with Satej have been fantastic for our kids. We had stopped swim lessons due to covid for almost 2 years,and just restarted them since we moved into a home with a pool. Satej quickly assessed kids' ability and ensured their continued learning. Started with a couple of one-off classes, and now getting a package!

Enrico is a fabulous swim teacher! My 5 year old's swimming has improved so much this summer with his help! He is great with kids and makes the lessons fun for them. Thank you Enrico.

My son just told me "don't forget to leave an amazing review for Enrico, he's probably the best coach I ever had." That about sums up the experience with Privateers. We've worked with them for a number of years. Privateers coaches taught my son to swim about six years ago and this year we enlisted Enrico from Privateers to help my son get better at water polo, which was a new sport to him this year. I highly recommend Privateers for any at home lessons in the pool whether you're just learning to swim or trying to get better or trying to learn a new skill alltogether

We are 2 lessons in and see huge improvements in our daughter's swimming ability. We are very greatful to have Ricardo coaching her and pushing her (safely) to improve with each drill. Highly recommend. Don't worry about the price, worry about your child's progress instead!!!

Ricardo is an excellent swim instructor. I was very nervous in the beginning of the swim lessons due to my sons age. He is now 10 months and he enjoys his weekly swim lessons. Ricardo is patient and very kind. His cost is very reasonable and more than worth it. I would recommend him to anyone and any age group. In fact, I invited a friend to bring her baby for a group session. She brought her back for an additional lesson. I also want to add that Ricardo comes to my home for private lessons, which also eases my anxiety of bringing my baby to a community pool during the Covid Pandemic.

My 3 kids have been taking swimming classes with Ricardo at the convenience of our house for the past two summers. The kids love him, they don't want to go back to regular swimming schools anymore.  He makes learning a lot of fun for the kids!
I highly recommend Ricardo and Privateers!

My husband and I (both of us are in our forties) decided to take swim lessons in summer from Ricardo. I had no prior training AND I am not comfortable in water at all. A few lessons later I was actually swimming! The first two classes were difficult as I was fighting my fear of water and trying to coordinate my hands and feet but it gradually got easier and Ricardo was super positive, patient and encouraging during the process. I am rather proud of myself but couldn't have done it without Ricardo. My husband had taken swimming lessons back in college but hadn't swum in 20 years and now

Privateers is the by far the next Best swim school in the Bay Area. I was able to get lessons from Multiple trainers to fit into my crazy work schedule and every single one of them was packed with years of experience and the knowledge to help you accomplish your swimming goals. I even got the chance to do a lesson with the owner, Ricardo Blanco, and he truly is a MASTER instructor. His story having been teaching since he was 13yrs old blew my mind and is remarkable to see how far he and Privateers has come throughout the years! If your trying to learn how to swim and get faster results, Privateers

Ricardo is a solid swim instructor! My husband and I first hired him in preparation for our deep dive certification. With tight schedules it was important that we could do our lessons together and he was more than accommodating.
He came to our home on weekends and weekdays, being as flexible as possible to align with our availability.
We got straight into the sessions and didn't feel like time was wasted through unnecessary chatting.
Ricardo was able to introduce us to new swimming techniques and handle each of our different problem areas, while making sure the other person could simultaneously
