What people are saying about Doug and his swim teaching:
Hi Doug:
My son was so proud to have gained your respect and for the improvement of his skills. I am as usual eternally thankful for what you do and have done for my children. You are a great coach and a fabulous, patient, warm and loving teacher.
Take good care,
-Shideh (Danville)
Thanks, Doug! The boys get lots of compliments on their swimming and we always credit the excellent instruction they received from Coach Doug Senz in CA.

Dear Doug,
Just wanted to let you know that we LOVED Alana's first swim lesson and we can't wait for the next one.

Doug,
Thank you for yesterday, I saw more improvement in Jack's swimming in that 30min, than the last 2 summers of swim team.
Thanks,
-Brett (Lafayette)
Doug,
I really appreciate what you have done for our girls. I enjoy your teaching style and kids do too. Thanks for being such a great coach!
-Tome (Moraga)
Doug,
I learned more about swimming in a half hour with you than I did during the entire last class I took. Thanks.

Dear Doug,
We have moved to Placerville in a house that happens to have a pool. You will always remain in Rodney’s heart and memory as “the man who taught me to swim.” Rodney still wears his goggles and loves to swim. His first trip in he was a little hesitant, but within 15 minutes he was swimming great. We are in an area that has two acres and lots of room for Rodney to play and have a chance to grow into a contributing human being. We all love it here. I will send your cards to my family down there with rave reviews of your teaching.
God bless you.

My daughters, Katie and Sarah, on the first day of their first lessons, knew how to kick and kind of use their arms to swim freestyle for about two yards in the pool. By the last day of lessons, they could swim freestyle across the pool as well as do two kinds of backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke and a rudimentary butterfly. Not only did they learn to swim, but they had fun while learning. I had promised them that they only had to attend one lesson because they did not want to take swim lessons. After the first day with Doug there was never a question about wanting to go to swim lessons. In fact, Katie had to miss two lessons due to illness (swimmer’s ear) and one would have thought it was the end of the world. Doug’s ability to teach the kids, show them how to do it, his sense of humor and his unfailing patience, all contributed to a wonderful experience for my daughter.

We are astounded at Chelsea’s progress in swimming. Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication. The results are very much appreciated. See you again next year.
Sincerely,

Dear Doug,
I will be eternally grateful that you were able to turn my grandson into a swimmer.
Best regards,

Doug,
We just wanted to let you know that this will be Jacob’s last week. But we also wanted to tell you much we appreciate all you’ve done for him. You have a wonderful way with kids and Jacob has made leaps and bounds under your instruction. See you next year. Thanks so much.
