Special Shout out to all my students that learned how to swim!

From kids to adults, it didn't matter whether they were new and had never tried or had attempted before and previously failed.

The success of my students was mind blowing.

All of my students want to keep training and I want to keep teaching them!

But while we all want to keep moving forward with our swimming, what will happen now that the pool is closed?

Stay tuned for more details as to what happens next!

Oh and if you're a previous student of mine and would like to say a quick something about what it's like to train with me, feel free to leave a comment, share, or like.

Alright till next time I'll be keeping you posted with further evolvements of stuff I'm working on!

Are you afraid of the pool because you or somebody you love may get hurt if they go in the water? Then you can feel safe knowing that I can teach you and your loved one how to be confident in the pool.

Does swimming create a sense of panic? Wouldn’t you feel better having a sense of courage swimming?

Have you been holding out on learning to swim for some reason? Then why not get started now and find the joy of swimming.

The pool can be an enemy for many if they don’t know how to swim.

Lucky for you, I’ll be around this year teaching and coaching people just like you how to find the pool safe with the knowledge and respect for the water.

Imagine you or your loved one jumping in the water knowing exactly what to do next while being safe?

What would it be like if you: breakthrough not knowing how to swim and finally had the skills to swim safely anywhere!

Introducing ST Academy, that’s right its back with a vengeance.

ST Academy is Swim Technique Academy.

I was a USA Swimming Coach and a Swim Instructor at Various locations.

My name is Coach Ozzie and I created this swim school because I’ve been teaching swimming from beginners to competitive athletes/triathletes for over 20 years.

Those of you who know me have seen me work with children as young as 2 all the way to somebody over the age of 100.

Many of you have seen me teaching children and teenagers successfully since I was a teenager.

Many of you have also seen me work with elite level athletes too who learned from my training and became coaches themselves.

That’s right, I’ve mentored and coached coaches who became swim coaches for their own clients!

That’s amazing right!

I’ve worked at a private swim team in Central New Jersey called Stac. I worked at Equinox as both a private swim coach and group swim coach. I’ve worked at the Y’s since I was just a teenager too. I’ve even worked at various colleges, private communities, and even went back yard to people’s homes to teach them how to swim. I even taught at luxury pools in NY homes for my private clients.

Yes, I was a swim coach for a swim team. I, also, coached a client to get the Gold in the Senior Olympics.

I’ve taught the unteachable who claimed it would be a miracle if they learned how to swim. That’s right, I miraculously taught them how to swim but it came from something incredible that you can also receive when you train with me. Sure it may seem like a miracle but what it really was is my experience. I know how to teach!

It's the vastness of knowledge.

The expert-professional experience I have of way over 10,000 hours which is known to be the number of hours to reach that expert status. I’ve trained way more hours than that of hands on training and doing and teaching while delivering results.

So, I invite you to sign up for my ST Academy private 1 on 1 swim coaching where you not only learn how to swim, you learn how to swim with the right techniques!

Technique matters and a coach’s ability to teach comes from having the right techniques to use.

You get the right tools to use at the right time in your development.

You get the precision and accuracy of an elite coach being right there, next to you delivering progress.

You get the safety knowing that you or your loved one is being trained by a master.

All you have to do is send me a message and let me know you’re interested to sign up and I’ll give you the details.

Oh one more thing, my schedule fills up fast because when I coach, it's obvious that results are obtained.

People will come up to me asking me to teach them or their children.

Its always been like that because when a good teacher comes in who knows what they are doing, they are gold. They are seeked and when found, held on to.

I’m giving you a heads up so you don’t miss out on the opportunity and miss out on the time and day you want the lesson.

Trust me, this is a real warning because I can’t be in more than one place at the same time when I’m doing this live.

So, don’t wait.

Send me a message now so we can get started.

Just click on the send me a message up top and we can get started!

Don’t wait.

Here is a note to those who value top level training.

Don’t sign up with a novice swim instructor without experience and proper training.

Why would you want to have you or somebody you know take lessons from an unqualified person.

I see that happen and that leads to the frustration of not learning how to swim.

When you can have an ELITE and Comprehensive, Seasoned, Experienced, Gifted, Professional with a PROVEN track of success in his clients.

Someone like me who’s been in the trenches long enough to know that experience matters.

I deliver that and I want you to have that experience too.

Don’t settle for less than what you deserve. Experience DOES matter and it can be the difference between life in the water or something else.

The choice is yours.

Sign up today and send me a message!

SIDE NOTE: Due to location where I will be and the fact I cannot be at more than one place at a time. This program is only available in specific locations where I will be training.

Sorry for those of you who I know want to train with me and are located somewhere else around the world.

So, If you are located anywhere other than New Jersey or NY, then unfortunately I won’t be available to teach you now but don’t worry because as the season’s change, so does the training I offer.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I’m not only a swim coach but a fitness trainer who can also train people online. I’ve even taught somebody virtually in swimming so don’t worry and just get back at me after where I can let you know how to sign up.

Anyway, that’s it for now!

- Ozzie

Remember to reach out to me now while my schedule has availability and book your session now!

If not now, when?
Those are the words that echoed in my dreams.

It was 3:30am and my sleep was interrupted with this burning question. If not now, when?

If you've experience not doing something you know you were supposed to, this story might reasonate with you, and perhaps inspire you to take action on something you've been wanting to do, that you haven't done, for whatever reason, and its been aching in your mind that you haven't done it yet.

In the past year, I experienced many things in different areas in my life.

I swam across the Hudson.
I started a online group fitness class.
I trained virtually using zoom both in fitness and in swimming.

I even started a live in person group fitness workshop, twice! and even created a private membership site to go with it.

All I wanted to do was be happy, coach my clients, and thrive.

But with everything I did came the responsibilities of doing things I didn't feel comfortable with like: going on camera, facing the Hudson river ferries, and even shutting down some of the things I started because I couldn't fill all the roles properly required at the same time.

That didn't stop me. What it did was create an understanding of what I've done, what I could have done better, and what I'm going to do now.

This year was all about learning and growing, in the burning truth, that creates the unbearable-bearable sensation in my gut that can fully immobilize and mobilize me at the same time.

I wish that some things felt different than how they do because going through those experiences are challenging. Its been hard getting hit hard with reality truths that hurt!

I decided to go through my own online personal training journey of transformation. One which requires me to step ouf of my shell and post this message because I've been writing and writing and practicing and not posting what is inside of me.

I've been chickening out to share what I have for every reason I can think of: Fear, insecurity, self-dobut.
Its been painful to get out of this stupid shell I trapped myself in.

I've recorded myself countless times practicing what I write and didn't share it with anybody cause I was afraid of what could happen if I did.

I've written about the bloody, gory, twisted messes in my life that I've been tackling this year with my business, my relationships, my life and these things remained trapped inside me where I could have shared it with you. Which is why this writing and posting is necessary.

In order to be me, I have to post this so that I can finally begin that transformation away from the black hole that's been sucking the life out of me.

Its not easy to write this and post it where somebody can criticize me, judge me, or attack me.

Where the battle of me that wants to stay hidden, locked in my room, afraid of my shadow is won.

I want out! I want to be free and in order to do this, I have to write this thing and let it out where anyone can find it and talk all the stuff they want...and this is when I have to be ok with it! Don't get me wrong, if somebody disrespects me, I'm going to respond accordingly because I'm not that guy that accepts unfair and disrespect in any way. I don't tolerate that because I have for a long effin time because I was afraid of the consequences of speaking and acting out against those that did things that were straight up wrong!

I get furious when I know what I have to do and I don't do it! So going back to if not now, when?

Its when I decided to say yes and do the thing that I know I'm supposed to. Its when the moment comes and I decide to be me. Its when the time comes to make the right effin choice where I go into allowing myself to be true to who I am.

Its when I decided I'm ok with being who I am. I'm ok if I don't fall under the shiny standards that others have about who I should be. I'm ok if I mess up and try again and if I succeed and thrive.

I'm going to be me, all of me, every little effin inch of me because who I am is pretty effin cool and has done some amazing things because I said YES to the moment which resulted in some cool stuff happening.

I'm ok if people don't believe me, or if they think I'm full of talk, or I don't walk the walk. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen!

Yeah, I've made mistakes in my life. I've made plenty of them but today I get to be who I want to be and be ok with it!

I am what I am as it is said, not what they, them, anyone else says or thinks!

That's the truth! The m**o truth!

So where is this taking you? I don't know but you do! Wherever that is, I hope it is to be that person that lives to be who you are. What you want to be. Who you are meant to be.

I want You to live as that person you are meant to!

The one who shouts f$% # you to fear! The one who pushes away insecurity! The one who see's self-doubt explode and become the one who knows I look effin great! I get people to feel amazing when they step into my world. I inspire greatness in others and I love doing it!

It fills me, it brings passion into my life to do this, and it comes naturally!

So now, when I post this, I did it! I stepped into being me and sharing it with you and being ok with it.

I know that if I didn't get it right the first time, I can try again where I know I did it right!
And if that didn't work, then I'm going to try again!
and if that didn't effin work, then I'm going to bloody try again harder, faster, better!

Why? Becaue that's who I am! I'm that guy that steps into life, and experiences everything at a high level that comes with it, and I beat the challenge victoriously, even if it takes me a long time doing it!

So I invite you, now, to: comment, like and share this message.
To read all that I write, everytime I write because when I do, it will inspire you, move you, elevate you towards, achieving a higher state of you!

If not now when? I invite you to do you now and remember that action is what it takes to Adapt into the real you. The you of today.

Adapt with OPTApp

Andrea Cobble thanks for the vote, some of my clients have surpassed me in physique, especially my female clientele.

Some of the women I work with train hardcore and get super fit. I love it cause they inspire me. I know I push them as I should but it's all to get them to go that extra rep they can do!
