I am so excited to bring my passion for swimming to you! As a born and bred Buckeye, I love Ohio State Football. As a person who grew up with a fear of deep water, I bring a unique understanding of overcoming that fear. As a father, I understand the whims and moods of children. I hope to see you in the pool soon!

Hello, water enthusiasts! I'm Coach Mark, the driving force behind Blackfish Swimming, a traveling swim school that brings the joy of swimming directly to you.
From the tranquil ripples of a serene lake to the invigorating waves of the ocean, my passion for swimming knows no bounds. I believe that swimming is an invaluable life skill and a source of boundless joy. With over 17 years of teaching experience, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of water, and my mission is to share that with you.

We began working with Mark about 5 years ago and he is absolutely wonderful. He's so kind and patient with our kids and has been amazing at teaching them how to swim. He initially focused on life-saving techniques and eventually got to the point where he was teaching my daughter different strokes! My kids love him so much that they have invited him to their birthday parties. Can't imagine a better swim instructor honestly and will be legit sad when we're done working with him!

Mark has done a fantastic job teaching our son to swim and I would highly recommend him. We tried a few different instructors but none has the perfect blend of skills that Mark does. He is firm yet fun and our son actually looks forward to the lessons. Our son has improved tremendously under Mark's tutelage. Can't thank him enough!
