Book Private Swimming Lessons with Coach Elizio
Hello, welcome! My name is Elizio A. Bodden II. I specialize in High School level competitive stroke development in all 4 recognized competitive swim strokes, as well as teaching those who desire to learn how to swim at any age. Have you ever admitted your child into a large swim program, and been left overall unsatisfied? Are you, or your child, afraid of the water? Do you, or your child, have difficulty floating? These are all problems that I specialize in. I also have experience in coaching and guiding children with special needs such as autism, mute or blind. Book with me and let us both see what it is ill be able to do for you!

About Me:
I have been swimming since a young child (as young as 4 years old), I swam for a swim club in middle school and swam on the varsity swim team throughout Freshman and Sophomore year for Shadow Ridge Highschool (2018-202) before quitting in my 3rd year. I specialized in 100free and 100back, with my best times for my freshman year in each respective event being 1.01.34(free) and 1.15.88(back). The following is an existing record of my times which shall serve as my proof of legitimacy.

How I can help you improve your game:
We will pick you apart, see what is working and see what is not. We will give you simple and concise ideas to digest and practice to create a strong foundation or to reinforce the foundation you already have in place. From there we will systematically add more and more ideas/techniques to help sharpen up your game! This is all whilst keeping in mind your abilities, competency and mental stack(how much your brain is working to put everything together, too much mental stack causes swimmers to jumble steps and techniques. We aim to turn mental stack into muscle memory as we advance!)
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We will most likely start off with a small consultation, a stretch, a review of last lessons material(if applicable) and see if we are in a position to advance further in your progress. I am a hands on/in the water teacher. I will will support you and provide you live demonstrations as well as recordings of your own technique as necessary. I will set clear goals for you to accomplish and develop a stable and easy to digest learning curriculum purely for your needs and your needs only.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached both martial arts and swim for each more than 2 seasons/years, so I am very accustomed to teaching many people of many ages. I coached swim with the Centennial Hills YMCA as well as lifeguarded for them. Going into college(UNLV) I also taught a few lessons but was mainly a Lifeguard and First aid responder for the UNLV SRWC gym.
Best coach I ever had:
One of the best coaches I've ever had was the coach who taught me how to swim. She taught me excellently and created lesson plans not based off of some rigid curriculum, but based off of my own personal weaknesses and strengths. She provided me with a strong foundation with which I was able to develop and build off of. Without her I don't believe I ever would have qualified for any state level swim competitions. Much like her, I too boast a teaching style form fit to you or your child's needs.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I can swim all 4 competitive strokes to the High School state recognized level of proficiency. If you or your child is looking to gain a level of proficiency that exceeds that level, then I unfortunately am afraid that I most likely will not be able to help you very much.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
