Training with Artur is the complete package. A wealth of knowledge on personal training but also swimming and moreover nutrition advise. He is a keen athlete himself and that brings passion and enthusiasm to his work which is definitely transferred to his clients. More importantly he is a very kind, friendly and caring type of person. I have been training with him for one year and I hope there will be many more years to come…. Couldn't recommend him any more highly.

Artur is truly an amazing swim instructor and coach! He is extremely knowledgable and supportive. He has been encouraging me and holding high standards for many years now, since I started to swim with him. Coming from the competitive swimming world, Artur has been able to pick up exactly on my needs and we have been working together towards my fitness goals in a very professional manner. I've also learned a lot of different aspects of nutrition with him. I have had several swim coaches before and I feel lucky to train with him!
