History
Before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Ludmila Vlasova and Yefim Shoykhet found a talent and passion for swim instruction, eventually coaching national teams in the former U.S.S.R. But when they wanted a better life in America, they started Physique Swimming. For 18 years, the Shoykhet family has used their comprehensive understanding of swim techniques and an optimistic, personalized approach to teach the art and discipline of swimming.
