I love Harry. Sadly, this is his last semester. Learn how to Swim was so easy. All you needed to do is show up to class. I pledged this semester and got an A. As long as you come to class, you are guarented an A. Also, you don't have to come to class early and you get to leave class early. He cares about your health and makes sure we enjoyed it.

Yes, that is his real name. Really excellent professor. Easy and fair grader. Really likeable person. His guidelines for projects aren't the most clear, but this is generally because he just expects you to present something for the class. Go to class, participate and he'll give you an A. Perfect for the O Gen Ed.

His intermediate class is great. Very lenient on everything especially with the strokes and lets you take short breaks if you need it before continuing to exercise.

Harry is awesome, he's really helpful. I wasn't the greatest swimmer before I took the class but he gave me constructive feedback and helped me get better. He's nice and funny and everyone in the class definitely respects him. And like everyone else said, don't let the name fool you he earned that chili pepper.

Harry is an amazing person!! I took learn to swim with him last year. Before his class I was scared of drowning and had 0 knowledge of how to swim. He is one of the best professors I have ever had. Would not hesitate to take a class with him again. Don't skip class too often as you can end up with an F. Take his classes if you get a chance!!!

I had him for swim intermediate. SUPER EASY A. Dont miss classes. There is no reason to miss a class so as long as you go to class and write journals you'll get an A. He isnt picky about your journals either. Probably spent less than 3 hours the whole semester doing homework and studying for exams. Wonderful teacher. Take a class with him if u can!

Comment:

Harry is the only professor who privates hws classes for true athletes. There was no drawn out lectures. We got right down to business everyday and ran. Like any good coach, all he cares about is you putting in effort. He's very tolerant of people with little running experience and will work with anyone who is experiencing problems.

Marathon training was wonderful and I learned a lot. Harry made the runs doable while still challenging us. Assignments consisted of keeping a training log and a reflection essay. Show up to class, do the runs, and you'll be fine.

What a nice man! Lifeguarding wasn't a difficult class at all and I have a lot of fun in class. There are red cross tests that are mandatory to take, but they are very easy, as are the skill you have to learn. I really enjoyed Professor Back and this class!

This was an interesting class. I was excited about getting certified in CPR/AED and First Aid. It was everything I expected and more. Great guy, obviously loves his wife and daughter. Made class fun, and was more than willing to help with any and all questions. **Attendance is a Must** (40%)
