I really enjoyed learning with Zack. I’ve taken swimming lessons before I have never been able get rid of the panic I feel when I get into the water. After working with Zack for just 4 lessons , I now don’t panic and actually love being in the water. If you could , could you please let Zack know that I am very thankful to him for that .

Hi Lesley!

I had a really good time meeting Danielle. Following my lesson, I went to the pool the next day and swam 2.5k! I hardly felt it, it made such a difference to have worked on my technique. Please extend my thanks to her, Danielle’s enthusiasm and love of swimming is very encouraging and gave me a really good boost. I think I could probably do with one more lesson to work on my breast stroke. Is there any chance of another lesson!?

I just want to commend Anna for the way she conducts the lessons. She really makes the effort to explain the techniques regardless of the size of the class. She also pays attention to each child’s techniques. I like how Anna is specific and verbalises clearly to a child what he or she has done well when she’s giving praise. Similarly, if a child is struggling in the pool, she encourages the child by telling he or she specifically what to do rather than giving general instructions. For example, Anna would say: “lift those legs higher & let me see the face of your feet!” rather than “keep kicking” (which really is demoralising to a child who is kicking as hard as she can but just not doing it right:-)). I am not the only mum who notices Anna’s dedicated and child friendly style of teaching so I hope she knows we certainly appreciate her hard work:-)

Mihir has loved his lessons and wants to go swimming – a big positive leap for him and Paul has been the most wonderful instructor – calm, encouraging and incredibly patient. We are relocating to india this summer and won’t be attending lessons next term but if and when we are in london/uk next we shall definitely join up!

I just wanted to say thank you for the great work Jose has done in the month or so ‘M’ has been swimming. She is now “swimming” without a float so job done!

Hi Lesley,

We’ve really enjoyed the lessons – Ian and Pat’s teaching is really top notch! Both myself and Q**** can swim a bit now, and we’re really happy with the progress we’ve been making from week to week. I managed to do a length (with a bit of sporadic breathing!) for the first time yesterday and well chuffed

Hi Lesley,

I just wanted to say thank you for your help these last few months!! Swimming was something I gave up on years ago and always just thought it would be one of those things I would never be able to do. Now it’s actually getting to the point where I look forward to it on the weekend!!!
