My first impression of SwimNE was amazing. My daughter had been to other groups and there was no competition. Quality, professionalism, communication, trust and friendliness all played a part. The instructors actually did care about the children and wanted them to learn. They smiled and encouraged class participation and trust. The whole package is outstanding and I totally believe that is why my daughter is doing so well in swimming and is a happy and confident swimmer and child – she is even now teaching Mam and Dad about streamlining – which does work!
My daughter didn’t even want to start lessons because she didn’t want to get her face wet, and now she’s jumping in and doing sitting dives and loving it. Most important, she’s been allowed to progress at a pace she’s comfortable with, while being encouraged to keep going, and has therefore developed with confidence.
Within 5 weeks my son aged 5 had started to swim his first strokes. His progress has been amazing and it’s due to his swimming instructor Ken who has amazing patience and encouragement, giving him the confidence he needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
At SwimNE the staff are very friendly and supportive. My daughter was quite nervous and lacked confidence but she has really gained her confidence since she started with SwimNE. It helps that that teachers are in the pool with the kids so they can be shown how to do the strokes rather than being shouted at from the side (which is how her previous lessons were taught before we changed over to SwimNE).
Brilliant – spent March to Sept at another swim school where little progress was made and he was always on a woggle or float. But by our third lesson with SwimNE he was swimming unaided and finally jumping in unaided!
It is good that my daughter is able to change her swimming nights and instructors as at different stages she did need different qualities from different instructors. Kind, patient, fun instructors at the beginning and now firm, friendly, encouraging ones now that she is developing as a confident swimmer. I see her in her lessons now and I cannot recognise my daughter when she is swimming – she just looks like a professional swimmer sometimes – straight arms, fast kicking legs, strong push off’s and so focused – why can she not do that with Mum!!
My daughter has progressed really well with SwimNE, she is really enthusiastic, doesn’t like to miss lessons, is very confident in the water and seems to be developing a bit of technique which is cool for a five year old. Instructor James really seems to be driving the group forward without making it seem hard. Craig the Co-ordinator is also great with the group when covering and he deals with any admin issues quickly and friendly.
Fan-bloody-fastic. I cannot praise enough for the difference in my son’s swimming right from his 1st lesson. He loves it and i love seeing him become more confident every single week.
