Winning Testimonial 

“Andy has been teaching our daughter to swim since she was just 10 months old, and now, at nearly four, the progress she has made is incredible. When she first started, she was very trepidatious in the water and nervous around others, but Andy’s patient, calm, and gentle approach completely transformed her confidence. He has an exceptional way of making children feel safe and supported while encouraging them to push themselves just a little further each week. Andy always takes the time to offer thoughtful hints and tips to help improve technique, not just to the children but to parents too, so we can reinforce what she’s learning. Thanks to his dedication, our daughter now swims independently and absolutely loves the water. We feel so lucky to have found Andy — he truly goes above and beyond and has made swimming one of our daughter’s favourite activities."

Thank you to Josh the founder of twickenhamdadsclub for being our independent judge this term. 

Josh was delighted to be asked to judge our competition this term and loved reading all the wonderful nominations as he said it took him back to when he learnt to swim!

"Andy is awesome - patient, fun, and really gets the kids listening. My daughter loves classes with him, and I love watching her grow in confidence in what is one of the top life skills to develop. Thank you, Andy!"

"Lourita has transformed Florence from a child who feared the water into one that now loves being in the water and seems to prefer diving down to the bottom of the pool rather than being on top of it. Her swimming has improved so much, she is now almost swimming on her own and that's largely down to Lourita who recognised Florence's initial fears and knew exactly how (and how quickly) to encourage her along her swimming journey. I can see that she has had this effect on the other children in the lesson as well."

"Our daughter has made huge progress with Maddie. She’s such an engaging teacher, remembering little details about our daughter to make the classes more personal. She also does a brilliant mix of fun but educational classes. Our daughter can’t wait for swimming each Sunday."

"Sara is always so patient, encouraging and supportive in our lessons. My little boy can be a little bit of a handful, stubborn and not a great listener but Sara is always trying to find ways to ensure he engages in the activity. It’s often the personal touches that helps including knowing what his favourite colour is or what he enjoys the most! Because of Sara, swimming is Rory’s favourite activity!"
