Joseph's final swim lesson last week really feels like we have come to the end of an era, and I couldn't let it pass without saying a massive 'thank you' for your inspiration and endless patience.  It's hard to believe its been over 13 years since that first lesson, aged 3...in all the years since then, we have been fortunate enough to see some great teachers.  They have all impressed us in their own way, and often made us laugh!  Swimming has been a big part of Joseph's life and we really would like to thank you for giving him the opportunity to find a sport he could enjoy and achive in.  He can now go on and build on this by lifeguarding, and who knows, possibly even teaching himself in the future.  Our sincere thanks again. Nicki & Patrice Jegat (14th July 2010)

Laura has really enjoyed learning to swim with you...she is now swimming well and can jump in etc. Sue Mills (13th July 2010)

 

On another note, it’s the first time I’ve sat through Sasha’s class.  I thought she was brilliant – firm but fair and she got an amazing result out of Sissy in only her second lesson. I’m really pleased and thought it was worth feeding back to you. George Blizzard (12th July)

 

Arthur has really enjoyed learning so far. Jeff Cobb (12th July 2010)

 

Having spent years & wasted cash at our local swimming lessons, we have been extrememly impressed with the teaching standard at the swim school. It was recommended to me by a friend & I will continue to recommend it highly to others from now on! Fiona Jackson (10th July 2010)

 

Thanks very much to Lee, Dan and Tom, they have been brilliant teachers. Nicky Gilsenan (6th July 2010)


I just wanted to say how much Daniel has enjoyed Lee’s classes.  Lee has been a brilliant teacher and made the lessons really fun – he has  brought Daniel on as a swimmer and as a person.  Thanks again! Kind regards, Liz Spaven (15th June 2010)

Dear Charlotte, Thats great news. All the best to you...It was indeed very nice talking to you over the phone and also writing mails to you. You have always been very helpful and supportive. Once again thank you for everything and all the best to you. Regards, Subha (14th June 2010)

I would like to take the opportunity again to thank you for your support over the last few years and for teaching both my children to become very good and confident swimmers.Thank you. Best wishes, Maria Iacovides (14th June 2010)

Rachel has thoroughly enjoyed her time at the swim school.  All of the instructors have been excellent especially Dan, Lee and Libby. As a parent I have been extremely impressed at how well the instructors get along with the children in their lessons. Rachel's brother had swimming lessons for 5 years at Wilmslow and in all that time no one ever took the trouble to learn the names of the children they were teaching.  We have also been extremely pleased at the standard of the coaching that she has received. As a result Rachel is by far the most stylish swimmer in the family!  Tim Haynes (11th June 2010)

Thank you very much for everything.  Fiona has thoroughly enjoyed her lessons, has improved her confidence in the water & also her swimming skills.  We will highly recommend your swim school to all our friends.  Alice & Douglas Hutton (20th May 2010)

Thanks for the great lessons.  I have recommended you to everyone I know!  Lisa Woolf (18th March 2010)

My parents took James to his lessson this week and they have not seen him swim before.  They were amazed at how well he did.  They also said that Dan was really lovely with him and took his time to explain everything to James - not sure if I mentioned to you that we found out that James has a hearing problem...well Dan takes the time and trouble to make sure James understands...Thanks Dan.  Thanks to everyone at the swim school.  Bev Nelson (15th February 2010) 

I would like to thank the swim school for the excellent training Lucy has received, which has been delivered in a truly enjoyable atmosphere.  I will recommend the swim school to anyone with children that want to learn to swim.  David Millward (7th February 2010)

I am writing on behalf of Dodleston School Parents, Teachers & Friends Association to say a big THANK YOU for your donation towards our aution.  Due to your kind donation and others like it we raised £3200...So many thanks once again.  Chris Miller (21st December 2009)

I would like also like to say a HUGE thank you to Abraham.  It really is wonderful to see Andrew improve so much and even talk constantly about what he has achieved in this weeks lesson.  Louise Harley (2nd December 2009)

Abraham is great with the children and although they do alot of swimming, he makes it fun so they don't even notice!  George has come on so much in recent weeks and he was delighted to get a certificate!  Thanks again.  Liz Pool (30th November 2009)

Ellie is really enjoying swimming with Kayleigh and looks forward to her lessons every week.  As always, many thanks.  Sue Milne (22nd November 2009)

May we take this opportunity to thank you for the lessons to date, Kieran has really enjoyed it and we have been very happy with his progress.  Diane Thomas-Garratt (17th November 2009)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the swim school for being completely fab!  My two sons really enjoy their lessons and Sam in particular has made great progress in a relatively short space of time.  I have to say, I think the teacher (Dan) is possibly the most patient and determined young man ever! Lynn Higham (1st October 2009)

Tom is loving the lessons, his swimming has really improved, so thank you!  Nick & Ali (21st September 2009)
We are moving to Australia...It has been a great pleasure to be with the school and we can say that Angelique enjoyed her learning experience and her time there.  All the best to your students!  Kind regards, Edward Brunni (16th September 2009)

I would recommend (and do so) your classes to everyone.  Because they are 45 minutes, the children get something out of the classes.  We found with the 30 min classes Poppy was just getting into her lesson and it was time to get out.  Also your teachers are fabulous, great with the children - both my children want to go swimming and ask if its swim day.  Thanks for making learning how to swim such good fun.  Diane Maskill (6th September 2009)

Can we just say how much Ellie loves her lessons, she was excited to be going again and showing what she has been practising over the holidays.  Thanks again to you all.  Sue Milne (6th September 2009)

My son has been attending swimming lessons at Linden Lodge in Wimbledon for a couple of years now (on Saturdays).  In this time he has come on a great deal and is now brimming with confidence in the pool, happy to dunk himself underwater, jump in with no armbands and is generally a little fish.  I'd like to thank you for all your help in getting him this far.  Kevin Stockbridge (22nd August 2009)

You have come highly recommended by a friend...Many thanks. Clare Burell (3rd August 2009)

My son attended his first swimming lesson with Kwok today and I found his teaching to be excellent.  Many thanks,  Helen MacPhail (3rd August 2009)

The PTA, staff and pupils at Bishop Gilpin C of E Primary School would like to express their thanks and appreciation for your kind and generous donation for the raffle at our Summer Fair...Thank you once again for your continuing support.  Alex Durie (3rd August 2009)

Many thanks for the great course last week - Rachel really enjoyed it and came along well...Many thanks for everything and have a lovely hoiliday!  Best Regards, Joanne and the Jacobs (1st August 2009)

We have really enjoyed the week and Freddie made great progress.  Many thanks.  Antonia Moreve (31st July 2009)

Whilst emailing, I'd also like to say how pleased we are with Jett's progress under Kwok this year - he is a fantastic teacher! Jett had a positive lesson today & loves swimming!  Ali Harrison (27th July 2009)

Mirella has been at your (Linden Lodge) school for over 2 years and she has thoroughly enjoyed her time with you.  She has made fantastic progress with her swimming.  The school has such a great ethos and the instructors are excellent with such a professional approach.  I ham incredibly pleased with the swim school.  I would like to thank you for making swimming so enjoyable for Mirella.  Julie Coleman (13th June 2009)

Thank you for your professional approach...I must say that you provide an excellent all round service which I would recommend to others.  Dan is a lovely guy and I feel a great example of your excellent teaching staff.  His singing might not be that good - but we'll put up with that! Many thanks, Liz Clark (9th June 2009)

Thank you for the great job that your (Manchester) swim school does. Mrs Natsiopoulou (9th June 2009)

The instructors are brilliant...I'm really pleased - so thanks for everything.  Debbie Abberley
Both my children have enjoyed and benefited hugely from Lee's tuition (we think he is wonderful!).  Many thanks.  Julie Carmichael

James has been one of your longest serving members, having started at age 5, with Rick.  He has certainly enjoyed his time with you and he is 17 next week!  Regards, Tony Baker

I would like to thank you for the many years of fun that Liam has enjoyed (approx 9 years I believe with the swim school).  The difference in his swimming ability is amazing, considering the coaching and coaxing that you had to do just to get him into the pool when he first started!  Best Regards, Ian Vernon & Liam Vernon

Many thanks for the excellent teaching my daughter has received.  Gareth Roberts

I would just like to say that Dan is an absolute miracle worker with my little boy...and now I am ordering a 5 metre badge...it is absolutely fantastic and I am so proud it is unbelievable!  If you do have an instructor of the year award without a doubt Dan deserves it.  The whole class is working so well.  My only complaint is that my cheeks hurt at the end of the lesson for smiling so much!  Bev Nelson

I would like you to know that I am really happy with my adult lessons under the guidance of Sam.  He is patient and spends time on both technique and stamina...I also feel that Cameron is making excellent progress with Kwok.  Well done to both of them. Dave Thurtell

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work which is much appreciated.  David & Susanna Neil-Smith
Thanks for all your fabulous tuition and we will continue to recommend you to all our friends!  Becky & John Glassock
I was really impressed with the swim school at Hal's assessment this morning, and Rick you obviously inspired him...I would love him to have lessons. Fiona Lewis

I'd like to say what a difference joining the swim school has made to Craig's confidence in the water.  There is a fantastic team at Sandbach and it is obvious that all the swimmers enjoy their lessons.  Many thanks. Teresa Shaw

Daniel has very much enjoyed and more to the point improved immensely since joining the swim school.  My elder daughter was taught by yourselves and is a lovely swimmer.  I have recommended the swim school to many and will continue to do so as your lessons are by far the best. Caroline Eccleston

Many thanks for everything.  The children have really enjoyed their time at the swim school.  The instruction has been of a very high quality. Tony Edge

I would like to also take this opportunity to let you know what a fantastic teacher I think you have in Lee, Ravi’s instructor. He is quite exceptional. Fifteen months ago, it took my husband and me almost an hour and a half to persuade an utterly terrified Ravi to get into the pool; yesterday he swam 60 lengths with complete confidence. This is not only testament to Ravi’s own determination but also of Lee’s - that Ravi would learn to be confident in the water and know how to get himself out of any difficulty – real or imaginary.  I would recommend your program to anyone. The focus on safety means that nervous children soon learn to be confident that they can float (even in deep water), they can get out again by themselves and they can swim just as well as their more confident peers in only a few weeks. For the confident children, parents can be assured that their children will learn how to be safe and why this is important. Other teaching methods forget this.  Thank you to you, and to Lee for this!  Hannah Mahapatra

The longer lessons make all the difference - I would never return to attending only half hour lessons as so much more can be achieved in 45 minutes.  I'm so pleased that Jonathan and Sasha are now swimming with you.  Maria Boswell

I am really pleased with the instruction she has been given so far and am amazed she has achieved so much so soon. I hope my son who has recently started achieves the same!
Thanks, Andrea

I wanted to say to you again, just what a fab teacher Lee is! He got Annabel swimming without her arm bands on her second lesson with him. He has kept her attention all the way through the lesson even though she has just started school and the lesson is at the end of a busy week for her. I can't praise him highly enough: all three of my children have learnt to have fun, be confident and swim well. I have recommended the swim school to lots of people; many have enrolled - they are also very happy.
Regards, Sam Schofield

I would just like to say how pleased we are with the progress our sons (George and Sam) have made since joining the Swim School in Sandbach earlier this year. For over 2 years they had been attending weekly lessons at the local county council pool and were still unable to swim a width of the trainer pool unaided. Within a few weeks of joining the swim school they achieved their 10m badge - a huge achievement for them. Now they have surpassed all our expectations by swimming 16 lengths (Sam) and 4 lengths (George) and have so much more confidence in the water. We can hardly believe the difference. What a testament to the teaching ability of your team at Sandbach. Please pass on our compliments to the team at Sandbach who are doing such a marvellous job. Vicki Acres

I just wanted to pass on my compliments to the swim school. Since my two children joined a couple of years ago I have seen them progress rapidly to extremely competent young swimmers (and they are only 5 and 6). This is very much due to the fantastic teachers...they have instilled great confidence in both boys using a wonderful calm and encouraging approach. They give praise and encouragement regulary but much more importantly they keep it all fun. I am particularly pleased with the approach they both take to teaching water safety and John and I have been most impressed with the way they have made this fun.  I am sure that you recognise the high quality teachers you have - but we really felt that we needed to pass on our thanks for a job exceptionally well done.
Many, many thanks, Maria and John Orr (parents of Neill and Craig who swim at Sandbach)

Lucy has been swimming with the swim school for almost 5 years and has really enjoyed her lessons as you always make them fun & motivating. She has recently completed her 1500m badge, and at the age of 8 (and only just 8!) this is an incredible achievement and without your fantastic swimming lessons this could not have been achieved... We will always recommend the (Sandbach) swim school to anyone looking to give their children the best swimming lessons around! Regards, Debbie & Lucy

Just to say a huge thanks to you all for your fantastic lessons you have provided over the last year for our daughter Gemma, especially the intensive course that you ran last week which Gem really enjoyed! It is wonderful to see how much she has improved with not just her swimming but with her confidence as well, and you must have made a big impression on her as she says now that she wants to be a swim teacher when she grows up!
From Dot, Phil and Gemma Perry

It's been the best move ever: Alex's swimming has vastly improved... keep up the good work!  Zoe & Phil Spencer

Luke has been swimming with the swim school since he was about four or five... we have been very impressed with the training he has received and would like to say thank you... for all the encourage­ment, entertainment and solid teaching skills. Deborah Conibear... and Luke!

Absolutely brilliant lessons - thank you! Molly Clarke

Amelia's swim teacher is so inspiring and motivational - she really loves her lessons.
David & Caroline Hughes

May I thank the swim school for all their help with Tom. It helped his confidence tremendously. Best wishes, Louise Hilditch (14th June 2010)

It was just to say a very big thank you to Sam for his inspiring teaching to my girls over the last year or two.  He has the measure of Annabel and she loves his lessons.  They all have great fun - and clearly he does too - and they have learnt enormously from him.  She is becoming a capable all round swimmer with tons of enthusiasm - she knows what she has to do, she just has to remember all the different bits at the same time! Annabel's concentration in Sam's class is excellent as it wanders very easily even at the best of times! Her technique and strength have come on leaps and bounds and I am very grateful for Sam's endless patience and first class teaching.  Sam also has the measure of the teenage girls...it's as much a social thing and good exercise - so he strikes it just right in my book.  Many thanks to the swim school, especially Sam - and of course Kwok.  I am a huge fan of them both.  Phillipa Browning (14th June 2010)

Dear Charlotte, A big thank you for all your help over Honeys time at the swim school...getting her into the right class for me etc.. May I take this oppurtunity to wish you and your soon to be, new addition, much happiness! Take care, Honeys mum (14th June 2010)

Dear Charlotte, It has been a great pleasure to talk to you, you have always been so pleasant and professional.  All the best.  Elizabeth Piercey (14th June 2010)

Congratulations Charlotte and Good luck.  Thanks for all your help.  Katherine Brown (13th June 2010)

Hello Charlotte,Thank you for your help when I have needed.  I wish you luck & health for your new baby, and family.  Thank you again & best regards, Jo Darton (13th June 2010)

Thank you for all your help, it has always been a pleasure to correspond with you.  Very best wishes, Teresa. Graham and Craig Shaw (12th June 2010)

Thank you Charlotte for all your help, whenever we needed it.  W Fahmy (12th June 2010)

Charlotte, thank you very much for all your help with our queries and questions!  Claire Belderbos (11th June 2010)

Can't believe that Josie has been swimming with you for 7 years now.  Chris Hinton (11th June 2010)

Many many thanks Charlotte for all your help regarding any query.  Veronica Hurst (11th June2010)
