Testimonials

At SwimEasy we are dedicated to providing quality swimming lessons. At the same time we want all who take part to enjoy the lessons.

Here are some of the things people have said about our lessons:

"My son first attended the summer Rapid Track three years ago. At the time he was terrified of being out of his depth in the pool. By the end of the first half hour he was asking when he could come back, and by the end of the first week he was jumping in the pool and making his way back to the side. Since then he has had regular weekly lessons with Swimeasy and has attended several more Rapid Track classes. All of his teachers (and there have been a few!) have been marvellous. The whole programme has given him so much confidence in the water that this year I signed myself up for the Rapid Track in an effort to overcome my problems with front crawl. After a week working with Heather I have made significant progress. She has been patient and supportive all the way through and was as delighted as I was when I finally got everything working together! I cannot recommend Swimeasy highly enough."

Elaine Marlow, Forth Valley

The consistency of lessons the children had for the week made them much more confident in their own ability. The children all made good progress. The focus was enough to push Holly in particular over the line to the next Stage. Amy particularly loved the day when they were asked to wear their PJs as it added more fun to the lesson. The girls enjoyed the fact that they could come together and felt it was good fun and they enjoyed it even though they worked hard. The arrangements for the week meant the children felt confident as they knew how things worked from their normal lessons so they were not nervous. The teachers were very focused and engaged. We felt that the RapidTrack Course was very good value for money and will definitely be doing it again as the children gained a huge amount from the Rapid Track week. Overall they loved it!

Daniel was brilliant. Kerr really responded to his “High 5’s” and the fun element of the week. We were delighted it was Daniel teaching Kerr this week as he had helped Holly a huge amount and took her nerves away when she was in his class.

I felt a little uncomfortable when I first came on the RapidTrack Course, as I was the only adult, but within minutes I felt welcomed and included by the Progress Advisor and the teachers. I felt that the teachers were very focused and passionate which helped me feel more confident, relaxed and included. I was facing a fear that I have had since childhood and would encourage anyone to take the challenge for themselves which will show them how much they have missed out on. I now have a new sport that I can begin to enjoy for myself with my three year old son. It has been life saving in the literal sense and the emotional sense as well. I have now decided to continue with One-to-Two lessons in SwimEasy’s the Core Programme because I enjoyed the RapidTrack Course so much.

Mr Vinnie Conway – Forth Valley - Easter RapidTrack Course 2012

Please pass on my Thanks to the teachers, they are doing a great job getting Emma enthusiastic about swimming, despite the fact she is very reluctant to put her face in the water. I am absolutely amazed that a girl who is so naturally scared of the water can look forward to and enjoy lessons so much.

Ruairi has only just started with Swimeasy but his teacher Dawn's great sense of fun and positive approach to learning means that his lesson is now one of the highlights of his week - when he isn't swimming he is giggling!!

Alison Parkinson

Lucy has loved her lessons and has had the benefit of great expertise from her teachers. We would also like to say how well run the carnival was on Saturday. It made a difference to Lucy that the children were so warmly welcomed and she really enjoyed it. We are delighted that our younger children Rachel and James will continue to have the benefit of the Swimeasy programme.

"I was doing lessons to learn to swim as an adult - I now feel more comfortable in the water and don’t have the same fears that I did when I first started. However, can I just take this opportunity to thank all employees at Swimeasy including the Co-ordinators and Instructors at the pool. I always felt very comfortable in the pool and trusted them 100%. As I am 30 years old, I always felt that not being able to swim was embarrassing and now I feel that I can not only go to a public pool with my son but can swim and not feel intimidated by others."

Mrs Suzanne O’Reilly, Falkirk

"Enrolling our children in SwimEasy was one of the best decisions we have made. After some negative experiences in the past with other clubs, our 3 boys are quickly becoming strong and confident swimmers by learning in a safe and caring environment. Swimming is now the highlight of the week!!!"

Mrs Laura Morrison, Dunblane

"What a wonderful way to learn to swim. The teacher’s have a great attitude, encouraging and helping all the time and instilling confidence by showing the kids how to have fun in the water as well as learning all the different strokes correctly. I would recommend these lessons to all. They’re fab! No matter what your age."

Mrs Abi Dunsire, Stirling

"The programme is so much better than all the other ones we have tried locally."

Mrs Sally Patterson, Portobello

"My son has learned lots of new skills and really developed his self confidence - he can't wait to get back to his next class."
Mr David Marshall, Bo'ness

"Both my children have improved dramatically after just a few weeks in the SwimEasy programme."

Mrs Fiona Johnston, Edinburgh
