Previous feedback from course:

“Along with the resources given at the end and all of the little tips along the way, I really do feel ready and enthused to teach swimming now”

“I had a great time and the day was a huge help and success as far as I am concerned”

“The course was fantastic! I can honestly say it is one of the best courses I have been on. Although slightly daunted by the idea of getting in the pool myself, the tutor put us all at ease, made us all laugh many times and gave us such a brilliant insight into how the children might feel and how to teach the differing abilities”
