Client Testimonials

Don’t just take our word for it – hear from educators who have been empowered by attending one of our CPD Workshops.

Read how our courses are helping educators deliver safe, structured and effective swimming lessons with confidence.

The course was well-organised, with a good balance of theory and practical advice that I can easily apply in my swimming teaching. Ethan, was highly knowledgeable and approachable. He presented the material clearly and answered questions with useful examples. I found the focus on water safety particularly useful which has given me more confidence in creating a safe environment for pupils. The workshop was engaging and interactive, and the resources provided will be very helpful when planning and delivering swimming lessons. Overall, the course has made me feel much more confident about teaching swimming.

I would highly recommend this course. The course leader had a lovely welcoming manner and was very enthusiastic about swimming and the skills children need. He was very helpful throughout and we were able to practise the skills using floats and noodles. He was very knowledgable. The booklet that we got is ideal. Explanations are clear and concise and each skill has a QR code to watch a video of the skill if we forget. Easy to share with staff at school and will help us to feel confident going forward. Thoroughly enjoyed!! Thank you!

Ethan was very professional and very friendly. He was extremely knowledgeable and his style of teaching was very practical. It was a very enjoyable training session and I highly recommend it to schools and teachers who require confidence and knowledge of the National Curriculum objectives for swimming and how to teach them effectively. I will be sharing this with all staff as it is fantastic. The QR codes and videos are a great touch.

The workshop was very informative and provided me with useful knowledge on how to teach and support swimming going forward, especially as an ECT with no prior swimming teaching experience. The workbook included is a great resource to have, particularly as it includes QR codes for each activity that link to a video demonstrating how to perform each one and with what it should look like when done correctly in the water.

This was a great course to be a part of. The resources we have been given will vastly improve the teaching during the school swimming lessons. Ethan had us all practise and demonstrate the strokes and skills. He ran us though all the coaching points to help us improve on the techniques.

Ethan has a lot of experience and clearly has a passion for teaching swimming. His sessions are clear and well-delivered. I would also highly recommend his deep dive booklet.

The presenter helped me to feel relaxed so I felt I could participate fully. The QR codes linking to the videos in the workbook are a brilliant addition.
