Let's tell you my story
I've been (not swimming) playing in the sea water before travelling to UK.
2 weeks ago, I went to hampstead pond and I was nearly drawning😂😂
So , I decided to learn and because I am lucky , I've met the best trainer ❤️
Fist of all, you'll get a tan from sun x-ray😂
But Really , I didn't believe that 30 minutes for 5 days will make a huge difference but now I'm confident enough to swim again in the deep water (not the olympic champion but at least will not drawn😂🤣)
Let's start our feedback.
Elly gave us a very good time and devaute her self to teach us all the needed technique , she has all neede training skills and was really keen on our time and to achieve the best result
For myself ,I hope I will practice more with her again as every time she fixed all my errors and I gained skills and confidence swimming with her

Thank you Mostafa,
What a fun week, full of laughter, for our course, to have shared it, with you!
You made great adaption to your swimming position, taking on board instruction well and going ahead confidently to try out all new skills taught. Keep up the good practice and new body position and movements to create an easier swim.
Pleasure to teach you.
Much Gratitude,
Elly
My coach Maree was excellent. I learnt so much in just 30 minutes. And Maree encouraged me to practise loads after my first lesson which I did. It all startetomake sense during practice. I thought I’d never learn front crawl but it looks like I am getting the basics right. Thank you Maree!

Thank you Patrick, your stroke improved swimmingly, few new tips for you to take on board to make your stroke more efficient well done!
If you have the time there’s adult advanced courses with our instructor Maree be great to have you back over the summer holidays this can also go alongside your children participating you all together in the same week
always a joy to work with Elly. Perfect way to spend your lunch break. I wish I could come more often but I live to far away. It is worth the travel.

Thank you soo much Gabrielle,
It’s been a pleasure assisting your swimming journey. Well done on all the good work and taking the time to do so.
Very fun, motivating and very insightful. I try to become a good front crawler and have to unlearn my stroke habits I accumulated over the years. Elly is a great help.Well worth it.
Reply from Lido Summer Swim School
I had a great time too, great to see instructions carried out swiftly. Now for some good practice. Well done!
Elly worked with both my boys 1-2-1improving their swimming. We’ve just got back from our summer holiday where they swam with much more confidence, including in open water as well as in the pool. A real step up.

That’s brilliant news Rebecca, glad there’s a noticeable difference to their swimming technique 🤩 thank you for a super summer!
My daughter had a great set of lessons with Elly in the summer. So I asked Elly help me improve my stroke. She quickly identified what I needed to change and
her instruction was really clear and helpful. It's made a positive difference. Highly recommended!
