Hi Jane,

... I can't believe we only have a couple lessons left, the term has gone by so fast. We are really loving the classes and I've seen Noah's confidence in the water improve greatly in the last few weeks.

I'm not sure if I told you at the beginning of the term, but this is my first swimming lesson with Noah. I would like to learn more from you about how to hold him, help him roll over in the water and get him to float on his back with me. Can you please help me with that on Sunday?

Thanks Jane, see you soon.

Hi Jane,

PS...He is doing very well in hayley’s class and when I was swimming with him the other day he, for the first time, wanted me to keep my distance and actually swim along on his own – it’s a breakthrough!

...I'm stoked with the confidence Jemima is showing - she's come a huge way in a pretty short time, Lara's been great, and the teaching method obviously really suits Jemima - you have a great "product", Jane!

cheers, Jill

Hi Jane - ditto to what Jill said. Lara has been great and Riley wants to go to swimming lessons EVERY DAY!

Hi Jane,
I wanted to thank you for the time and energy you've spent teaching my wee men to feel confident in water and to love swimming. I'm amazed by how capable they are in the water already and you've played a big part in that - thank you...

Hi Jane.

As parents we wish to thank you for your amazing swim programme. My son, Max (5), has been involved in your school for around 3 years and a couple of weeks ago his skills were put to the test. He was playing at the end of a wharf and our dog slipped knocking Max into the lake. He had on a heavy coat and jeans. Thanks to all he had learnt during his lessons he never panicked or floundered for a second. He just swam! I was so proud of him and although i entered the water to rescue him he really didn't need me at all. He also told me that had he had to go further he would have rolled on back and kicked. He was totally calm and i attribute this entirely to swim lessons!
So again thanks for teaching my son to swim.

I just wanted to thank you for the great holiday lessons.  Hayley is absolutely brilliant and we are so thrilled with both Brook and Aria's progress.  Hayley's idea to get Aria into the High School pool on a one-two-one was brilliant and Aria appears to now be a lot more confident using the tactics/methods that Hayley taught her.  Brook now tips water onto his head the second he gets in the bath, and is now a lot happier in the shower (he freaked out at both of these things prior to his week of lessons).  Enormous tantrums getting OUT of the bath now - he's so into it!  :-)

We had 2 sessions per day for a week and this is the best way for us. We have an outdoor pool and it needs to be used in weeks 1-3 only of Term 1 before it gets too cold!! So we have to take every opportunity to swim in the first few weeks.

We had our programme delivered by Jane from Wakatipu Swim School. They stayed in Roxburgh for the week. We highly recommend them. We definately would like this opportunity repeated as it was extremely successful - our parents were also very impressed.

ADULT TECHNIQUE SESSIONS

Hi Jane,

I wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed your block of adult swimming lessons.  I am astounded at how much I have progressed in just 10 weeks!  I had never tried Free Style before starting with you, and this afternoon I swam 6 lengths non-stop !  I feel confident and comfortable in the water.  My technique has improved so that I am swimming more efficiently.  The lessons were constructive, demanding and lots of fun.  I am still aiming to improve my performance - I am working on my tumble turns and have just about got them sussed.  Next visit to the pool I am going to do 8 lengths of free style non-stop. Thanks for making it all so inspiring and motivating.

Hello Jane,

Would just like to say how much I enjoyed and benefited from our time together over just two swim lessons.

As I am in my mid sixties and have never had any formal swim lessons since school days I was a bit nervous about embarking on this almost foreign venture of swimming but this all immediately disappeared in the first few minutes of our first lesson as your clear instructions, words of encouragement and tolerant patience in addressing any problem areas soon dispelled any fears I had of ever becoming a proficient swimmer.  Indeed even before the first lesson was over I could feel myself moving through the water more efficiently and faster than ever before.

I can now look forward to with the help of the notes you are fowarding to me to becoming a confident and proficient recreational swimmer and also enjoy the fitness benefits gained from this.

Once again many thanks and all the very best

Hi Jane

Only 2 weeks until my due date & have now finished work so enjoying a bit of relaxation time before my little monkey arrives!

I will probably not make any more PRAMS classes as I find it easier to swim during the day times now that I’m off work but wanted to thank you for running the classes, I really enjoyed them & will definitely recommend them to other preggy ladies.

I will no doubt see you at the pool over the next week or so as I’m still trying to keep as active as possible & once baby arrives we will be back in the water together as soon as she is old enough (we will be practising in the bath tub beforehand!).

Please keep me on your email list so I know what you have going on,

Many thanks again

Kerry
