What others are saying

Jon Bennett – Derby Tri

Having come down for my first session with ‘Swim Therapy’ on Monday of this week,I would just like to share a few comment’s with you.

First of all I was very ‘impressed’ with the whole ‘relaxed’ set up,and may I add very ‘clean’ as well.

I had ‘booked’ a 60 min session and as you would expect ‘in the dark’ what happens,

As a ‘Tri’ Coach myself,I found ‘Jack’s’ knowledge and ‘above all’ coaching ‘style’ absolutely ‘first’ class,

He ‘picked up some ‘point’s about my swim very ‘quickly’ and gave me loads to work on……..

thanks’ again,see you in two month’s

‘will recommend’

J.T – Swimmer South Performance Squad

Hi Nigel, great session, it was a real motivating experience for my daughter. Her swimming has been ‘stuck in a rut’ for 12mths and she has been a bit down. In the car on the way home she didn’t stop talking about it. We all learned a lot. Well done! Val. 5.12.07

Terry & Rachel Lightfoot – Triathletes York

What a great service and set up! Within minutes your watching your video playback looking at your faults then being advised what to do next… It’s great to see the improvements on the screen during the session. Very clean facilities and lots of good knowledge was given to take away and practise further, so two happy customers here! We both had an hour session each and certainly learned more than time spent doing a whole swim weekend. 29th Nov 2007

Eric Blakie – North East Triathlete

Name –Eric Blakie aged 54 member of Ryton Triathlon club in NE England.I’ve been doing tri’s for about 6 years.Competative at top level in my age group from Sprint to Ironman.

Facilities –very clean,modern and professional.

The session—excellent ! It take s a few minutes to get used to the endless pool but after that my coach Jack was very easy to understand and very calm throughout.

My problem was that after 6 years of swimming I had ceased to improve and I know from previous underwater footage that what I think I’m doing and what I’m actually doing are two entirely different things.The session enabled me to visualise that much more clearly and then see the difference that the Coach’s instructions made–immediately.I took home the DVD with commentary,played it again that evening and was in the pool 7.00am next morning.I was able to focus on my problem areas and noticed an immediate improvement in ease of swimming.

I would recommend the facility to any body who seriously wants to improve –and go for the two hours –its not all swimming and passes very quickly!

Cheers

Eric

Tom Hempenstall – CoSTA St Albans

Tom has attended 3 sessions at SwimTherapy, the first session concentrating on his front crawl, with a little bit of breaststroke, and the other two on his butterfly, with a very little bit on backstroke. All strokes have improved following this coaching and Tom (and I) have real clarity on what we need to work on. For example, getting his shoulders clear of the water in ‘fly, entering the water gently and reaching forward on crawl, rotating/ rotating/ rotating on backstoke. The facilities/ equipment at SwimTherapy are excellent – pool, shower, cameras, computer analysis, DVD preparation. Tom has been taught by Nigel (one session) and Jack (two sessions). Both have been extremely patient with Tom, something that is important given Tom’s learning difficulties and quickly developed an excellent rapport with Tom, relaxing him and making him think about his stroke. Tom has enjoyed each session and is always keen to come back for more. We would recommend SwimTherapy to anyone. Tom swims with CoSTA swimming club at St Albans and has recently been invited to train with the Mencap GB national swimming squad. 26th November 2007

Swimmer – Leicestershire

We have found Swimtherapy very helpful. The coaches approach friendly but professional, instructions always pitched in a way my daughter understood. We have visited a few times for different strokes and each time my daughter has shown an improvement that was noticeable. As people on poolside have commented on her improvement. The premises and facilities in my daughters words are “fantastic”.

Hope this is of help to anyone wondering if they should try Swimtherapy

Carl Smith – Triathlete Cheshire

Hi Nigel, I enjoyed the visit to SwimTherapy and got a lot out of it. Just by repositioning my head I got an immediate reduction in drag and a corresponding increase in speed. On my return I swam 100m in 1:41, my previous best before this being around 2mins. Still slow I know by proper swimming standards, but a big increase in speed for me! Am now concentrating on improving my kick as I now realise that there is great room for improvement there also! 24th Nov 2008

Emma – Swimmer Midlands

Hi Jack, just to say thanks so much for Emma’s session last week. As I mentioned, a friend told me about your facilities and he is such an experienced swimmer, I thought it may be all a bit too much for Emma because she is only 11. How wrong I was! The lesson was pitched at just the right level for her and she has knocked over a second off her frontcrawl over 25 metres straight away! Thanks again and hope to see you soon. 22nd Nov 2007

Richard Marsh – Triathlete

I thoroughly enjoyed the session yesterday. I thought the facilities were excellent, clean, modern and brimming with technology! The level of expertise was extremely high…….the coach was also able to tailor the session towards Triathlon swimming which helped enormously. All in all an excellent investment of time and money and well worth making the trip down from Chester. 19th Nov 2007
