Group swim lesson from summer 2021:
This was our 4th lesson where I tested each student's confidence in the water on their own to do unsupported float.

In this picture, I have my arms extended forward to provide support to the student to come forward on her own. Each student has a turn to try and see other sisters go before them.

An example of someone who attended previous classes
Here is an example to show you how one student was able to learn in one class and improve her skillset in swimming using the Gainesville Swimply Pool location.
Here is an example of another client
She came to me in 2022 asking me if I can work with her for 2 hours. I rented a Swimply pool and she brought her friends with her. They split the cost of the rental fee and paid for working with her for two hours. Within these two hours, she focused on freestyle and backstroke. She wanted to refresh her swimming so she can enjoy her vacation time in Egypt during the summer. When I saw her in 2023, she said these 2 hours made a huge difference and helped her out tremendously.
FAQ:
Whose pool is this?
This is a rented pool! It belongs to someone who I am renting through Swimply.com
How can I make sure this is a safe pool?
Yes, safety is the number one concern which I also take very heavily. The pictures you see on this page are all ladies who joined us at this pool
Will I be able to shower after pool time?
Unfortunately no. Since this is not my pool and because it's limited time rent, showering will need to be done at home. This host does not have shower available. Each house has different rules. Therefore, I kindly ask you to bring extra clothes to change if you are not comfortable driving back wet or quickly dried up.
What happens if there is rain day:
If the weather doesn't permit us to meet, then two options: reschedule or cancel it all together. It will depend on our availability and timings of the season.
Are these classes good for beginners or only intermediate level swimmers?
These classes are great for both. If you are a complete beginner, I recommend you joining the water safety workshops first and then come to these classes. Otherwise, you will still gain further insights in swimming and learn how to improve your strokes (freestyle and backstroke).
Courses related to swimming:
If you would like to continue strengthening your knowledge and confidence in swimming, I would recommend the following courses below. Swim4Akhirah is a free course that is recommended to everyone. The introduction to swimming course is a great course to continue practicing on your own time with a virtual coach.
