Bike School ltd is a brand new small business working with children. We hired Evan to help us with our safeguarding policy and I can only say the he went more than above and beyond. I am really impressed by the thoroughness of his work and the quality of the product, and I would absolutely recommend his services to anyone working with kids!

I have had a fantastic experience with my Swimming tutor Evan over the past few weeks. His patience and clear explanations have made a huge difference to my confidence in tutoring. He takes time to break each skill down into simple steps, always offering encouragement and constructive feedback. His lessons are well structured and always encouraging, but still fun and engaging. He uses a mix of demonstrations, games, and challenges to keep things interesting and to help with Tutoring / Teaching skills. I now feel more confident and comfortable in my techniques. His Communication skills have always been excellent. I would highly recommend this swim tutor to anyone looking to learn to teach swimming, or any other courses that Evan has to offer. Please check out his website: Swim 21 Training.

What an absolute pleasure it has been to have met Evan all those years ago. His support has been invaluable, and to get the boys to where they are today in their swim journey has only been possible through Evans guidance and positive encouragement. No question has even been a silly one for Evan to answer, so we are really looking forward to working with Evan again next year. Thanks again Evan, youre a true gentleman.

Couldn’t speak more highly of Swim 21. Aoife was my son’s teacher and she was absolutely amazing. The progress our son was unbelievable. He enjoyed every single lesson. Aoife was very patient, kind, firm but lots of fun. Really impressed with these 1:1 lessons.

Evan and the team are brilliant and we really enjoyed swimming lessons with them. Such a shame the pillow hotel have let us all down with such short notice to end the lessons.

For anyone who is interested in learning about baby and pre-school swim training, I highly recommend doing the course with Swim 21. The tutor Evan was very helpful and easy to reach for any questions or issues throughout the course. The course material was easy to follow along with the online classroom guidance. Doing the online classes gave me a chance to interact with others who were like-minded, this helped when it came to understanding tasks and activities that were used in the course. The practical element of the course was really good and our tutor Evan put me at ease with what was needed to be done on the day. Overall, the course was easy, fun and I learned so much from the experience. I was given everything I needed before the course started so there was no worrying of what to have on the starting day. I will be using Swim 21 Training again in the future. Again, I highly recommend.
