See what our clients have to say about private swimming lessons taught by our Instructors at Aim Above

"We are very happy with our instructor's ability to engage Syrah in play-based learning. Unfortunately we have moved to Malaysia so we could not continue; however even now, we still have not managed to find anyone who can match Ms.Soldera's calibre or ability to teach our daughter."
Azim Manji (Father of Syrah, age: 4)

"Most of our summers are spent in a family pool and I was concerned that Joshua would not know how to swim without his water wings on. I decided to put him in private 1-on-1 swimming classes and am so grateful to have found Sandra. Her patience, professionalism and instruction have made Joshua a great swimmer. Now, he has completed Level 5 and he started as a complete beginner. Swimming lessons taught by Sandra truly has given me peace of mind! Thank you."
Lindsay Espinoza (Mother of Joshua, age: 7)

"I initially contacted Sandra because I was an adult learner who never had the opportunity to learn how to swim as a child. I was very happy to find Ms. Soldera at Aim Above. She truly exceeded my expectations and her teaching experience, patience, guidance and concise instruction really helped me become a better swimmer. I feel that my swimming has improved and I know so much more about using proper breathing and kicking techniques. I'm relieved that I finally found an instructor who will help me achieve my swimming goals. I tried group lessons in the past but I found I didn't advance as much. Private lessons really fast-tracked my learning. I have no doubt in my mind that I will be swimming in deep water soon, as I only had 6 private lessons so far. With Sandra, I know that each and every class I have - she truly does help me aim above my swimming expectations. I can't wait to go to Mexico on my vacation and apply my swimming knowledge - especially my treading water skills!"
Yaser Zuhair, age: 26

"I was an adult who could not float and was actually afraid of the water. I would walk into a room that had a swimming pool and I would get terrified simply from smelling the chlorine and seeing the pool. After only ten lessons with Ms. Soldera, I am now able to front float, back float, tread water, go into the deep end, side glide etc. I have been extremely impressed with her professionalism, punctuality and rates. I highly recommend her with respect to teaching an adult how to swim."
Alex Flesias, age: 35

"I always watched my wife swim at our cottage up north and I was hesitant to learn how to swim as I was always terrified of deep water and afraid of drowning. I thought I was too old, and that I should just sit by the sidelines. It even crossed my mind that at my age, it may be too late to learn. When I came across Aim Above's swimming ad, I inquired within and after speaking with Sandra, she convinced me that if I don't take the risk of at least trying one swimming lesson, I had nothing to lose. I thought I might try a swimming lesson. I was very intrigued by one-on-one lessons as I wasn't a big fan of learning in a group setting. Sandra really proved me wrong and I really felt that every swimming lesson that I have with her is not only beneficial to my health, but therapeutic. She is very informative, accommodating and helpful. Her enthusiasm, expertise, energy and professionalism really shows each and every class. I am proud to say that I can now swim with my wife at our cottage and finally enjoy the water leisurely in the deep end. What I thought was "mission impossible" was actually a dream come true. I'm very fortunate to have found Sandra at Aim Above."
Rod Ritchie, age: 64

"My husband initially was Sandra's student. I did not know to swim at all, and I was hesitant to accompany my husband when Sandra suggested that I attend the swimming lessons as well so that we can learn together. It was the best decision I made. Sandra is incredible - for someone like me who takes longer than others (because of my inexperience in swimming), Sandra patiently helped me get comfortable in the water and learn the different lessons. Each day she would do a brief refresher from the last lesson and teach us at least one new thing, if not more. My husband has a fear of putting head under the water. The swimming goggles and Sandra's asistance has helped him to remove his fear. I would recommend Sandra very highly. She is incredible. She knows how to teach, she knows the every right lesson in swimming and she is attentive. We are glad we chose her as our instructor."
Mala Prakash, Business Owner/Consultant

"Although I had swimming lessons when I was a kid, I was never really comfortable with being in water where I couldn’t touch the ground. This kept me away from the water for many years and it wasn’t until recently, when I started canoeing, that I realized I needed to improve my swimming. Sandra was able to help me conquer my fears of being in deep water, teach me swimming techniques from scratch, and help me reach my goals, all in a very short period of time. I’m sure I could have taken group lessons at the local rec. centre, but Sandra’s private lessons helped me improve exponentially and at my own pace. This was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.“
Wilbur Wong, Asset Manager Age: 27

"As a 31 year old woman who does not know how to swim at all, Aim Above Swim School was prompt in responding to my questions and hesitations. My instructor encouraged me towards taking a chance and finally taking swim lessons, which I had been afraid to do for so long. Sandra is a skilled instructor, who is patient and an efficient communicator. Her lessons were progressive and after a few classes, I felt much more comfortable being in the water. She works very hard to accommodate to your schedule and I'm very happy I was able to find her as a teacher at Aim Above."
Kham Pecorella, age: 32; Orthopedic Services Office Manager.

"Having Sandra as a swimming instructor has been an amazing experience! I started my lessons as a complete beginner with no prior swimming experience. Within the first six sessions, I was completely comfortable in the water and practicing different swim strokes! Sandra’s energy and enthusiasm keeps me motivated to push myself and learn new things every class. If you are considering it, don’t think twice- swimming lessons with Sandra are a great investment!"
