At Sport Aberdeen, our award winning Learn to Swim programme strives to create a positive and nurturing environment where every child can develop a love for swimming. The heart of our programme is our amazing instructors, and today, we want to highlight one of our shining stars: Carole.

Recently, we received a heartfelt email from a parent who couldn’t wait to share their positive experience with Carole. Here’s what they had to say:

“I wanted to email to share positive feedback about the swimming teacher, Carole. She is fantastic with the kids. She has a great way of speaking to them and explaining things to them in a way that they understand.”

It’s great to hear that Carole’s ability to connect with the children has been recognised. Our instructors pride themselves on making our lessons both fun and educational for our young swimmers. Creating an environment of confidence and encouragement is crucial for children, especially at the start of their swimming journey.

The parent went on to share how impactful Carole’s presence has been in their son’s development:

“Carole was my son’s swimming teacher when he was in the preschool class and I was so disappointed when he moved to the next class and lost her as his teacher. It has been fantastic having her lead his class the last two weeks during the holidays, and she deserves all the praise in the world.”

“I honestly think if every child could have Carole as a teacher, they would all love to swim and thrive.”

It’s feedback like this that reminds us just how important our swimming instructors are to our programme. Carole’s dedication to her students has left a lasting impression, and we’re thrilled to see how much her guidance has meant to this family. Well done Carole!
