Swim Angelfish Testimonials & Reviews

Having the certification has completely changed the way that we all teach and the way that we think about teaching adaptive aquatics… This program is incredible.

The Swimming and Retained Reflexes: High Level Swimmers with Coordination Issues provided me with the most beneficial information. After having experiences and seeing different cases, these new cases helped me with ideas on what to do with some of my clients. I love the idea of an adaptive swim team!!! That has become my new goal for the program I am developing at the Nashua YMCA!

I have enjoyed this course and have already started using some of the techniques with both mainstream group lessons and private special needs lessons. I enjoy learning and look forward to continuing on with your program.

We have a large number of children with autism in our community and many register for our Swim School. The course has ready helped me understand how some individuals respond differently to water and the pool environment. The Training is great. There is so much more to teaching swimming to children with different abilities and THIS is the way to go.

Overall from start to finish, I found everything so informative yet easy to understand. As I had no proper resources here in Ireland, I had to figure out a lot of things myself and was doubting myself a lot. Your course, videos, blogs, vlogs etc. confirmed what I was doing, but from now on I can offer a lot more to all the swimmers with more confidence.

I really like the course a lot. I swim with quite a few students in both small group and private lessons where I see many of these behaviors, and sometimes we chalk it up to kids just being kids, but it gave me a larger perspective and creative ways to process through them.

This course has been incredibly valuable to me. This information and new knowledge will serve to enhance the experience for both my students and myself. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who works with students of all abilities!

I enjoyed all the sections and all three levels. The knowledge I have gained in priceless.

Thank you for presenting the material it’s so easy to understand and use. I am truly so energized as an instructor and ready to study, re-read through the manual and begin using these new ideas.

All of your videos are so helpful when working with differently abled swimmers. I am enjoying incorporating what I am learning into my adaptive lessons. I love having the ‘ah-ha’ moments when I see in person what you are talking about in the videos.

I am an occupational therapist and I can’t say enough great things about how therapeutically appropriate and helpful this training is!

As an OT who has performed aquatic therapy for over 20 years, I am learning SO MUCH and am so grateful for this program! This is my 2nd course. LOVE IT ALL!!!

I love how the instructor is making clear, individualized and unique expectations to the swimmer! He is learning in a comfortable environment and able to meet the expectations the instructor is setting for him. As an SLP, I know it’s vital to use short, direct statements to make it clear what is expected of our swimmers. Love it!

As an educator or 21 years and a swim coach for 16 I am thrilled to combined the two in order to better serve our special needs community. These Poolside Printables are fantastic! So many times I have parents that feel helpless around the water in regards to their child. Having something to empower them is priceless. Practical tips with rationale; makes my teacher heart happy!

These resources and printable assessments will be so helpful as we continue to develop, evaluate and plan lessons to keep our participants engaged and learning! Thank you for developing this program to help us provide the best services to our communities.

Thank you so much for this program; I learned much from all of the shared roadblocks and experiences. I look forward to implementing many of the strategies learned.

The use of cadence and repetition is a great tool! I have tried incorporating into my lesson and it’s been so helpful!

I started using sensory-seeking strategies during my lessons just a few days ago and have already seen a big difference in my student’s focus. Thank you for explaining and showing practical strategies to help them succeed!

The weights and buoyancy is something I will definitely use going forward. I constantly reflect on my previous teaching of students and I wish I knew this information sooner. Thank you for the wonderful resource to add to my tool box!

This is so helpful having this cheat sheet pool side. The summary manual before the test is great too and fills in all the blanks. Everyone should have the chart with them at the lessons! Thank you Cindy and Ailene!

Thank you so much for an amazing course! I received a lot of helpful and knowledgeable information. I can’t wait to start the next levels!

This was just all excellent. Thank you.
