Summer Registration Forms 2006

I was wondering if you could pass on my praise for one of your teachers at Kings College Wed 6- 6.30 sessions. People these days are so quick to have a moan and complain but we seem to forget to give praise and thanks too. My son R*** has just been moved into Jerry’s class and has so far had two lessons with him.
Myself and my partner watch the lessons closely so that when we go swimming with R*** we can continue in the same way. Jerry is fantastic, he has really brought R*** on so quickly and confidently. It’s a pleasure to watch and very satisfying to see him improving so well. All the teachers are a real credit to your swimming school. Keep up the good work. R*** will be continuing next term as he really enjoys the lessons. Thank you.
Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the time you spent talking to me on the phone regarding P***'s lessons and how to reach a solution that would make us all happy! P*** has now started on her Saturday mornings with Sueli (hope I've spelt that right!), and her assistant April, and it was wonderful!! She did so much in that half an hour and was so pleased with herself afterwards. She managed to jump in and go under the water no less than 4 times too! Thank you for your hard work and effort to help us make P***'s swimming more enjoyable, and to help me relax! Now she's looking forward to getting her next award, and many more!
Thanks again.
Farnborough Fins is brilliant and worth every penny it is by far the best thing I have ever enrolled my son in and I hope he continues. This is a life skill made fun THANK YOU!
I just want to say thank you to all the teachers who have been great; Adam, Paul, Ian and Alison. They have been very patient and instructive and are a credit to your school. I have really enjoyed learning to swim and feel a lot more confident now in the water. It is a real pity I can not carry on but will try to go swimming at least once a week to keep it going.
Thanks very much for all you’ve done to move J****’s lessons. We really appreciate it.
I am so pleased with the lessons. I****is gaining so much confidence in the water and it’s so re-assuring that she is being taught how to get out of the water if she needs to.
You teach well – the results were quite apparent whilst on holiday. M*****’s confidence in the pool was amazing.
This was R***’ first term and he has loved it. I feel really happy with the staff / child ratio.
Very pleased so far!
Texting everyone with changes – great!
The teaching and dedication/ attention to the children (esp the tiny ones).
All your staff are so nice – they inspire confidence and make the lessons fun and not intimidating. I recommend you all the time!
She has settled so well. Thank You!
Doing all fantastic! E**** really enjoys your classes. Thanks.
I’ve been very impressed with the progress D**** has made – thank you very much – R*******
H****** is having a ball! Thanks
I am always impressed by how organised Farnborough Fins are and by the ‘welcoming’ feeling given even though there are a great deal of children passing through. Well done.
Extremely impressed with the beginners class as the children are kept moving. (No time to get scared). Well done.
Swimming teachers at this session are wonderful.
Enjoying learning lots of new techniques and making good progress – Thank you.

Felicity has been great in helping A*** – he does not enjoy swimming. She has been very patient with him over the last few weeks whilst doing lengths.
Great encouragement and motivation for M**. Great communication about pool problems.
Very happy with the approach – it’s fun and varied. Teachers always quick to pick up on anxiety or distress.
Am happy with everything. My child is enjoying her new class and the teachers are great. She has improved so much. Thank you very much for your hard work.
I think the service you’re providing is excellent. M**** has only had a couple of lessons and is doing so well!
Thank you for the car parking on the tennis courts. Also for the last week of term where you let them play. It’s lovely to see all their smiling faces.
O**** is doing brilliant, we have seen a huge improvement.
E**** loves the swimming lessons with Ian.

You listen well to parents concerns.
Excellent progress made. The teacher is good on discipline. Thank you for all you have done for him. He has done so well.
The teachers are incredibly patient and therefore enable the children to gain confidence very quickly. My son found it all rather daunting the first few lessons and screamed loudly for half of each lesson for 4 weeks. Now he loves it. Thank you.
Everything’s great. B****** really loves achieving the badges and certificates. Thank you.
No comments other than thanks, you are doing a great job. My daughter loves her lessons!
Absolutely brilliant lessons, J****** has come on so much.
Absolutely brilliant lessons, E**** has come on so much
L**** likes lots of encouragement and quiet reassurance. She is enjoying her class although is nervous about certain aspects.
Another fantastic term. R******** can now swim 100m. All credit goes to the excellent teaching and encouragement of the staff. R******’s Dad came to watch for the first time and was very impressed by the lessons and what made it extra special was that R****** swam her 100m. We were both very proud parents.
Very pleased so far with the lessons – only started in January. Very pleased with the teachers.
We are very pleased with J****’s progress in this group – great teacher!
Wonderful group that P***’s in now, thanks to Anna. Sueli is great and P***’s come on leaps and bounds. Thank you!
Thank you for making M****’s swimming lesson enjoyable.
I have been very impressed by the way L**** is being taught and the attention she receives. I will be recommending Farnborough Fins.
Philly has put my mind at rest regarding E********. I know she is progressing well and E******** is elated at swimming 100m.
E**** has come on leaps and bounds. I am very pleased with her progress.
I have been so impressed with Kerry’s teaching. A** really enjoys coming to lessons and has improved so much!
I like the way you do not make a big deal about tests/assessments and don’t make the children aware of them.
We are very pleased with K***’s progress and the fact that Paul makes him listen. Paul has been a great swimming teacher for K***. K*** always tells me how much he has learnt and enjoyed each session. Thank you.
You do, do it extremely well – Keep it going.
You do well! S** has made Fab progress.
Regular, reliable, good teachers. Good communication with parents
