Once we moved him to Lydia's Swimming Club, he immediately evolved into a skilled, competitive swimmer.

This swim club has been a life-saver for my child (almost literally!). After having watched my son…read more(age 7 now) spend over a year in pointless 30 minutes Burnaby recreational swimming lessons (with 8 kids per group and overworked, time pressured instructors), failing levels over and over again, I decided to give this club a try. In just the past 4 lessons with Dynamo Swim Club he has improved exponentially. He now has a confidence and enthusiasm for swimming which was sadly lacking, due to his previous experiences. I sincerely recommend this club to every parent that has been though the same scenario as myself. Lidia and her team of instructors are kind, knowledgable and encouraging. The class sizes are small and the lesson time of one hour makes a big difference. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

My swimming lesson with Vladimir was excellent. I am a senior who never had a swimming lesson…read morebefore but have never been afraid of the water. My goal is to learn to breathe correctly so that I can do laps at any swimming pool for exercise. Vlad is super! He has started teaching me strokes and how to breathe and while not easy at the beginning with practice I will be on my way! I enjoy not being committed to schedule as I mind my grandchildren quite a bit so the flexibility built into this program is perfect for me. The plan is to practise at my local pool between lessons. I am very happy with my instructor Vladimir and the Propel Swim School. Thank you.

Wyatt has been our instructor and he is so kind and teaches with so much ease. After a couple sessions I have seen much progress and confidence grow within my daughter.

We booked our first lesson after pandemic for my daughters on that snow storm day, Vancouver traffic was a mass, the road to that Port Coquitlam pool was unreachable, there's a narrow curvy and very steep road leading to that pool, and cars and trucks are sliding down hill. Propel must known that since it's their location, but there was NO way to contact Propel or the instructor throughout the day. When they finally get back to me many days later they said they're just a platform, so they don't care about anything, students and instructor safety are not their concern, as long as they're getting their share of the fee. Very disappointed, my first time and last time.

I signed up my young son to do swim lesson with Propel and just after one class, my son is already…read moreloving it and I can already tell it will be well worth it. Having to have my son enrolled in community group swim lesson before, we tried twice, the progress just was not there. The instructor has too big of a group to attend to and it was difficult for young kids to truly learn/progress in their swim. Even before the lesson started, the email communication received with all the instruction and direction was very well written. The instructor was prompt to start the lesson and was very attentive to the needs of those who are learning. (I showed up early with my son so I was observing the person prior to my son's lesson). My son is already asking when he will go back to swim lesson again, now thAt is truly a positive sign that my son enjoyed it n wants to be back! We are signing up for more lessons!

But this year I decided that I would overcome this fear and that's when I met Diogo!! He is very patient and made me feel comfortable and safe since my first lesson. It is very easy to understand the instructions and when I don't get something, he demonstrates even if it is a simple movement. In classes we always train different movements so it is not monotonous or tiring. By the second lesson I could already float and move in the pool. And the progress I've seen in 3 weeks is unbelievable. Now I can say that I really enjoy when I'm into the water!! Thank you so much, Diogo!!
