What People Say
The theory sessions in the Swim Dynamics Instructor's Training Course were extremely insightful. Our instructor, Ms. Dee Barnard, demonstrated exceptional knowledge and passion for the subject, drawing from her vast experience. During the online format, Ms. Barnard ensured our active engagement in conversations, creating an immersive experience that felt like we were gathered in an amazing venue. The online platform unified us, bridging geographical gaps between participants from different provinces. The enriching information in each chapter of our booklets was well-structured, highlighting crucial and valuable aspects. The homework and instructions provided prepared us thoroughly, enabling us to confidently implement the Learn to Swim program in our own private capacity. Our instructor's reassurance and confidence were palpable and greatly appreciated. This course heightened my awareness of the vital importance of learning to swim and how to effectively teach it as a future instructor. The opportunity to learn from someone as engaged and knowledgeable as Ms. Barnard was thrilling. Thank you for this invaluable course. From the St Paulus Swimming Instructors and enthusiasts.
What I love about the SDIT courses is that they are of a very high standard, very professional and equip you in all aspects of teaching swimming. They also offer sound business advice, which makes the training all encompassing if you are looking to start your own swim school. I highly recommend SDIT for anyone who is planning on becoming a swimming teacher, or would like to polish their skills.
Not only did Swim Dynamics teach me the proper swimming techniques, but it also taught me how to learn independently, how to stick with a problem and find ways of solving it, and perhaps most significantly, the experience taught me the skills that will enable me to continue to develop my technical swimming skills. The Course material was good, the mentoring approach was good, and interacting with other people via online was interesting. Shellby Verweij did a good job in arranging the intimate lessons. Shellby is very good and I think it’s a very solid course. I learned a lot.
My journey began here. From a general pool minder and gateman to owning my own swim school. All thanks to Making Waves swim school as it hosted some SDIT Courses and that was when l was sent to do my level one with Swim Dynamics. l did well for my level one and the following year l did my level two again with Swim Dynamics. Now wherever l teach, people ask which courses did l do and tell them SDIT is the way to go. l will never stop referring friends and those willing to be the best teachers ever! Thank you Bev for everything you taught me.
My experience so far has been that SDIT is efficient, professional, approachable and accommodating.
Not only was the level two course absolutely phenomenal, filled with invaluable information, but Bev is a true inspiration. Imparting knowledge to ensure that we are the best possible coaches for the generations to come. I cannot thank you enough!
I am truly thankful to know about Swim Dynamics… You all rock!!! Really love how you run your courses and all notes provided… Bev you made it really extra special with your true love and kindness. You care in such a gentle way. Bless you SWIM DYNAMICS for doing what you are doing.
Thank you Bev for a superb course. I have expanded my knowledge immensely and feel more confident about giving lessons and starting up a business. I wish I had done it earlier. You will see me again!
