Overall a great experience. You gained her trust and respect from day 1 which was very important for such a short training course. You were flexible with dates and understanding which I really appreciated it especially when she was not feeling well. I could tell immediately that you were an experienced coach as you assessed her and built a plan from day 1. Sessions started on time and were well structured with targets that she needed to reach. You had patience with her even at times that she was tired (thank you!). Even though it was a short course you were thinking of her future and how she can improve overall. The videos and extra exercises were very helpful and the session in the sea was fun for her and interesting for me to see how the sea water (higher buoyant force) can help with training. She improved a lot during the course and she realized it too! The training course gave her confidence that she can swim without aid in the big swimming pool at her school. She says that she will remember your tips in September (legs together, point, make bubbles, silent strokes, closed fingers, push away with both legs). Thanks again!
