Simon is truly the swim smith, sensational! We have a group session to include our two children; one being quite severely autistic and the other totally neurotypical. Simon tailors his teaching to relax them both whilst also encouraging each to keep improving their swimming abilities. This is no small feat since one is completely non verbal and doesn’t always understand. To be able to teach both in the small pool at the same time is just simply wonderful and a huge relief for us a parents since it’s been such a challenge to find anyone to help accommodate our autistic sons needs without the determent of the neurotypical sibling. There’s never any judgement if one our kids are having an off day (or perhaps a freak out/meltdown) Simon and Jo completely get it and because of this both Simon and Jo give off such a peaceful and nurturing energy that we just couldn’t be without them now. They have taught both children to trust themselves in the water, lose that fear and even starting to swim without their swimming vests! We are so happy with our children’s progress and so grateful to have the lessons with Simon, he truly has made a huge difference and look forward to future lessons with him!
