Testimonials

Brad is a great swimming instructor. He makes you feel at ease and is very accommodating. My children have flourished to become independent swimmers under his tutelage and I am pleased to recommend him.

Jack was diagnosed with Beckers’ Muscular Dystrophy last year. As part of his physio-therapy, Jack has been taking swimming lessons with Bradley. Although Jack is a strong swimmer and loves being in the water, Bradley’s experience with similar conditions has been instrumental in tailoring Jack’s swimming lessons to support his muscle growth, significantly improve Jack’s technique and personal confidence. Bradley’s instruction and ability to teach is outstanding. His patience and enthusiasm to keep working on a new technique or improve on an already established method, has definitely helped Jack focus and learn quickly. I can honestly say that Bradley is an excellent swimming coach. I have no issues with highly recommending Bradley to anyone, young or not so young and at any level of swimming. Thanks Bradley for all your continued help with Jack.

Brad has taught every member of my family swimming. Both of my girls look forward to swimming lessons every week. They have both made unbelievable progress. My younger daughter has gone from being afraid of going in the pool to swimming being her favourite thing to do. My older daughter can now do 24 laps of the pool non-stop which she would never have attempted before. Brad challenges the children to be the best they can be but also balances this nicely with making the lessons fun. He ensures they don’t adopt any bad swimming habits and has a big focus on technical skills. He tailors his approach to each person’s specific needs and listens to feedback. As a child, I had the fear of water and never wanted to go near the pool or sea. I am now a more confident swimmer as a result of Brad’s incredible teaching skills. I would highly recommend Swimming for Gould!

As a family of 4, we’ve been attending Brad’s swimming lessons for 6 years. It started with my then 3 year old daughter, followed by myself looking to improve my swimming technique and then my wife (who had no swimming experience at all!) and now my 5 year old son.

Brad has been exceptional with every one of us tailoring his teaching accordingly to ensure we all extract maximum value from each session & progress as expected.

We have since recommended Brad to other friends/families who have also signed up as a result of our feedback and we will continue to do so.

I am a member of Everlast in Swindon.

I just wanted to say how brilliant Brad your swimming instructor is with the children he teaches at Everlast on a Saturday.

My son is a young adult now waiting for an ADHD assessment and after watching Brad last Saturday 1 so wished Will had had a swimming teacher like Brad. What I observed was that he was firm but fair with the children he was teaching and one of the main things I observed was that Brad wanted to get the best out of each individual child.

He was supporting a young lad with additional needs on a 1-1 basis and I was blown away on how he interacted with this lad, he ecouraged him and continually gave him reassurance.

Brad is a real asset to your company an I would recommend him to friends and family.

Absolutely recommend Swimming For Gould! Bradley taught both my boys to swim. He is amazingly patient and encouraging as well as having a great understanding of Special Needs (both my boys are on the autistic spectrum).
