Quotations
Emily Chambers,Lily’s ASA Level 2 coach, said:
Lily is a genuine pleasure to teach. Her listening skills and progress this term has been excellent and she will become a fast swimmer one day. Considering she only started swimming with us in April, she has picked up new and useful skills and swimming strokes that will stay with her for the rest of her life.
Lizzy McConnell, Contract Manager for Paradise Pool, commented:
We really want to do our bit to get the local children active and involved with swimming, and we are pleased that Lily and all the other young swimmers are doing so well. We hope that these swimming courses will help capture the imagination of other young people in the area, and make them aware of the facilities that Paradise Pool can offer.
