Swim Atlanta Sugarloaf

"Good day everyone, My name is Valerie everyone calls me Val. I would love to share my experience with you. Let’s begin, first and foremost I was so afraid, and intimidated due to the fact that I have not taken any lessons since I graduated from high school in 1978! Yep 78 now in my early sixties, my first lesson was with a phenomenal instructor, named Teddy. To my amazement my fears subsided quickly thank God! Mr. Teddy was so kind and patient with me and assured me that my age did not matter, I can do this. With that being said I must tell you I have tired to swim on a few occasions, vacationing with my family to no avail. Nevertheless, my goal now 45 years later is to get in the water without fear of drowning, conquer my breathing, and learn all the basics by my vacation/birthday! - Mr. Teddy has me off to a fantastic start with four sessions under my belt. So at whatever stage in life you begin this journey of learning to swim Mr. Teddy will help you get their he will inspire you to press forward with tenacity. His wisdom, compassion and love for this sport is evident. You ready? Join me lets swim! Thanks Mr. Teddy -Val"

"Hey Guys I'm Claire and I'm 60 years old. I wanted to take swimming lessons after coming back from Puerto Rico for my birthday, so I decided to take swimming lessons for the first time. Swim Atlanta is 5 minutes from my house and there is where I met my swim instructor Teddy. All I can say is Awesome!!! He is an amazing teacher, very patient, very encouraging. My successes were his. If it's your first time in the water or you need a refresher course, he's your man."

"I signed up for adult beginners in Dec and has been taking lessons with Teddy for 2 months. He’s an amazing teacher. The first day he asked me a couple questions to gauge my skill levels and my comfort in the water. He can see where everyone’s skills/comfort level is different and will tailor it to for each person, which in my opinion makes an amazing teacher. Once signed up for classes, you also get adult swim lap times that you can come in your own time to practice. I highly recommend Teddy and Swim Atlanta."

"I joined the three week beginner session and my instructor was Teddy. He’s an amazing instructor who eagerly wants you to learn how to swim. He’s patient and will make sure you get the techniques right. I also appreciate the tutorial videos he sends to his students. He’s the best!"

"I decided to sign up for the adult beginner swim lessons at Swim Atlanta after 36 years of not being able to swim. I came in with no experience and being afraid of the water. It was bad y’all… it was to the point where my own husband, after one trip to the pool with me, said he couldn’t teach me and would rather just pay someone else to do it. So I signed up for swim lessons at Swim Atlanta hoping to be just ‘a little more’ comfortable. So y’all, I just finished my third lesson at Swim Atlanta and I really feel like a totally different person. My instructor Teddy nothing short of amazing. He was patient, he was kind and he met me right where I was at skill wise. He did not rush me, yet he challenged me just enough to help me leave each session feeling a bit more comfortable while acquiring a new skill. It really felt like he taught four individual classes (within the one group class), because the person that needed technique and form skills got just that and the person that was completely new to water was able to learn at their own pace. It’s definitely been challenging, but I’ll say that each time I go Teddy always encourages me, he helps me relax and I always leave being a better swimmer than I came. He has definitely has a gift. So if you are a new or beginner swimmer please do yourself a favor and sign up for his class!"
