SwimSwim lessons with Niloofar B.

My daughter had a great time with Niloofar. She took the time to understand my daughter's current level, and gave her just the right level of challenge. She had great energy and connected well with my daughter.

Friendly and knowledgeable instructor - highly recommend.

Excellent, patient instructor. Highly recommend learning swim with Niloofer.

Niloofar is a great swimming instructor. Kids find her to be fun and amazing.I appreciated her patient and professional approach. She kept both of my kids busy during the lesson. Kids find her encouraging and enjoyable. Highly recommend her!

After years of not knowing how to swim, I decided to try booking a private swim lesson through Propel. For context purposes, I am an adult male (18-35) whose only prior swim experience was doing swim lessons when I was in elementary school at a public pool, so in essence no experience. I do not have a fear of water but am not comfortable in deep water (i.e. when I cannot touch the bottom with my feet). After taking one (1) lesson with Niloofar, I feel much more confident in the water and was able to accomplish so much more compared to lessons in a public pool as a child. She is a fantastic instructor who is extremely patient and takes great care to teach according to her students' comfort level and capabilities. Niloofar provides excellent real-timefeedback and will run you through drills that are able to reinforce the lessons that she is teaching to you. A few suggestions for anyone considering booking with her: - Be clear about your prior swim experience and comfort level in the water, along with what you are looking to achieve (she can't address a problem if she doesn't know about it). - She can't turn you into Michael Phelps in a single lesson (unless you are already an Olympic level swimmer or Aquaman), but she can help you to progress much faster than taking public swim lessons in a group setting. - Quality swim goggles (from a sporting goods store such as Sport Chek or Decathalon) are definitely recommended, especially if you are a beginner. - What you are able to accomplish with her will ultimately depend on your prior swim experience as well as your comfort level in the water. Overall, based on my experience, I would highly recommend Niloofar as an instructor, especially for beginners, as she is extremely clear in her instruction and provides excellent instruction on foundational swimming skills. Bonus: As I have only booked a single lesson through Propel at this point, and have not worked with any other instructors, if my experience with Niloofar is reflective of all Propel's swim instructors, then their marketing is definitely accurate and booking lessons through Propel is significantly better than group lessons in a public pool.

Niloofar has been great with my kids (aged 5 and 3). As beginners, they were both very hesitant in the water. However, In just 2 lessons she has taught them to not only be more comfortable, but also starting to swim independently. I would recommend her to others without hesitation.
