I had an amazing experience learning how to swim with Simon! He is patient, knowledgeable, and makes every lesson enjoyable. Simon explains techniques clearly and gives helpful tips that build confidence in the water. I really appreciated how he tailored the lessons to my pace and skill level, ensuring I felt safe and supported throughout the process. Thanks to Simon, I’ve gained skills I never thought I could achieve. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and encouraging swimming instructor!

I just wanted to say thank you and share how grateful we are for your incredible instruction. Your ability to connect with my grandson and help him overcome his fear of the water was amazing. The progress he's made day by day is truly commendable. I will definitely recommend you and continue booking lessons with you!

I had an incredible experience learning with Simon! In just one session, I saw a huge improvement in both my front stroke and treading. I went from struggling with form and breathing to confidently swimming a full length with proper technique — all thanks to their clear, patient, and encouraging teaching style. They gave focused, actionable feedback that made things click for me quickly. I also really appreciated their follow-up and openness to feedback — it shows real dedication to being the best instructor they can be. Highly recommend booking a session if you're looking to build confidence and skill in the water.

Before Simon's lesson, I sank like a stone. After 5 minutes in the pool with him, I could float. By the end of the hour, I was swimming! I'm so happy that I feel more confident now. I'm excited to practice what I've learned. Simon was really patient, professional, and fun at the same time. He observed my errors and corrected them quickly. Highly recommend!

Simon is an outstanding swim instructor — professional, always on time, and incredibly supportive. He makes you feel comfortable right away and focuses on helping you improve with patience and care. His teaching is clear, step-by-step, and very effective. I was amazed at how much progress I made in just a few days as a complete beginner. He teaches multiple skills in one lesson and helps you master them by the end of class. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your growth and knows how to get you there, I highly recommend Simon!

About Simon G.

Hey, I'm Simon! I've joined Propel to teach private lessons and give my students better instructions than they would receive through public lessons. Building a good and more genuine connection with my students is also very important to me because the better I know the student, the easier it is to teach them! I'm a good instructor because I know how to make swim lessons engaging by adding some fun, but also making sure to stick to lesson plans and teach new skills. I have taught over 500 lessons through the City of Toronto and have 500+ hours of instructional experience.
