Ali is an excellent, wonderful teacher, very patient and kind, with an excellent discerning eye for things that need working on, as well as ways to improve it. After many frustrating years of not being able to swim, I am now very confident that, with Ali's kind help, I will finally be able to learn how to swim. Many sincere thanks to Ali and Propel.

Ali is great with our daughter. He’s kind and patience. And He’s really helped her swimming to improve. He keeps her focused and pushes her out of her comfort zone. It’s been wonderful to see her growth.

Ali really helped me to understand what I needed to prove and how to improve them, he talked me through step by step everything I needed help with and definitely gave me confidence! I will definitely be booking another lesson 🙂

I had my first lesson with Ali and am very satisfied with the results. He always provided clear explanations of the techniques including useful recommendations for practice and improvement, and even provided demonstrations to make it easier to understand. Overall, I have made good progress working with Ali and would definitely recommend lessons with him, both for beginners as well as those looking to improve their technique.

My son made great progress with Ali, highly recommended! In one lesson he progressed in his front stroke and learned back stroke. Ali was patient and kind.

Ali is super patient, and really takes the time to analyze your stroke and is very creative with his lessons. I am making great progress after just two lessons, can’t wait for more. I am an older guy who can swim but have a terrible stroke, breathing etc. Ali is great for anyone who wants to learn the right way to swim. Highly recommended!
