SWIM ACCELERATION
Following the closure of The Pavilion Club, Swim Acceleration School has now closed. We are not running swimming lessons for the foreseeable future.
Swim Acceleration would like to thank all our customers, swimmers, teachers and parents for their loyalty and support. We wish you all the best of luck for the future and hope you will continue your swimming journey.
As I approach the last of my swim lessons tomorrow, I wanted to write and thank you for your kindness and patience during my sessions and I hope that you will forward this email to anyone who is thinking of having some lessons with you.
Growing up in Malta and surrounded by beaches, I have always swum. But I have never been able to crawl, never been taught, and have always admired the “crawlers” in the pool at the Pavilion. Then, one day I saw you teaching a lesson in the pool and thought that this was what I needed. So, at the age of 65, with the words, “never too late to learn” in my mind, I signed up with you! And I have been so pleased with my progress. You have taught me the technique with patience and understanding and I now feel confident with this style and continue to work on perfecting it.
Thank you Vlad.
With my best wishes,

Hi ,
I would like to offer my testimonial;
I plucked up the courage to contact Swim Acceleration after Vladimir was recommended to me by the Team on reception at the Pavilion, who had all heard great things about his ability to teach adults as well as Children.
My very first conversation with him put me as ease as he was so understanding and flexible.
I decided to take the 10 lesson course and started in Oct/Nov 2014. You know how it is when you start something new that is out of your comfort zone? - you need to continue with the momentum or you are likely to stop ?.. well Vlad just didn't let that happen and was able to fit my next lesson in ASAP. There was a break over the Xmas period and we got straight back into it in the new year.
He was very encouraging and patient. A very natural teacher, calm and assertive. He empathised with my phobia, he recommended some research reading and utube and then during the lessons he just broke things down into little manageable steps; i.e. floating, breathing etc, explaining and demonstrating as we went along, so that I could relax and believe in myself.
The 10 lessons quickly came to an end at which point I was just a few strokes short of the length of the pool in Front crawl.
I practise as often as possible and look forward so much to getting into the pool; something I never used to do!. Swimming is now part of my fitness regime and I'm doing many lengths and sometimes spending up to 40 minutes in the pool.
I am looking forward to this summer especially jumping in the pool with my son on holiday .ooh dare I?. I think I just might!
Huge thanks to Vladimir and good luck to any adults taking the plunge, Go on do it, you wont regret it!

“Swim Acceleration Coach Vladimir is very patient, and listens to what you want to achieve. I’d been swimming regularly for years when I developed a hip problem and was
advised not to use breast stroke, so I wanted to learn strokes which would enable me to keep doing what I enjoyed.
Vlad gave me lots of ideas, and much to my surprise I can now swim front crawl with confidence.
You’re never too old to learn,
and my next target is to swim front crawl in the London Olympic pool.
Thanks Vlad.
