Testimonials

“I can't praise dawn enough. she is so patient, kind and makes the swimming classes fun!

the girls love Ms dawn and feel so comfortable with her. dawn has been teaching my kids the last 5 years. Both my girls are very confident swimmers thanks to dawn and their favorite part of the week is when they have their swimming classes with dawn so they can work on their new skills.

i would highly recommend dawn - there is a reason we have continued to swim with her every week for the last 8 years and i still tell everyone in Dubai she is the best swim coach!”

"Coaches need Coaches

I write to affirm my confidence in Dawn Venturas as an outstanding coach and business woman.

I have known Dawn for a number of years and being a multi sport coach myself, I have enlisted her coaching expertise when I required technical analysis in improving my own swimming training.

As a result of her skill set and great teaching communication, I currently have my 3 year old son being taught by her.

Her professionalism has been exemplary since I have known her and I am confident in writing this to co sign her great ability and vision.

I will be happy to talk with anyone needing further assurances of how great an individual she is."

"It is thanks to Dawn that our son Philip is now like a fish in the water and totally unafraid.

We started baby swimming with Dawn when he was only 5 weeks, and even though he was our first baby and we were a bit unsure at first, she was so professional and good with the babies that we straight away felt at ease.

Would recommend to anyone!"
