Congratulations to Leo!
We’re excited to announce Leo as our Swimmer of the Month. Leo has shown fantastic progress in the pool and is a great example of perseverance and positive attitude in swimming lessons.
A Big Achievement
Leo recently advanced from Seahorse level and is now moving into Platypus – a wonderful milestone that reflects his growing confidence and ability in the water. His teacher shared that Leo is a joy to teach and they’re proud of the progress he’s made. They’re excited to see how he continues to develop in the coming weeks.
A Supportive Environment
Leo’s mum also shared some lovely feedback about his experience. She noted that Tom, Leo’s swimming instructor, has played a key role in helping him overcome his fear of the water. With Tom’s support and encouragement, Leo has not only gained confidence but also formed a great connection with his teacher.
Well done, Leo! Keep up the great work in the water, we can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
