We’ve been part of a swim academy for the past two years, but for the last year, my child showed little to no progress, stuck at the same level despite consistent attendance. Even as a non-swimmer myself, I could clearly see that my child wasn’t kicking properly. I raised this concern multiple times with the academy, but unfortunately, it was never addressed seriously. That’s when I turned to Thumbstack, where I’ve had great experiences with freelancers in the past. I found Fahmi in December 2024. At that time, my child was still enrolled at the academy for the season, and we don’t have access to a pool in our community. But Fahmi worked with me to ensure that the lack of a pool wouldn’t become a roadblock to starting proper swim classes. I initially signed up for 20 sessions with him. By the 6th class, I was already seeing significant improvement and immediately signed up for another 20. Fahmi brings incredible energy to every session and connects with my 6-year-old in a way that makes learning fun and effective. This personal connection and enthusiasm were completely missing in the swim academy environment. As a sportsperson myself, I understand the importance of precision and progress in training. That’s exactly why I’ve continued with Fahmi, his approach is clearly driven by passion, not just business. I’m also planning to start lessons with him for my other child soon, just waiting for the right time. Highly recommend Fahmi to any parent looking for a dedicated, passionate, and effective swim instructor!

We’ve been incredibly happy with Fahmi, who has been teaching swimming to both of our kids. From the very first lesson, he made them feel comfortable and confident in the water. He’s patient, friendly, and has a natural way of connecting with children—both of our kids absolutely love him and look forward to every class! Fahmi is always punctual, professional, and comes prepared with a structured lesson plan while still making the sessions fun and engaging. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a huge improvement in the kids’ comfort level and swimming skills. They’ve gone from being hesitant in the water to confidently swimming and having fun. What we appreciate most is how Fahmi balances discipline with encouragement. He’s firm when needed but always kind and motivating. His positive energy really sets the tone for the entire session. Highly recommend Fahmi to any parent looking for a skilled and caring swim instructor. Thank you for making swimming such a fun and rewarding experience for our kids!

I had my first swimming lesson with Fahmi yesterday, and it was an incredible experience. From the start, he took the time to address my past experiences and fears, ensuring I felt comfortable before we even began. His thoughtful and strategic approach made all the difference—starting with helping me float on my back and gradually building my confidence. By the end of the hour, I was swimming a little on my own, which I never thought I’d achieve so quickly. Fahmi’s patience and focus on breathing and overcoming fears make him an exceptional teacher. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and effective swimming instructor!

FAQs

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I understand that everyone has their commitments, vacations, and unexpected circumstances that can arise. However, I want to share my commitment to you and your goals as well. As a coach, I am dedicated to working hard to help you achieve your objectives and to grow our goals together. It’s important to recognize that frequent cancellations not only affect financial planning, but they also require a strong commitment to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. Swimming, for example, is a challenging sport that demands discipline and perseverance. Picture yourself mastering the water and feeling a sense of accomplishment. This transformation is possible when we commit to the process.
