I’m very impressed with Toronto Swim School. Their programs are professional, well-structured, and extremely effective. The instructors are highly trained and supportive, creating a great learning environment. Special thanks to the director, Mr. Mehrdad Hajir, for his exceptional leadership and dedication.
I had a great experience getting all my necessary certificates to become a swim instructor. The process is quick and efficient and I’ve learnt important techniques and got a basic understanding of the job and procedures in the case of an emergency. It’s also very good in terms of time and planning a schedule fit for yourself. Overall, everyone here is so supportive in terms of answering questions and helping you improve! I would totally recommend this place to anyone in need of receiving certifications
After reading all the good reviews, I've sign my young child up for swimming (10 classes) at a 2:1 ratio. However, we had a BAD experience. I suspect the amazing reviews are coming from teens or adults in terms of getting their lifeguard certification. But I want to warn other parents here whom want to sign up their YOUNG kids to this school. I have an older child whom have done lessons at swim-time, and other professional swim schools, now in swim level 5 and never experience these issues before. (1) every class a new teacher. Each time I "personally" had to explain to the new teacher about my child's progress. This does not make sense to me. The constant change of teachers means each class there is an introduction and the teacher have no clue how to help my child on progressing to the next step. The new teachers have barely any guidance from the owner. (2) during the 10 week course, there was no program , no structure on what my child should be learning or obtained skills after the course. At the end of the 10 weeks, there was no next steps or comments whatsoever. Even a City class would give you a report on the next steps. With the high expensive cost of the swim class here, I expect more. (3) The teacher seems to be unable to accommodate 2 kids with 2 different levels. Several instances another child maybe more comfortable with water, and the teacher would carry my child like a baggage walking back and forth. This is BIZZARE to me. I have never seen this in any of the previous schools. In my past experience usually the child would wait on the side for their turn. Never ever would they be carry around like this. I have raise my concerns and the teacher would brush me off and said she cannot handle 2 kids? and told me to talk to the owner. Another instance with another teacher was she took my child closer to the slight deeper end, and my child wasn't tall enough, then of course choking in water and crying. This again gave me RED flags and tells me the teacher have no clue what she is doing. I'm a swimmer myself and was completely shock by how these teachers are just thrown in without guidance on what they should be doing. Only rare instances I see the owner jumps in. To other parents, I notice some of the reviews here are from the teachers themselves. Hence I wouldn't trust all the reviews posted here. Overall, I would never go back to this swim school and would NOT RECOMMEND anyone with young children.
