You have a swimming talent that is exceptional, an ability to impart your knowledge that makes it all seem so easy and so achievable, a passion that is contagious. You have certainly left your mark - Thanks !!!”, JULES |
| “Thanks Anita, for saying such nice things about Cass. She loves swimming, everything about it. The hard practises and the galas as well. She is a talented swimmer, but you have brought out the best in her. Truly, you will be missed here at ASD. Cassidy loves swimming for you. “ Blessings! Marcia | |
| “By the way, I hear nothing but HUGE praise for you and your very talented methods at coaching young swimmers. Hats off to you Anita!” | |
| “Thanks for a great meet. Jeremy was amazing with his backstroke and it really helped boost his self-confidence. All of this would not be possible without an awesome coach. Thanks” Patricia | |
| “ We are highly supportive of the programs and approach used by H2O in teaching children to swim. Our observation is that the H2O program places a high level of emphasis on developing the technique of the children as swimmers.” | |
| “The contact with the office staff, the assessment at the pool and the lessons have all been handled in a very friendly and efficient manner.” | |
| “Thanks for the schedule and the great detail about the "what's and the why's" regarding practice. I've never had any stroke instruction or lessons past about page 12, so all of this is very new and interesting to me! “ Scott Herrington Athletic Director ASD | |
| “Just wanted to drop a note to tell you how impressed I am with the way you are handling/managing the swim team this year. I am very thankful to have such a pro like yourself involved in my son's physical education. Have a wonderful season!” Natascha Edelmann | |

“Thank you for all the information you're giving us parents. You're always so busy and engaged at the pool that I was too shy to take any of your precious time to simply express how much it means to me that Annamaria has YOU as a coach !! I feel so lucky! Coming from a swimmer's family in Austria I was in national competitions myself as a teenager and I would have never imagined to find such a great teacher for my daughter (especially in Dubai). It's a pleasure and honor to help you anyway you like and need, anytime! Just let me know and you got yourself a volunteer! Thanks for your hard work and your great scholastic teaching” sincerely, Susanna Wakileh |
| “…Lastly, just want to let you know that me ( and many more parents) are very happy to see such improvements our kids have made. Thanks to you. Ayesha enjoys being in the team so much. Just like tonight. She has to do her homework in which her teacher asked her to write sentences using words that were given by the teacher. 8 out of the 10 sentences she made was about you and the training.” Flora Adriani | |
| “As this year’s swim season is off to a very successful start, I wanted to thank you for all your hard work and guidance as the American School of Dubai’s swim coach. I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with you for the past one and a half years. You have taught me so much about training children to swim competitively. Your knowledge, determination and superior motivational skills make you the most dedicated coach I have had the pleasure to work with. To see these youngsters go from thrashing in the water to proficient and disciplined swimmers is a credit to you. The entire team’s strokes are the envy of other swim clubs coaches, and you are the driving force that taught these children such good swim habits. | |
| I have worked along side other head coaches for many years. You are by far the most professional, talented and organized individual I have had the pleasure to work with and learn from. The school will certainly miss you next year but, I as a swim parent and assistant coach will feel the impact of your leave far greater than one can imagine. Thank you,Dorothea Benintende | |
| “…it is remarkable how the girls, since last year, have progressed and it is delightful to see their enthusiasm and sheer enjoyment of their swimming lessons to date. This is probably as a result of the swimming teachers you have provided..” | |
| “In my experience H2O are a consistently well run and efficient organisation employing both office staff and teachers who are skilled in their roles and very pleasant to deal with.” | |
| “The lessons are logical and consistent in the teaching, with close attention to the development of pupil skills and level of assistance required.” | |
 |
“All three of our children are attending H2O swim classes having started at an early age and are enjoying the experience. This is due to the professional manner in how the programs are conducted and managed, and the quality of your staff.” |
| “We are delighted with the progress our children have made in the pool since joining the H2O programme. The instructors have managed to improve their respective techniques enormously while keeping the lessons motivational and fun.” | |
| “From my side of the fence there appears a very friendly and coherent group of staff and coaches. Their friendly and encouraging attitudes rub off onto our children…..It takes a great team of staff and management to produce this appearance…”
|
|
| “I have been to other swim schools before H2O and really love the longer 45 minute class duration. It really gives the children a chance to digest and progress.” | |
| “I must congratulate Anita and her team for maintaining such a productive swimming school… They have excelled in management, PR and often counselling..” | |
| “I wouldn’t take my children elsewhere.” | |
| “…It has been great to see her technique improve so much with your support and guidance. It's been great for her to swim with a group again and to see how far she has come in one term. She has really enjoyed the sessions. Thanks again…” | |
| Just wanted to let you know how appreciative we are of the assistance you have given Em with her swimming technique since commencing with H2O. Your time and patience with her is admirable. We thought long and hard about moving swim schools for Emily. Word of mouth brought us to H2O. We have not looked back since arriving at H2O. (Well maybe only to realise what we missed out on!) We attribute Em's rapid improvement to the great coaching she has received. If you could pass on our gratitude to Tom and Leeana also. Above all else the most meaningful thing to us is Em's happiness. She can't wait to get to training and is beaming when she comes home. Thank you. |
