Are you talking about SwimPlus? Ako din Day 2 pa lang natuto na ko ng breaststroke although I still needto improve my arm pull and whip kick coordination. Here's Coach Ed Loteria's number for those interested to enroll: 0916-5425149

@khymmm/swim_fatale,

Sa Ultra ba venue nyo? Also interested in taking a lesson. Totoo ba 2,500 ang rate kapag may referral? 

And Ilan ang max student per session?

Thanks in advance.

 A bit off the topic(OT if you prefer)
Someone from this thread asks why chose female instructors?
I specifically chose to find straight female instructors because it comforts my mindset that I am safe
while in 1-1 trainning or learning a new skill. i had one very first bad experience when i was 21yrs old learning how to drive from an unprincipled instructor. i did not complete my driving lessons and kept silent with the issue and shrug it away as a bad incident. I am always dressed casually(long jeans, plain polo shirt)I never flirted or talk nonsense with any of my instructors even in my younger years. But this does not mean all instructors are bad or hyenas. I just have to keep guard myself everytime. Though male instructors are the best coach when it comes to technical trainning, i would hate to punish myself "over respecting" my trainor when I paid for that trainning and for the experience.

I just want to share my swimming lesson experience last year at Syvilletech Training and Development Center. They are affiliated to De Voyager Academy or I can say na iisa lang sila.

I and my bf are really eager to learn swimming for our boracay trip. Gusto kasi namin puntahan ang Ariel's point kaya gusto namin matutong lumangoy. So nagresearch kami ng cheapest swimming lesson sa internet and we found their ad in sulit.

The advertisement is very tempting because it offers unli-swimming for P1999 for one month. So we enrolled there. We enrolled last year, noong sembreak. That was last October. Dalawa lang ang lagi naming nakaka-usap, si Ms. Maricel whom I think is the boss and si Ms. Emerlyn, who is the frontdesk personnel.Going back, our coach (Sir Harry) was actually a former coach from Bert Lozada, so talagang magaling sya and we learned a lot during our 3 sessions of swimming lessons. Actually marunong na nga akong magdog paddle at nakakatawid na ng pool. Marunong na din ako ng floating through dog paddling and marunong na ako a little bit of freestyle. We were really very happy and we were thinking na nakamura talaga kami. Sad to say, nakaka-3 sessions pa lang kami until now.

Here's the story. Nung tumawag kami sa syvilletech for our 4th session, nagsakit daw ang instructor namin so hindi na natuloy. After a week, tumawag ako ulit and they told me na may sakit pa rin daw, dahil na-hospital. So sige, naintindihan ko. Tapos after a week ulit, I called them and they offered me na hahanapan na lang daw nila kami ng bagong instructor. So nag-go na ako so we can resume the swimming lesson. After like a week, I called them. Wala pa daw instructor. A week again, may ini-interview na daw sila. Then, after a week, eh inaayos pa daw. And take note, ako lagi ang tumatawag sa kanila, never silang nag-update sa amin. Never silang tumawag or nag-text para sa update.

At dahil doon at napagod na din ako mag-update, sabi ko i-resume na lang sa Christmas break para tuloy-tuloy. Agree naman sila. Nung Christmas break na, I called them and hindi pa rin makapag-resume because of same old reasons. Kesyo inaayos pa daw, kesyo genyan daw. Paulit-ulit. Tawag ako ng tawag at laging ganoon ang sinasabi. Lumipas ang Christmas break, hindi kami nakapag-resume. Sabi ko sa kanila gusto matapos ang swimming lesson bago ang 3rd week of January kasi our boracay trip was last January 24 lang. Tumawag ako ng tumawag sa kanila pero ganun pa din. So nag-boracay kami pero di na kami tumuloy sa Ariel's point dahil hindi kami ganun ka confident sa aming swimming. So sabi ko sa kanila, hopefully sana this summer mag-resume na.

1st week of March, tumawag ako to tell them na mag-reresume kami sa summer at ayusin na nila ang sched. Bago ang holy week, tumawag ako, sabi ni Ms. Vanessa, inaayos na daw nila ang schedule at magkakaroon daw kami ng kasabay. Baka daw mag-resume ng April 1. April 1, tumawag ako sabi ni Ms. Vanessal, tumawag ako kinabukasan (April 2). Pagkatawag ko kinabukasan, etong bagong ingliserang employee nila ang sumagot. Her name is Maricel. I forgot the last name. Sabi sa 'kin, within the week daw ay bibigyan nila kami ng definite date to resume. Nag-agree ako, sabi ko sa kanya, I'll refund my money at ibawas na lang nila yung 3 sessins na nagamit namin pag hindi kami nabigyan ng definite date. Saturday na ngayon, tumawag ako at yung Emerlyn yung nakasagot, at sabi naman sa 'kin ngayon ay wala pa daw signature yung papers. Tawag daw ako sa Wednesday.

Grabe, nakakasawa na..Sabi ko sa kanya i-rerefund ko na yung binayad namin, sabi ba naman tumawag daw ako sa Monday. I-re-relay pa daw nya sa boss nya at wala daw kasi doon ang boss nya. Sabi ko naman sa kanya, "Baka pati yang refund eh, maurong ng maurong? Puro kayo next week, next genyan." Grabe hi-blood na ko. Naaasar na ko sa kanila. If ever hindi ko ma-refund yung pera ko, hindi ko alam, baka ipa-blog ko sila sa sikat na blogger kung pwede yun or ako mismo ang mag-blog. Bahala na si God sa kanila. Kasawa..

Pasensya na mga sis sa mahabang post. I just think na kailangan nyong malaman ito. Ngayon naghahanap ako ng bagong coach. Gusto ko sana yung coach na papayag na bayaran namin sya every session. Nakakadala lang or kung may coach kayong kakilala na mapagkakatiwalaan talaga. Sobrang nakakadala eh.

[pinkk]

Update: Coach Rowena, aka Weng resumes coaching afternoon sessions only at Rizal stadium.
Both female coach are good (I happen to like am sessions kaya ako napunta kay Coach Flor)
Swimming lessons are still open with Coach Flor, Weng, and male coach Rolly. Flexible time kasi ang offer nila (pwede sa am or pm time till rizal closed by 5pm) All Mondays, Rizal pool is closed for all lessons and trainning. Nakakatuwa kasi maraming young, teen and adult beginners napa float nila.
Plus the fact that they offer 1-1 instructions.

[Aubn]

@swim_fatale, saw your pm. thanks thanks

[swim_fatale]

Sis pinkk, paki PM naman sakin numbers ng mga coaches na ito in case gusto ko ng one-on-one sessions. Medyo madami kasi kami sa SwimPlus, gusto ko sana yung tutok. Thanks! How much nga pala fee?

[Purple_Power]

abbykulet Sorry to hear your sentiments about that swimming lesson buti na lang kahit mura hindi muna ako nag attempt na mag enroll sa ganyan or else I would feel the same thing. If I were you search ka na ng department kung saan pwede ireklamo yang swimming lesson na hindi naging unli swimming for 1 month. Kamuntikan na akong mag avail nyan pero for some reason hindi ko na tinuloy. Iba pa rin talaga kapag Bert Lozada kahit mahal at least may matutunan ka na at natapos na session mo.

Regarding naman sa Ariel's point diba diving yun? Kasi yun ang nakita ko sa images nila eh! Okay ka ba for diving? Kasi in my case ha? marunong na ako ng mga swimming routines and stroke pero hindi meaning nun is malakas na ang loob ko for diving kasi that is different na. Ang advise ko kasi sana is mag swimming lesson ka muna to learn different strokes then after that saka ka magdiving lesson sa Rizal Stadium kasi meron talaga sila nun.

[abbykulet]

^Yes, diving sya. And okay naman ako sa diving. At adventurous talaga ako. Gusto ko talaga i-try ang Ariel's point. Yun lang, hindi ako confident sa swimming ko. Eh malalim syempre yung dagat. Dapat talaga magaling na magaling ka lumangoy. Kasi yung mga napanood kong tumalon, wala sila suot na life vest. Kaya talagang eager ako matuto talaga at maayos yung mga strokes ko para confident at marelax ako sa dagat.

Update about Syvilletech, I already sent an email about Refund request sa kanila as per Ms. Vanessa. Para ma-process na daw ng accounting. Pero wala pang assurance yon. Nagkaproblema pa ako sa receipt kasi nawala namin. Di namin makita. Binanggit ko naman yun kay Ms. Vanessa and sabi nya state ko na lang daw sa email kung kailan kami nagbayad. Buti na lang at documented ang swimming lessons namin. May mga videos kami. So dun ko na-trace kung kailan kami nagbayad. I hope na mai-refund namin dahil sayang pa rin ang binayad namin. And I hope that we get a fair amount.

[Purple_Power]

^Thanks for the info. Hindi ako mag eenroll dyan kung ganyan kahit gaano pang kamura. Gusto ko mag enroll sa swimming ulit para ma enhance naman saka yung gusto ko competitive type. Budget talaga problema ko. Bf ko gusto ko pag aralin ng swimming kasi hindi marunong lalo na sa lutang hirap siya.
