Donya – Regional Manager

Hi, it’s Donya. I’m based in Manchester and happily initiated my swimming career journey since 2019.

I am open to structure lessons around your needs which is based on your goals and targets so you could always feel free to open up whether you have got water phobia or require some sort of swim techniques correction therefore, we start from where you feel comfortable.

It’s wonderful to hear when clients can overcome their fears after years of being away , to create delightful memories whilst they’re on holiday with their besties and some manage to go further than their expectations besides having fun. This makes me love my job more and more every day.

We can fullfil your ambition together. Let’s do this.

Learning to swim with Donna has been a great experience. She is so positive and encouraging and made me feel calm and relaxed and excited to be in the water. Her techniques and teaching method has really helped my water confidence and actually learnt to swim which is amazing.

Donya has been amazing in my lessons. She’s been patient, explained everything, and helped me to feel at ease with learning this new skill. I still have a few lessons left and I can’t wait to resume them with her!

Donya is brilliant! My son progressed more in the first 2 lessons with Donya than he did in a whole year of group classes elsewhere. She is an encouraging, kind and fun teacher, but also keeps him focused on lessons and progressing with his swimming. I highly recommend Donya.

My daughter has speech delay problem so she struggles in following instructions. But she gets along with Donya and Donya is so patient with her. Her swimming skills have improved a milestone since she has been with Donya.

With a person who has physical disability. It is never easy for them to learn a new skill. But with Donya anything can possible. Great tips and advice on how to overcome an issue, cool minded and never rush things. Lastly great laugh during the session.
Each lesson she will teach you something valuable and useful tip for you to become confident in water

Donya is doing a brilliant job with my 7 year old son. He had been going to lessons for years and wasn’t enjoying it or improving. He has had 4 lessons with Donya and we can see so much progress already. He is so excited to go and is engaged throughout as Donya makes the lessons really fun. I would highly recommend.

Donya is doing a Great Job with my Aiden . Teaching new skills to Special Needs kids is challenging and difficult but with Donya , everything sounds easy and achievable! She has great attitude and she is always full of ideas for pushing Aiden one step forward to try new things on each session and in the same time make swimming lessons fun for Aiden.

I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of Donya! She is such an attentive coach who quickly picks up on your needs and tailors the lessons accordingly. She is an incredibly patient and motivational coach; I wish I found her a lot earlier! So excited to go on holiday and have fun in the water rather than watching from the sidelines. I can’t wait to come back and carry on learning and developing everything I’ve learnt in the last 6 weeks. Thank you Donya

My 6-year old has always hated swimming lessons and made minimal progress. Until he met Donya! She is calm, friendly, experienced and he instantly felt at ease with her. Now he’s trying his best and more importantly- smiling in the pool!

When we started lessons with Donya, my little boy had a fear of getting into a pool and swimming but by the 2nd lesson he couldn’t wait to get back in! Donya has been a great instructor and very patient with both my kids. We could see massive progression weekly and they both absolutely love her!
