Chloe has been learning here for about 1.5 years, and Couch Apple , Rose , Dina have been truly wonderful mentors — everything a parent could wish for! We’ve watched Chloe become a confident and happy swimmer, and it’s been amazing to see her progress. We highly recommend this to any parents thinking of starting their kids early. A truly professional and caring swimming Academy!

My son has been attending SIMBR Swimming Academy in Al Nahda 2 for the past three months, and the progress he has made is truly amazing! The academy has a wonderful environment that makes kids feel confident, motivated, and excited to learn. A huge appreciation to Coach Adel, who has been incredibly patient, professional, and encouraging throughout my son's journey. His teaching style is calm yet effective, and he always ensures the kids are learning the right techniques while still having fun. We’re so grateful for his dedication and the trust he builds with the children. I would also like to thank Head Coach for maintaining such high standards of training and discipline, and a special shout-out to Rapunzel from the admin team. She is always welcoming, supportive, and very efficient with communication and scheduling. Her friendly approach truly adds to the positive experience at SIMBR. Overall, SIMBR Swimming Academy is an excellent place for kids to learn swimming with confidence. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for quality coaching and a caring environment!

I joined a swimming class with SIMBR under Coach Ms. Apple. She is friendly and experienced, and she made me feel comfortable and confident to swim at my own pace. She corrects me in a kind and encouraging way. Her swimming skills are amazing and truly inspire me to learn more. Before joining, I didn’t realize that swimming has so many different styles and techniques. I also met Ms. Rose, another experienced coach at SIMBR. Both Ms. Apple and Ms. Rose are brilliant, encouraging, approachable, and friendly coaches. Ms. Rapunzel, the admin, coordinates the training very smoothly. I am very happy and satisfied with my swimming classes at SIMBR.

Coach Nandu is really good. Taught my kid from absolute basics to the point where he came 1st in the recent swim competition held. Good facility to learn and patient trainers. Will definitely send my next kid here too. Highly recommend.

This is an average swimming academy. Both of my children attended this academy for some time. The journey started well for my elder child; however, over time the focus seemed to shift from training the kids to controlling them. Coach Nandu initially did a decent job, but he lacks basic listening skills and does not interact properly with children. My son had to ask him questions multiple times without receiving any response. There was also no proper individual feedback provided. Coach Ala, the Head Coach, oversees the children during training. Unfortunately, he has a very loud voice and a noticeable ego. On one occasion, I politely requested him to remove my child’s birthdate from the WhatsApp group and instead mention only the age. He became offended by this request. Even schools are strictly monitored by KHDA regarding disclosure of children’s personal information, so my concern was reasonable. After this incident, his behavior towards us noticeably changed. On another occasion, I requested him not to shout at the kids, as they are very sensitive. While it’s understandable that instructions may need to be repeated in a pool environment, the way he shouts is extremely harsh and irritating for both children and parents. Despite these issues, we continued sending our children mainly for physical exercise. However, a serious incident occurred during competition training. My son was briefly playing in the water when Coach Ala came down, physically pushed him to the edge of the pool, and shouted at him. He then embarrassed my son in front of the other children.
