    A very very good coach!!!!! Very professional and uses words that better help you understand what he wants you to do and best way to achieve it. He is VERY KEEN ON PROPER TECHNIQUE not like other coaches who just want to help fan your ego as long as you can move in water anyhow. Compared to some coaches I have even seen in Lagos, you'll swim on the first day(not the unnecessary flapping and holding the wall endless lessons some give) If you listen to him, and depends on your level of phobia for water as well, you'll be Surprised at what you'll achieve day 1 of class. I achieved the following on day 1 *Floating *Gliding *swimming *Back floating YES!!!!! I did and you can as well. It depends on if you listen to instructions, are willing and your level of aqua-phobia Day 2: I dived ( I have phobia for heights but I still give my best

    Our swimming instructor is really great! From the first day he made us feel so comfortable in the water and that was so important. He works well with all ages and I especially love how he makes us go at our own pace and still make so much progress at the end of every session. I was 4 months pregnant when I started lessons and a bit apprehensive at first but by my 3rd session I was already flapping across the length of the pool with my feet 😁. I definitely recommend Coach George to all and sundry!

    Coach George is such a goal-oriented and patient person. I was able to learn a lot within a short period…especially for someone like me who is aquaphobic. I will recommend @Georges Fitness and Fun Centre any time any day!

    Mr George is honestly an amazing swimming instructor. I contacted him to find out if I could arrange swimming lessons for my 1 year old daughter. He was able to schedule us in for a session that same day. He was extremely patient and took the lesson at my daughters pace. He gave me advice on what to expect from my daughter at this age. As an amazing bonus, he also gave me a lesson. I started off the lesson being too afraid of the deep end. By the end of the hour I could swim on my back, switch from back to front, swim the length of the pool unassisted, and explore the deep end. His lessons, tips, and encouragement can’t even be quantified. Thanks so much Mr George. I really look forward to continuing to learn from you!

    To be more honest, I never believed I could start diving on my first class. Coach George is so good, well experienced and he helped me overcome my fears I highly recommend him 💯

    Coach George is easily the most effective and efficient coach I have had the pleasure of taking sport/fitness lessons from. I am a fitness enthusiast and practice a number of sports, but the ease with which I was able to learn swimming at GFFC is truly amazing. I was able to dive, go from one end of the pool to the other using kicks, and learn the backstroke in just the first session. I would strongly recommend this business to anyone trying to learn how to swim, get over their fear of water, or do some water based physiological therapy.

    As a first timer in the water, I really enjoyed my time there and when I showed my people they said I swam like a pro. He’s really patient and sweet. He’s a good coach

    He’s a professional, knowledgeable and cautious with amazing teaching skills. I learned to dive in the deep end in one day despite the level of fear in me. I strongly recommend coming here for all of your swimming needs.💯

    George is extremely talented at training people to swim. I never thought I could get so good at some swimming techniques in such a short time, but George makes it so easy to get. The pool and environment is also so nice. With George, you're in safe hands and you can be assured of progress even on the first day.

    George is an instructor who loves what he does. He takes his time to take you through everything about swimming. You agree on 2hrs but before you know it, you are using far more and he is not restless or feels used; like I said earlier, he loves water and will make you love it so much and in a very short time. You literally will start swimming like a pro in 4, 5 classes. I recommend!

    Coach George has been amazing with my scholars. He helped them learnt fast and cheered them on each time they wanted to relent. There has been no regret since they started. My scholastic boys showed great skills in a short while. Great job Coach George. 👏

    I never thought I could swim actually but I came today and guess what, I can swim already, thank you very much Coach George, I am super glad and amazed at my progress.

  • 5/5 Faith Oluwanifemi O. 1 year ago on Google
    The fact that he pushed and motivates me to do my best is the most cherished part of my training because I know that with him as an instructor, I can never go wrong.

  • 5/5 Ayomide Y. 8 months ago on Google
    Coach George makes the difficult really simple. I've not met anyone that makes it easy to get better at swimming so fast. You know that no matter how short, after each session with him, you're much better than how you got there.

  • 5/5 Obabowale O. 7 months ago on Google
    I am so impressed with his mode of teaching and skills. I never believed my young sailor could learn fast in a short while. Well done super coach George. Come try out and see for yourself 😁😁😁😁😁. Keep up the good work GFFC.

  • 5/5 Tolulope O. 7 months ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my time at GFFC. Coach George was very good and he made learning easy too. I used to very scared of swimming, but I learned to be comfortable with the water. I also met newbies like me who made it very fun too. Overall, it was a very amazing experience.

  • 5/5 Ufot D. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience with George was amazing. I got to the pool completely clueless and turned out to be a swimmer at the end of my first class. Not a lot of people are gifted with the ability to teach. And trust me, George is one of the best teachers I’m met.

  • 5/5 lade l. 1 year ago on Google
    George is the right person to coach you for swimming.He does it effortlessly,his very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I definitely recommend him for all of your swimming needs. The facility was immaculate and tidy and of course wet! He is a safe swim coach

  • 5/5 Fehintoluwa D. 1 year ago on Google
    George is a great coach. I trust him with all my friends who have no or bad prior experience with swimming. I’ve gone from a beginner swimmer to very confident in the water in a few months

    Very pleasant experience. Coach was patient and takes every lesson step by step. Training was worth every dime I will definitely recommend to others

  • 5/5 Ogochukwu E. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    He is very patient and gives clear instructions. I was able to dive on my first day of training which I thought was not achievable because I almost drowned on my first time ever in a pool. Now I look forward to swimming because he makes it fun.

    Exceptional Swimming Coach! I have had an incredible experience with Coach George! His expertise and dedication has truly transformed my swimming abilities. From the very first lesson, it was evident that he is not just a coach but a mentor who genuinely cares about his students' progress. His coaching sessions are well-structured, challenging, and, most importantly, fun! The coach's attention to detail and personalized feedback have been instrumental in establishing my swimming skills and refining my technique. He creates a supportive and encouraging environment, making every lesson enjoyable. What sets Coach George apart is his ability to motivate, inspire, and drill. He has a unique way of tailoring lessons to individual needs, ensuring that everyone (including kids) feels comfortable and confident in the water. Whether you're a beginner (like I was) or looking to refine your skills, he has the expertise to guide you. I highly recommend Coach George to anyone seeking quality instruction, a positive learning atmosphere, and significant improvements in their swimming abilities. It's five stars all the way!

    Coach George’s techniques of instructing are amazing… After JUST 2 sessions, I could use legs and hands properly. Now after ONLY 5 sessions, I can swim the full length and breath of a 25m x 10.2m pool, even without breathing. Everyone in my group has LEARNED A LOT under coach’s tutelage. I can recommend him again and again and again, countless time for EVERYONE. He is calm and friendly as well. We all love him.

    I’ve had an amazing time learning from the best Coach so far. He is so patient and has helped me learn at my own comfort and a very good pace too. I used to be aquaphobic, but the motivation is just always so massive, all fears have been allayed and now a confident swimmer.

  • 5/5 Anike Oge C. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    He teaches really. Everything was very simplified for understanding, I went from having a massive phobia for water to being able to swim safely in my first session with him. He really knows what he’s up to.
