All there is to say about Andy Broido and swimconsultant.com is that it rocks! She has been instrumental in helping Swimming Safari open our brand new indoor facility. With her help we were able to grow to more than 25 staff members and over 1,200 lessons a week in our first summer.
When you join Andy's program you get an expert in all aspects of operating a learn to swim business. Andy's is not the typical consultant that you only hear from once every few months. She is always checking in to see if we have any problems, offering her advise, sending out useful newsletters, and engaging our social media posts. For those unplanned crisis moments, she always makes herself available for a quick phone call or email response, and when it comes to in the water, a weekend of workshops with Andy is the best thing you can do for your instructors.
I really appreciate how she is always looking for ways to tailor her program based on the needs of her clients. I genuinely get the sense that helping Swim Schools exceed their goals is what Andy is passionate about, and it comes through in everything that she does.
Joining Andy and the swimconsulatant.com is one of the best business decisions our swim school has made, and we really couldn't have done it with out her! Thanks, ANDY!
Andy's main objective is to design staff training and teaching systems to support your swim school curriculum.
When both my staff and I were running on empty this summer, Andy jumped right in and helped light a fire under my coaching staff.
Andy's down to earth, direct and effective presentation style was well received by the entire staff. Within 24 hours they had digested many of her creative teaching ideas and systems for class organization and the improvement was fast and furious!
For a relatively minimal investment Andy will come right in and accurately diagnose your swim school staff's weaknesses. She will give you concrete solutions to problems, a pep talk along with a gentle kick in the pants! Before class was over the staff invited her back to watch their progress.

Dear Andy,
Good afternoon, I'd like to thank you for all your attention and concerns for me and our swimming school. As you know, we are constantly looking to improve everything in our line of work, from the quality of our water, to the structure in our systems, that is how we found Frank as you may have guessed.
We were greatly impressed by your curriculum at first, we had heard about your system, and how you managed all the skills. Our expectations were high and you were absolutely outstanding- you left me speechless! Every Friday morning I have training sessions with all of my staff, involving them in all the parts of the process along with watching videos and holding Q&A sessions.
Having you on board will definitely be a great experience, refreshing, interesting, and overall an enlightening endeavour. I will definitely recommend you to anyone that has a swimming school. I wish I had known you before.
Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to seeing you here in our beautiful city.
I can’t thank you enough for spending the time with us over the past couple days. It was invaluable and all the staff are really excited to start implementing things right away. :O) The parents loved watching the transformations as well!!
You are a fabulous coach and awesome to work with. It’s amazing to watch you work your magic on not only the children but the staff and how you “gently” step in and show them without making them feel threatened or insecure. You really do have a way with people, that most people could only wish to possess. :O)
We look forward to the SwimConsultant e-news filled with great information. We benefit from sharing it with all of our staff. We also pull ut a couple of topics from the e-news and dialogue amongst the staff. We incorporate the “Monthly Lesson” in our monthly in-services. We as a team gain a great deal from the information Andy shares. We feel it keeps us on the cutting edge of learning for ourselves, which keeps us fresh in our educationfor our swimmers. Andy’s e-news also reminds us to keep applying tru, tried and steady techniques. It is exciting when a reminder comes from Andy about a certain technique and BAB that’s the one thing I needed for that special student.
The SwimConsultant enews supports me as the Director of Aquatic Education be exceptional and keep my commitment to continuing education for our staff. Andy shares her unlimited “tool in the bag” which helps us all provide quality lessons to each and every student.
One of the best moments for any aquatic educator is when you see your student GET IT!! That’s why I teach.
Go Andy! We are so proud to have you on board with both 3rd Level Consulting and The Swimagine Institute (the brainchild of yourself and the indomitable Sharron Crowley!). Sally, thank you so much for sharing - you are an ace yourself!
Thank you Andy for sharing your wonderful ideas, enthusiastic, and experience with our staff. You were informative, fun, and inspiring. I know our staff enjoyed the time with you and I am pleased with their reactions and focus! You got to them!
Congratulations to Andy Broido of the Swimagine Institute for an extremely successful Teacher Training Workshop. 4 days of immersion into swim school ownership included site visits, lectures, discussions, hands on training, and lots of personal consulting. This learning opportunity could not have been better. Thanks Andy!
