I love swimming, and I’m passionate about helping adults discover just how enjoyable and effortless it can be with the right teaching.
I rediscovered swimming in my 40s, when I set myself a rather ambitious goal – to swim all 10.5 miles of Lake Windermere.
But I was struggling to find lessons that actually helped me improve. I wanted to swim comfortably and efficiently, without getting exhausted, and nothing I’d tried seemed to work.
Then I discovered Total Immersion, a completely different approach to swimming that transformed the way I swam.
Suddenly, swimming felt easier. I wasn’t fighting the water or struggling for breath. I was enjoying every stroke – and I went on to achieve my Windermere goal!
I was so inspired by what I’d learned that I changed career to become a swimming coach.
I trained as a swimming teacher, Total Immersion coach and open water coach, and for more than 10 years I’ve helped hundreds of adults achieve things they never thought possible in the water.
Whether that’s learning to swim for the first time, overcoming panic, swimming without exhaustion or improving their technique for their next triathlon, I love showing people that swimming doesn’t have to be the struggle they think it does.
And there’s nothing I enjoy more than seeing someone do something in the water they genuinely didn’t believe they could do.
