Safety first - always! It’s the Drowning Prevention Week and I’ve been busy teaching my adult clients (as well as these younger folk for ) all about water safety - and how to float.

Learning to float is an important life safety skill - and the foundation of your swimming technique and it’s why I teach with a Float First approach.

So, sharing this essential ‘Float To Live’ safety tip that could help save a life one day...

💙Tilt your head back
💙Stay calm - try to control your breathing
💙Relax and move your hands and legs slowly to try and help you float. Don’t worry if your legs sink, we all float differently.
💙Focus on laying not standing in the water and tilt your chin up.
💙Breathe and call for help.

Remember it. Share it.
Make sure your loved ones know what do if they get into difficulty too. It’s never too late to start learning how to float.

I’m now taking booking for Sept term and will be holding some Learn To Float 1 x hour Workshops so pop me a message here if you’d like to sign up!

Happy floating (because it’s also THE best feeling in the world)

How is it February 5th already?! Time flies when you’re having fins-fun! 🤣 It’s been a busy January, with lots of new clients off to a flying start!

We’re swimming with fins and being playful in the pool this week, as we practice putting together all we’ve worked on over the last few weeks - & have some fun to help let go!

After all, the more relaxed you are, the more effortless swimming begins to be! And using fins allows us to focus on body position, breathing & timing - all with a bit of extra buoyancy & speed!

Now taking bookings for Feb-March term! Please send a DM on here on email: [email protected]

Gold medal motivation!

My client T has accomplished and achieved so much since starting lessons as an absolute beginner back in March.

He’s preparing for his next swim adventure and as a little incentive, I got him a gold medal for all his amazing efforts, incredible commitment and attitude and to empower him on the next stage of his swimming journey.

This has been a running joke all the way through our 3 terms of beginner sessions together. And after his swimming again yesterday, decided it was time to celebrate with it!

Learning to swim at any age is a great life and safety skill and is no mean feat especially in older years.

No matter where you are on your swimming journey, we’ll celebrate those big and small swim wins in the best way that suits you!

For T it’s been with lots of laughs and some gold medal magic! 🧡

Congratulations T! SWIM WINS this week! ✨

T is my amazing client who joined back in March as a complete beginner. T is an absolute legend! In his 70s, having never learnt to swim, he set out to learn how to complete 200m as part of mini triathlon event.

We’ve worked together over the last few terms, breaking down all the intricate steps and creating a lesson plan that best suits him.

And yesterday - HE DID IT! 10 lengths of the pool, no assistance. And he loved every minute of it! Buzzing! 💙

It might not be the stroke he thought he’d be swimming. It might not be the fastest competitor time. And none of that really matters!

He’s absolutely chuffed to now be swimming safely, in a healthy, relaxing way that best suits his body. And loving every minute of it! ✨

As part of the lessons, he’s mastered so many amazing achievements including floating by himself, putting his face in the water, finding his balance and his breathing rhythm. Every core milestone like these matter in swimming. Not always easy, they take practice, perseverance and positivity. And when you put them altogether - that’s when the swimming magic starts to happen!

Besides T’s incredible determination and attitude to learning to swim, this commitment to himself and the process has been next level too!

Congratulations T! Looking forward to helping you on the next part of your next swimming journey!
