ASA (Swim England) qualified swimming teacher 

​

I have over 16 years’ experience of success in teaching toddlers, school age children and adults to swim.  Using  effective techniques for teaching both beginners and advanced swimmers, I have excellent knowledge of and experience in teaching the National Plan for Teaching Swimming stages (NPTS) from Beginner through to Honours certificates. ​ I have also taught schools swimming for over a decade.

I can get non-swimmers swimming relatively quickly, and have  the ability and experience to put them at ease, and increase their confidence of simply being in the water.  I am accomplished at stroke analysis and have a sound understanding of how to improve stroke technique especially for those students who may be stuck at a particular NPTS stage, and can break down complex technique instructions in a way that students can easily understand and implement. My previous main employment was with GLL when they still ran the ASA/Swim England programme. I still do a few hours a week for them but my main work is now with  https://nextlevelswimming.co.uk

I can also offer 1 to 1 teaching  for those who are not comfortable returning to a group swimming lesson environment after the Covid pandemic if you are lucky enough to either own or have access to a private pool.

Gym Instructor 

​

I am a WABBA qualified gym instructor with personal training experience, and can offer carefully designed training programmes, tailored to the specific needs of the individual, incorporating fitness, increased strength and basic bodybuilding.  I have expert understanding of the relationship between  our anatomy and exercise and I can advise both men and women on the correct use of gym equipment, explain which exercises are most beneficial, which are pointless, and importantly, which can be  harmful.
