ππ ERMβ¦ WE FORGOT OUR OWN BIRTHDAY! π π
Apparently, when you're busy teaching hundreds of swimmers, answering approximately 7 million messages π€£, training teachers, moving classes around, finding lost goggles and generally causing chaos around a swimming pool...
You forget you've been open for a WHOLE YEAR!π€¦ββοΈπ
So...
π HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY TO US! π
Just over a year ago, Cleethorpes Swim Academy was basically...
π‘ An idea
π A very long to-do list
β° Six weeks to make it happen
β Probably far too much caffeine..and a slightly questionable amount of confidence that we'd somehow pull it off. π
But we did.
And somehow, that little idea has turned into one BIG aquatic family. π
In just one year we've...
π Helped swimmers become stronger
π Watched confidence absolutely SOAR
π Talked (a lot! π) about water safety
π‘ Explained the *why* behind what we teach
π Celebrated hundreds of little wins
π And made a LOT of waves along the way!
We've had swimmers who wouldn't put their face in the water...
..who now jump in without a second thought.
And we've probably shouted...
βHEAD DOWN!β
βLONG LEGS!β
and
βONE MORE TIME!β
more times than we'd care to count. π€£
Are we everyone's cup of tea?
Probably not. β
And we're actually okay with that.
Because we're proud to care about the little things.
We're proud of our standards.
We're proud to be honest about progression.
We're proud to teach quality, not just distance.
And we're proud that our swimmers don't simply learn what to do - we want them and their families to understand why they're doing it too.
And Year Two?
Ohhhh... we've got plans. π
So to every single swimmer who has jumped, splashed, kicked, floated, laughed, occasionally cried π and achieved with us...
And every parent who has trusted us, supported us and become part of our slightly crazy aquatic family...
THANK YOU. π
CSA wouldn't be CSA without you.
Now someone please remind us when our 2nd birthday is... π€¦ββοΈππ
HAPPY ONE YEAR, CLEETHORPES SWIM ACADEMY! ππ
