It’s drowning prevention week and we’re talking FLOAT TO LIVE 💦

If your child is struggling in the water, would they know what to do?

And if they don't, would you?🤔

Over the past week, water safety has been a key focus with sessions covering drowning prevention, the importance of floating and the water safety code. Here are some of my amazing swimmers showing you how to float.

On average, 400 people drown accidentally each year in the UK. Let's share a message that could save a life:

✅ Head back, ears in the water
✅ Arms and legs out wide
✅ Push your stomach up
✅ Stay calm, relax and breathe normally

Float to live.

As an ex-competitive swimmer with Santa Marina in the early 60s, it just goes to show you never really lose it🤩

📍🔊How to access your swim session.

I know heading somewhere new can sometimes feel a little daunting, so let’s go together to show you exactly how to make your way onto poolside.

Of course, there will be guidance on the day too, but this quick preview should help you feel more relaxed and confident about where you’re going☺️

I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone at the pool this week and welcoming some new faces!🏊🏼‍♂️🏊🏼‍♀️

I am proud to be supporting Age UK’s national campaign to keep more older people in the water.💦

Are you — or someone you know — aged 65+ and enjoy being in the water?

Why not try my Senior Swim class and feel the difference?

Some benefits include-
✔ Improve joint mobility
✔ Reduce risk of falls
✔ Boost wellbeing and confidence
✔ Staying active in a safe, supportive and social environment

📅 When: Tuesday evenings, 16:45
📍 Where: John Whitgift Academy, Grimsby.
💷 Cost: £5 per session.

💙 We’re proud to support Age UK’s Act Now, Age Better campaign.

We’re all living longer and with the right choices we can live better too. While we can’t prevent ageing, we can take actions today that help us feel our best now and protect our long‑term health. 🌟

Regular movement plays a huge role in supporting our wellbeing and swimming is one of the most accessible ways to get started. It keeps your heart healthy ❤️ builds full‑body strength 💪 improves flexibility 🤸‍♂️ and can help reduce your risk of falling as you get older.

It’s never too late to try something new. This summer, Act Now, Age Better: Your Next Move invites people aged fifty to sixty five to give something new a go and find the activity that feels right for them. ✨

Let’s change how we age, together. 🏊‍♀️💪✨

Check out this progress🔥

My client came to me with the goal of refining her technique to build endurance and improve consistency. Over the past few months, she has fully committed to that goal — demonstrating determination, discipline, and a strong willingness to break old habits. Her continuous effort and focus on improvement have led to clear progress in both her performance and overall consistency.
