Hello all,

Unfortunately I won’t be returning to the Orangery Pool in Little Carlton. There are several professional reasons why I have had to make this reason. I hope to find a new location, in the meantime I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

This wonderful woman was so anxious that she had trouble even getting into a pool. Water confidence is a big part of a swim journey. Showing support whilst having a giggle is definitely the way to ease the process.

PS: she now can swim lengths 👏

Today courage shone bright. Sarah did her Buddy Lesson and swam for the first time in a public pool. I can’t take the credit as I am just the person who guides. It’s the actual learner that makes it happen. Thank you Sarah for letting me part of your swim journey. Fabulous.

It’s always a great feeling when I wave someone on their way. Rebecca finished her time with me with a great Buddy Swim yesterday.

What is a Buddy Swim?….

A Buddy Swim is (usually) a swim in a local pool (25m) with a deep end. It’s the last hurdle towards independent swimming. I go through the procedure from the changing room to pool etiquette right through to swimming alongside you and showing how the deep end is not scary and how to enjoy your time in the pool with confidence.

If you can already swim (at 25m) but lack the confidence in a pool, then maybe a Buddy Swim is right for you.

Farewell Rebecca, enjoy your time in the pool.

This is a great example of what happens when we start “tweaking” your stroke once you have learnt it.

……. 10 mins later after guidance, a beautiful front crawl. ✅ SECOND VIDEO IN THE COMMENTS

Ps: 4 weeks ago she couldn’t put her head in water due to fear! 😰

Well done, you should be so proud of yourself 👏
