'Do what you love, love what you do!'

It does make me giggle a bit when I get asked by a student whether or not I can swim. 😁🤔

We spend a lot of the time helping you swim while we feel a bit like astronauts. 🤣 🧑‍🚀 💦

So, then…. I show them... and its 'wow!'. Hahaha... not a pro, but I'll keep it 'professional'. 😉 🏊‍♀️💙

There’s something about the sea…
The way it moves — over and under, soft and strong — a rhythm that speaks to freedom, to calm, to connection. 🌊✨
It reminds me of what’s possible when we learn to trust the water — and ourselves.

I just love this imagery. The flow, the clarity, the quiet power.
And if you’re looking to find that feeling in your own swimming journey — I can help. 💙

ADULTS WHO CAN’T SWIM — YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
And you’re not behind.

One thing I’ve learned after years of teaching swimming is this:
Often, the biggest fear isn’t the water.
It’s the fear of looking silly.
Of showing up last to the party.
Of being vulnerable in front of others.

That fear can stop someone from even booking a lesson.
And for many, it’s not until the first session that they realise — “Oh. I’m not just afraid of water… I’m afraid of failing. Of not knowing. Of being seen in that.”

And I want you to know:
🌊 That’s normal.
🌊 That’s human.
🌊 That’s OK.

What matters is: you don’t have to do this alone.
You don’t need to be “ready” or “brave” to start.
You just need to show up. I’ll guide the rest — step by step.

Swimming is more than a skill — it’s safety, confidence, and joy. Everyone deserves that.

And if you’re not ready to dive in just yet, that’s OK too.
Let’s talk. I’ll help you prepare for what to expect — no pressure, no judgment.

You are not too old. You are not the only one.
And you are more than capable.

I’ve been teaching swimming for many years now – from toddlers to seniors, ages 2 to 72 – and the magic never gets old.

There are the “ah-ha!” moments, the quiet ponderings, and the breakthroughs when something just clicks in a completely new way.

One of the biggest themes in all of this? Breathing. 😮‍💨🫁🤍

Breathing – the thing we do all day, every day, without thinking. It keeps us alive. I like it when my clients breathe 😄 – and so do their bodies!💪

But bring this fundamental life skill into the water, and everything shifts. Suddenly you’re asking:
“Do I breathe in through my mouth? Out through my nose? Gentle exhale? Deep inhale? While moving my arms, kicking my legs, not sinking, and hopefully looking graceful too?!”

Yup. It’s a lot.
And that’s why I love what I do. 💫

We don’t just train our bodies in the water – we train our minds and we train our breath.💦

When I ask someone to take a quick deep inhale, I want that action to feel safe, not like a trigger for panic. We work on calm, steady exhales… teaching our nervous systems that we’re OK. Oxygen is available. Rhythm is possible. If we miss a breath, the next one is right there.

Step by step, we build awareness, skill, and confidence.
Even elite swimmers return to the fundamentals of breathwork.

So if you’re learning to swim, rebuilding your relationship with the water, or chasing a personal goal – be kind to yourself. It’s little steps that lead to big gains. 🌊

You’ve got this.
And if I can support you – just drop me a message. I’m here for you.

Enjoy a spot of poetry? A wonder of how we can flow with life and sparkle at every turn.

You are so capable, so courageous, so wonderful. And more than going with the flow, you can make decisions and add elements of wonder to your life on every turn.

Make a decision today, that will bring you Waves of wonder! 🌀💙💦

I want to age like sea glass.
Smoothed by tides, not broken.
I want the currents of life to toss me around, shake me up and leave me feeling washed clean.
I want my hard edges to soften as the years pass , made not weak but supple.
I want to ride the waves, go with the flow, feel the impact of the surging tides rolling in and out.
When I am thrown against the shore and caught between the rocks and a hard place, I want to rest there until I can find the strength to do what is next. Not stuck . just waiting, pondering, feeling what it feels like to pause.
And when I am ready, I will catch a wave and let it carry me along to the next place that I am supposed to be.
I want to be picked up on occasion by an unsuspected soul and carried along , just for the connection, just for the sake of appreciation and wonder.
And with each encounter, new possibilities of collaboration are presented, and new ideas are born.
I want to age like sea glass so that when people see the old woman I’ll become, they’ll embrace all that I am. They’ll marvel at my exquisite nature, hold me gently in their hands and be awed by my well-earned patina.
Neither flashy nor dull, just a perfect lustre.
And they’ll wonder, if just for a second, what it is exactly I am made of and how I got to this very here and now.
And we’ll both feel lucky to be in that perfectly right place at that profoundly right time.
I want to age like sea glass. I want to enjoy the journey and let my preciousness be, not in spite of the impacts of life, but because of them ..
