About Me

I was honoured to be nominated for the England Swimming Teacher of the Year Award 2019 – a recognition of my dedication and passion for teaching swimming.

Sport has always been a major part of my life, with over 20 years’ experience in the leisure and fitness industry. As a highly qualified and experienced swimming teacher, I have been teaching for more than 10 years, helping swimmers of all ages and abilities gain confidence in the water.

Water is truly my element! I have worked as a lifeguard in South Africa, the USA, Ireland, and the UK, and I am also an advanced SCUBA diver, an Open Water swimmer, and even an Ironman!

I teach everyone – from babies as young as one year old to grandparents – because I firmly believe that it’s never too early or too late to learn to swim. My teaching style focuses on making lessons fun, engaging, and confidence-boosting, while continuously improving swimming technique.
