Our great teachers for your swimming journey

Elly
It is my pleasure to give you the practical gift of the ability to swim well and confidently.
I love to swim, for over 20 years my passion has also been my job at PHL and the Ponds, inspiring my open water swimming.
Starting as a lifeguard, I decided to combine with swim teaching in 2008 getting my ASA level 1, furthering my studies completing my ASA level 2 in 2015.
Gaining experience working in swim schools, I soon became an independent instructor.
I would be delighted for you to swim confidently in a variety of waters like I am able to do so.

Åsa
I am passionate about swimming and it is a joy to help others, young and old, to learn skills, gain confidence to be able to experience the pleasure of swimming.
I have been involved in competitive swimming in a club for many years, as a mother of swimmers and as a competition official.
ASA Qualified levels 1 and 2 and NPLQ lifeguard.
Whether it's learning basic skills or improving technique, my expertise will surely make a difference to your swimming journey.

Vincent
I am passionate about helping swimmers of all ages and abilities build confidence and improve their technique.
As an STA Level 2 Swim Teacher, with experience teaching at Better Gym, Kentish Town Sports Centre, ASL and Swim Islington,
I break swimming into simple, easy-to-follow steps, creating steady and lasting progress. Every lesson is tailored to each swimmer's individual needs and goals, making learning enjoyable, supportive and rewarding.

Dorothy
Having enjoyed over a decade as a competitive swimmer, reaching British National level, I turned my attention to sharing my love of the sport with others. I am an ASA Level 1 and 2 qualified teacher with 4 years’ experience. This ranges from coaching competitive squads to teaching first-time swimmers. Whatever your ability, I am dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and productive teaching environment where you can reach your goals, whether this is perfecting your technique or simply learning how to float. I would love to be part of your swimming journey!

Louise
I was once paralysed by an irrational fear of water and didn't learn to swim until I was 11. With encouragement and support,
progressed to competitive swimming, inspiring my passion for the sport.
Becoming a mum motivated me to start teaching, and I now love helping children and adults build confidence and enjoy the water.
As an STA Level 2 Swim Teacher and qualified SEN swimming teacher, I tailor every lesson to each swimmer's individual needs, creating a fun, supportive and encouraging environment.
