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.

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.
