I started swimming competitively at the age of 9 and qualified for the ASA midlands championships every year from the age of 11. I swam for Chesterfield Swimming Club, where I did 9 sessions a week, 5 of them at 5am! At the age of 12 I was selected to join Derventio Excel, The Derbyshire Elite Swim Squad. Swimming is my passion and I have always wanted to teach and love to see how the children progress as I did.

When I’m not working on reception, you’ll see me covering lessons. I have over 10 years of experience teaching people of all ages and abilities. I love figuring out the best way to help someone and breaking things down in a way that each individual can understand. Helping people to feel safe in the water and watching them develop a love for swimming makes teaching such a rewarding job.
