Natalie is such a passionate teacher, her enthusiasm and love of swimming shine out of her and this has a huge, positive effect on the children. My children adore her!

Natalie’s communication and overall teaching skills are fantastic. She has really nailed how to pitch a lesson to someone’s level, whether it was for my son who was new to swimming or myself for Triathlon training. My son is now confident in the water and made huge progress in a few months

After months of watching my children being taught by Natalie, wishing I could get in and learn too, I finally found the courage to ask. I started 1:1 lessons in Jan 2022 and I felt so comfortable with Natalie. Knowing that she had also learnt to swim as an adult, I knew there was absolutely no judgement! We started with breaststroke and progressed to front crawl. I felt very panicked to start off with but with Natalie's support and persistence I got it! Learning to swim with Natalie has changed my life. I now swim most days and it has become a huge part of my life. Thankyou Natalie!

All 3 of my children have had swimming lessons with Natalie. She has been excellent with my youngest son who needed to learn to swim after having to stop lessons due to Covid. He says ‘she is kind and funny and she lets you jump in at the end!’ He can now confidently swim and is safe in the deep end of a pool. He loves swimming at the weekends and telling Natalie how many lengths he can do. My older two children needed to learn skills to improve their swim technique for future triathlons and Natalie has been able to help them with this as well as improving their confidence overall. She is by the far the best swim teacher we have ever had for our children.

Before I started my swimming lessons with Natalie, I couldn’t put my face in water let alone swim 50 meters. Now I’m able to swim 1.4km as though I’ve been swimming my whole life. My confidence has increased so much, I actually enjoy taking my kids swimming because I feel safe to do so now. And even better than that I have my own hobby and interest which has boosted my self esteem and mental health. Natalie is amazing and I wouldn’t be smashing barriers without her encouragement and support over the last nine months.

My kids love their lessons with Natalie and Harriet. My son had a fear of deep water but now jumps in and participates in all areas of the lessons. My daughter loves learning the different strokes especially dolphin kick! These lessons are life savers as the kids learn about water safety which you don’t get with other instructors.
