About Me

‘Passionate about all things swimming, teaches in an engaging, fun manner!’

‘Happy, engaging, fresh, exciting. Goes above and beyond what other teachers have done before.’

Swim Works, Leamington Spa

I teach group lessons at Swim Works on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Is your child home-educated? Join my Daytime Swim School.

Bloxham School, Banbury

I am a swim teacher at Bloxham School in Oxfordshire, ensuring primary school children reach their national curriculum targets for swimming and water safety.

Stratford Leisure Centre, Stratford-upon-Avon

I also work as a casual teacher for Everyone Active and offer ad-hoc 121s.

Every individual deserves to learn to swim. SEND-qualified and neurodivergent myself, I am an advocate for true inclusivity. Studies show that children with additional needs are statistically at a higher risk of accidental drowning compared to their peers. I have supported swimmers with ADHD, ASD, PDA, EBSA, SPD, emotional needs, selective mutism, social anxiety, Downs Syndrome, hypermobility, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, hearing loss, speech and language needs and many other conditions and disabilities.

I’m an award-winning writer who creates swim books for kids! Check them out on Amazon.

I have worked as a marketing professional since 2009 and for the last decade have ran my own marketing consultancy, representing a wide range of clients across arts, events and leisure. I am also a published, award-winning writer who has worked in print and digital journalism since 2013. I am available for marketing or editorial projects especially within the aquatics industry.

I live in Stratford-upon-Avon with my husband and young son. If I am not mum-ing or teaching you’ll more than likely find me in the deep end! I love indoor and outdoor swimming, diving, snorkelling, travelling, climbing, running and hiking. I take part in open water events but am not from a competitive swimming background – I believe that everyone can enjoy the benefits of swimming, irregardless of their ability!

I am fully-qualified, fully-insured and a member of both national governing bodies for swimming, the STA (Swimming Teachers’ Association) and The Institute of Swimming / Swim England. I have enhanced DBS checks, am safeguarding trained and first-aid and water safety trained.
