  • For nervous and beginning adults, I understand that the most important factor that will determine whether you succeed or fail with your swimming goals, will be whether or not you feel safe and comfortable with your teacher and in the environment that your learning will take place.

    That is why I am now able to offer a free 30 minute introductory session to nervous and beginning adults—so that we can get to meet in person, at the hotel swimming pool venue itself.

    I will be able to share more about the exciting swimming journey that lies ahead for you, and demonstrate some of the key skills and abilities that you’ll be supported and guided through along the way.

    This will give you the opportunity to decide whether you’d like to embark on this journey together! Please get in touch and mention that you’d like to explore a free half hour introductory session if this is something you’re interested in.

    (Due to the nature of the half hour introductory session, this offer is only available to completely new or nervous swimmers, who have no current swimming ability.)
