As a private swimming teacher, I offer swimming lessons in your own pool, throughout Bromley, Croydon, Sevenoaks and Dulwich.
Whether you want your child or children to learn to swim or even improve your own technique, I can help.
With less distractions, one-to-one private swimming lessons in your own pool means it is possible to progress quicker than having group lessons in a community pool or leisure centre. Other benefits of learning in your own pool ensures your privacy and can be done at your convenience.
I am also available to do private crash courses in the holidays which can be particularly beneficial in giving an extra boost for peace of mind before going away.
Group Adult Classes
Group adult swimming lessons are held at Bickley Park School, Bromley on a Saturday afternoon. Classes for beginners, including those who are nervous, are kept purposely small so that everyone gets some 1-2-1 attention.
Improvers work on technique and swim across the width and have the opportunity to go deeper, whilst the advanced class swim the length of the pool. Advanced swimmers continue to work on their technique and the class is also good for those wanting to take part in triathlons or work on their stamina.
Antonia and Kirsty are both qualified Aquaphobia teachers, which means they are skilled at teaching very nervous non-swimmers.
Classes are as follows:
** 1pm Beginners with Kirsty
** 1pm Improvers (deep water) with Antonia
** 1.45pm Improvers (shallow water) with Antonia
** 1.45pm Advanced (lengths) with Kirsty
Open Water Coaching
I have transferred my swimming teaching skills to the open water. I learnt from the best and completed my Open Water Coaching qualification with Keri-anne Payne (GB Olympic swimmer).
I can often be found swimming at Beckenham Place Park lake where I coach, as I love being surrounded by nature and find the water calming and relaxing.
I like to pass on my enjoyment of the water by helping others to become confident open water swimmers, whilst improving their technique or training for an event.
I offer the following:
- 1:1 or 2:1 coaching
- Improve Your Front Crawl sessions
- Beginners open water coaching sessions (including sighting, drafting, buoy turns etc).
Antenatal Aqua Yoga – Private Sessions
I am a certified Birthlight teacher in Pregnancy Aqua Yoga and Postnatal Yoga.
What better way to enjoy feeling light again, whilst gently exercising and being able to relax too?
Antenatal aqua yoga has many benefits, including:
- Stretching and strengthening the spinal and abdominal muscles
- Gaining control of the pelvic floor so that you can relax them whilst giving birth
- Expanding your breathing capacity ready for labour
- Relaxing and releasing worries and fears prior to birth
- Helping to open the pelvis and hips ready for birth
- And to tune in with your growing baby!
**I can teach this privately in your own pool**
Snorkelling, Mermaiding and Rookie Lifeguard
Being in the water isn’t just about being water confident, having great technique and building stamina, it’s also about having fun!
I am often asked to mix up the sessions at home and do some different lessons in the holidays. I am qualified in Snorkelling, Mermaiding and Rookie Lifeguard and any one of these can add an extra element of fun.
