Experience
I began volunteering on poolside at the age of 14, qualifying as a swimming teacher in 2017. Since then I have worked for a variety of leisure centres and swim schools. During my time as a qualified teacher I have taught all age groups including pre-school and primary school aged children as well as adults and children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND). I also have experience coaching a variety of different age groups. My range of experience and exposure to differing teaching practices is what spurred me to establish my own swim school.
I am the main swimming teacher at Tom's Turtles which means I deliver most of the lessons on a weekly basis. Below you can find out some more information about the other members of staff who support me to deliver my lessons. From time to time there will also be other trusted colleagues who I will bring in to support me deliver my lessons who are not listed below.
