Lauren has been swimming for all of her life and this is where her passion for teaching others how to swim has come from. After swimming and competing for Erith & District Swimming Club for 6 years in many galas and competitions such as the Kents, Lauren decided to become a lifeguard which then led to her pursuing her career in swimming teaching. She still swims as a hobby and has always loved being in the water, venturing to different countries during her time off to snorkel and dive with dolphins, whales and many other amazing marine animals! After gaining her swimming instructor qualification, Lauren realised that this is what she has a passion for and found that it was so rewarding seeing non swimmers progress and learn from her as well as inspiring her better swimmers to even go on to try snorkelling or scuba diving! Swimming Nature has given her the opportunity to grow as a swimming teacher and as an individual, as well as providing new, promising methods of how to teach swimming to all ages - which Lauren loves putting into practice!
