Javier
Hello! I'm Javi, originally from the beautiful coasts of Spain. My love for water began early -I've been swimming since I was just 3 years old. This lifelong passion for swimming has shaped who I am, and I'm dedicated to sharing it with others. Since 2020, I've been delivering swimming lessons, helping people of all ages and skill levels gain confidence in the water. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced swimmer aiming to refine your technique, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Teaching children how to swim has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. I love seeing their progress, the smiles on their faces when they achieve something new and knowing that I'm helping them develop a lifelong skill. My qualifications are always up-to-date, ensuring that you receive the highest quality instruction. I truly love what I do and am committed to making your swimming journey enjoyable and successful. Let’s dive in together!
Thomas
I have been swimming for most of my life! I found my love for swimming in my early teens where I discovered my passion for the water, particularly butterfly stroke. I was the fastest 50-metre butterfly swimmer in the UK at the age of 16. I am friendly, patient and enthusiastic about facilitating people of all ages to gain swimming skills, however, I feel strongly about enabling younger swimmers with disabilities to become confident in the water and find their own love for swimming. I am passionate about fitness, reflective in my education pathway in sports science. I am excited to be working with Swimming Nature as their approach to teaching swimming is unique, encouraging a happy lifelong relationship with water.
