Ella
was raised a competitive club swimmer where I gained extensive training in all four strokes, regularly qualifying for and competing in county championships as a teenager. I returned to swimming to teach in 2020, working with all ages from babies and toddlers to adults. In teaching, I apply all the skills I’ve gained from years competing, tailoring lessons to each swimmers ability level, and maintaining a fun environment with swimming games I’ve acquired over the years.
