The Water Whisperer

Gail is a fantastic teacher with many years experience. A friendly person, warm character and a wealth of knowledge in her industry.Highly recommended

Gail is absolutely amazing I highly recommend her to teach your little ones to swim. I was searching for the right person to teach my daughter to swim when I came across Gail's page, After reading her success stories and recommendations I needed to talk to her. Even on the phone I could feel Gail's passion for swimming and teaching and knew she was the one. We signed up for a 4 day swim crash course. My little girl was so nervous not confident in the water and wouldn't even put her head under. On day 4 she was super confident swimming on her back with no aids or help breast storke, back stroke and confidently showing me her breathing. She did 35m with no help at all, this is thanks to Gail's teaching skills and the children buzz of her enthusiasm for swimming. Thank you Gail your truly a water Whisperer

My seven year old was very nervous about starting the lessons, however as soon as she went in her confidence Shot up!! And by lesson three, she has already become so confident, her swimming has come on miles now even without her arms bands! She is putting her face in the water without hesitation and loves the lessons! Thank you so much and would highly recommend to anyone looking to start swimming lessons for their child!

Thank you to Gail who has given my daughter confidence in the pool. Florence is just 5 and has been listening and following Gail’s coaching and encouragement to learn to swim.I watched the videos of others learning to swim and their achievements in the pool and decided that I would book some individual lessons for my daughter - this is exactly what she needed. Previously we went to group lessons elsewhere and although they are fun and prob get a few mins per child a lesson - she was not gaining the confidence and attention that you get when being taught on her own - where an hour at a time is purely helping her to swim. Certificates and praise along the way has supported my daughter in giving it her best and actually swimming ! Very to the point and describing what was needed to swim - my daughter loves it and gets to play mid lesson and at the endAfter researching and viewing the videos on YouTube - I knew that this would work for us so messaged Gail and discussed my daughters ability and booked our 5 lessons - can’t recommend highly enough.

Took my 5 year old to Gail recently. She was terrified of water and had had 18months of lessons at another school but still wouldn’t let go of an adult in the water and cried every single week.After 15 minute in lesson one, she was swimming on her own and by the end of lesson 2, she was putting her face in the water and swimming on her back. Amazing work. Thank you Gail.

Gail taught my older three children 10 years ago who all were quickly out of armbands and learnt three strokes quite fast.My youngest who is diagnosed with Autism is now also learning to swim with Gail and we really weren’t sure how she’d take to it given her sensory issues but she’s surprised us all and has learnt really quickly with Gail! She is now out of armbands and swimming 10m breast stroke in only 12 lessons. Would highly recommend Gail!

Gail has been great with my boy. He really struggled in group lessons somewhere else due to auditory processing disorder (struggles to process instructions) and also having been under a physiotherapist since age 3. Gail has adapted teaching to suit him and he loves going every week and is now mastering breaststroke with no floatation aids.

Having recently signed up for a triathlon and not being able to front crawl at all I thought it was probably time to learn. Did 4 lessons with Gail within a week and by the last one I was competent and confident enough to carry on swimming on my own. She was a great teacher, very patient and clear with the instructions without over loading me with information. Would highly recommend if you’re an adult looking to learn or improve your swimming.

Gail is a fantastic swimming teacher. She has made such a massive difference to my children’s confidence. We have spent years attending weekly swimming lessons costing lots of money and time, in another venue, to no avail. My oldest daughter who loves swimming didn’t learn proper techniques or reach her potential and my younger daughter who is nervous made little progress and still had arm bands. Gail changed all this in 5 lessons. In 2.5 hours of swimming lessons both of my daughters had come on leaps and bounds with my eldest daughter learning breaststroke backstoke and front crawl and younger daughter gaining confidence in the water and able to take off the arm bands and do a width of breaststroke. Both of my daughters gradually gaining more confidence is the biggest positive of the lessons. She is very kind and patient but encourages my daughters to really believe in themselves which is inspiring and has really helped them to have confidence in the pool. It is also something they can take into other areas of their lives not just swimming. I am so glad we found Gail and so are my daughters.

My 7 year old daughter has come on so much in these lessons. Not only in learning the techniques but gaining confidence in her ability to swim. Gail is amazing with the children and I’d highly recommend her to family and friends.
