Melanie B
Personal Statement
Hi, I'm Melanie and have I been passionate about swimming since childhood when I was taught this amazing skill by my Dad. Although I first learnt to swim in the '70s, swimming techniques have evolved and both my knowledge and STA qualification from May 2021 is up-to-date and in line with current standards.
My background is in massage therapy and so my naturally relaxed and calm personality transfers to my teaching; calm and kind is the way I like to teach, with an element of fun throughout all stages. As a parent, I have acquired many life skills that I am able to transfer into my lessons. If I can deliver lessons that are safe, fun and progressive then I am a happy teacher.
