"I highly recommend Nina who helped tick one of my bucket list aspirations. I love her breadth of sea knowledge, swim experience and truly uplifting enthusiasm as well as a uniquely calm, encouraging manner."
Kerry T
"I cannot recommend Nina to you highly enough, whatever your swimming level and goals might be. Nina's patient, fabulous coaching style, instant feedback, and excellent video analysis quickly grew my confidence and built technique. I always look forward to our sessions and trust her completely with my safety."
From first meeting, Nina is professional, encouraging and fun! Having not had swimming lessons for a very long time, she has improved my technique (making it easier to swim). giving me confidence in the water.
