Hi everyone! We’re Chantal & Thea-Lily, mother and daughter, we both hold our Level 2 Swimming Teachers and NRASTC Qualifications.

Meet Chantal
Hi, I’m Chantal I’ve been teaching for 30 years. I have worked in a variety of children settings from nursery’s to SEN schools and within the water environment I have watched children from being scared to walk through the door to becoming club swimmers and adults who have ptsd be able to achieve their goals in the water . I am very passionate to ensure all children and adults no matter their ability are made to feel safe and comfortable in the water.
A little about me:
Fun fact – My favourite country is Thailand and my job has enabled me to teach Thai children whilst on holiday.
Favourite stroke – Breaststroke
Favourite food – Indian
Meet Thea-Lily
I’ve been teaching for 7 years. I used to swim for a club when I was younger and therefore this has given me the passion to pass my love of the sport to all. I teach all ages from 10 week old babies to adults i like to ensure all achievements in the water are a huge celebration. I feel swimming is a necessity in everybody’s life and I have extended my teaching into achieving a degree in Primary education to help me to understand all concepts of learning which allows me to adapt to all learning needs and learning styles in my teaching to get the best out of each person that comes into the water.
A little about me:
Fun fact – I have my open water scuba diving certification and achieved this in Thailand ![]()
Favourite stroke – Front Crawl
Favourite food – Sushi or Ice Cream
