We're still collecting donations

On the 31st January 2021 we'd raised £4,518 with 14 supporters in 62 days. But as every pound matters, we're continuing to collect donations from supporters.

 New stretch target

If I get extra funding I will buy more safety equipment for the open water part of my coaching, as well as some pool equipment and a better underwater camera for videoing my clients. 


As many of you know, I have turned my passion for swimming into helping others now I have achieved my own goals.

Over the past couple of years I have helped many swimmers refine their stroke as well as teaching many adults and children to learn to swim, such an important life skill.

All was going swimmingly and then the pandemic happened. with pool closures I have had to adapt some of my sessions but after lockdown have managed to continue my small business by taking some of the sessions that would have been in the pool into the sea. Unfortunately have not been eligible for any of the governments grants so far, but through this Crowdfunding project I can sell my sessions and courses in advanced and I may be given 50% match funding if I reach my target, which would go a long way to replace all the lost income over this year. My clients will be helping me as well me helping you achieve the most beautiful effortless and efficient swimming stroke, 

I have to have ten individuals book and pay for sessions in advance to get the initial pledge and then reach my target to secure the funding. If you are planning to have sessions with me in 2021, or were thinking about it, this would be wonderful if you could book your sessions in advance.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain landscape for  millions of British small businesses, which is going to make it very challenging for businesses to survive. Together we can help them. 

Crowdfunder are offering up their platform to allow all UK small businesses to pre-sell their meals, events, hotel bookings etc. for cash now on a promise to redeem these at a later date.
