Swimming & Water Exercise Specialist

Enhance your water wellbeing.

Helping you enhance your wellbeing through learning, challenging, and relaxing in the water.

Meet Louise...

Growing up in Dorset meant that I was always in and around the sea – water is my happy place! I have been a fully qualified swimming teacher for over 15 years and I have enjoyed a brilliant variety of water experience.

Throughout the years being on the poolside teaching swimming has been my constant. I now pour my passion and experience into my role as swimming teacher at a local school and my private 1-1 swimming lessons in Ramsbottom for children.

But my world is not just about swimming…I have transferred my love of yoga into the water and deliver water yoga sessions to adults. This fluid, calm, meditative water exercise very much reflects my swimming teaching style and approach, a holistic approach for your mind, body and soul.

Swim England & Manchester Aquatics Centre

Working with Swim England gave me the opportunity to help more people enjoy swimming and work with Olympic swimmers at London 2012. Managing Manchester Aquatics Centre was fantastic, including its swim schools. I have also challenged my own water skills in triathlons, charity swims and more recently I have entered the world of outdoor swimming.

If you would like your child to learn or improve their swimming, or if you would like to relax and enjoy water yoga, or if you are a fellow swimming teacher who would like some fresh ideas for your own lessons then I’m here to help.

What my clients say...

The best money we have spent on Gracie! My seven year old daughter loved every second of her lessons with Louise. She went from being nervous around water to being called our little mermaid within months. The lessons have not only given her the skills she needs but also the confidence and love of swimming. I would not hesitate in recommending Louise for swimming. Amazing with children, making learning fun and putting me and her dad at ease

Zach came to Louise with very little confidence in the water, and with just four half hour sessions he went from being a non-swimmer to swimming ten metres with his face in the water using beautiful, smooth, calm front crawl arms. This was the start of Zach enjoying his swimming journey after a very rocky start. This is something I will always be grateful for. I can’t recommend Louise enough!

William has had lessons over a number of years and didn't move past swimming along with a noodle or holding the instructors' thumbs. Louise got him to swim alone in his first lesson, I was amazed. Louise has a great sense of humour and has reassured him that he is perfectly safe in the water. William has improved every week since - he loves his lessons!

Ellis has been swimming with Louise for three years now and it has been wonderful to see him develop into a strong, confident swimming with beautiful technique. They have a great relationship with plenty of humour during every session! Louise varies Ellis’ sessions so that not only is he continuing to improve his technique, but his fitness is also benefiting, which is especially important now that he’s a teenager!
