What do some of Lucy’s swimmers say about her?

🏊🏻‍♀️ Lucy is a great motivator with an infectious enthusiasm for swimming. No challenge seems too big or too small for her – Dawn

🏊🏼‍♂️ Lucy is really supportive and adapts the sessions as needed to help me achieve my goals while working around my injuries. I didn’t think I’d be able to swim after a serious injury, but Lucy has helped me fine tune my stroke so I can swim well again.

🏊🏽‍♀️  I would highly recommend Lucy, she is patient, supportive and knowledgeable. Her lessons suit any level of swimmer. Every time I see a big expanse of water now I want to jump in it and go for a swim  – Sam

🏊🏿‍♂️ I always look forward to my lessons every week. I am amazed how quickly I have learnt to swim and Lucy has changed the process from something which would have normally been quite daunting into something enjoyable and easy – Hannah
