Hello, my name is Jas. I am from the Rhondda Valleys, South Wales and I teach at The Hilton Hotel, Cardiff.
Swimming has always been a massive passion of mine ever since my first time in a swimming pool, I instantly fell in love with the freedom of the water. I taught myself how to swim around 6/7 years of age by watching other swimmers in the pool and then had a swim coach at the age of 9 to perfect my strokes and very quickly went into long distance swimming up to 2/3 miles each session. My swim coach was absolutely amazing and I will always look back and remember how fun and engaging her lessons plans were. Concentration was something I struggled with massively as a child due to having ADHD, and my coach always found a way keep me focused by implementing fun challenges into my lessons. She was my inspiration as a child and that’s my aim with my own clients. She has taught me what a great swim teacher/coach should really look like.
I have been a lifeguard for 5 years for competition pools, leisure pools and even open water at the AquaPark in Cardiff Bay. I take great pride in knowing the safety of others are in my hands but teaching is where I truly belong. I find it extremely rewarding seeing clients progress each week and have fun whilst doing so.
My style of teaching for little beginners is learning through play and lots of water confident games. This way they are learning key skills whilst not even realising! And for adult beginners if you’re not confident in the water, I like to completely start by scratch, gain your confidence in the water first by learning to tread water, float on front and back and also streamlining position. Once you’re more confident we will then start learning a stroke, and for my more advanced swimmers I love analysing strokes and breaking it down separately by using drills specific to the stroke technique. I am very much a perfectionist and I love getting feedback from clients which helps me develop my teaching skills further.
I have recently been spending my free time swimming to raise money for charity’s. My most recent challenge I swam 10 miles for Breast Cancer Now.
Jas was very helpful and provided constructive comments. I would definitely use her again.
Jas was friendly and encouraging throughout my lesson. She was able to help me begin to relax in the water within just one lesson even with my water phobia. I look forward to having more lessons going forward.
Jas is an amazing teacher and and is a very kind and caring person. She’s so very helpful with anything you may need or she will find a way to help. After going through many swimming schools I was so grateful to find a great teacher. Would highly recommend her!!!
Thanks very much to Jasmine.
I couldn’t Swim at all and now I can float front and back and still improving my swimming now!
Jas was really patient with me as a non swimmer and a fear of water. She helped me feel more confident in the water to enable me to do Aqua aerobics, which was my goal.
I have been attending adult swimming lessons for beginners, I was nervous and had fear of water before, but Jas she is a fantastic swimming coach and a good motivator,she helped me to overcome my fear and make me more confidence and comfortable in water .Now I can float in water. I would like to continue the lesson to improve and challenge myself,waiting for more adventures
Jas was very friendly and welcoming. This was very much appreciated as I was extremely anxious being unable to swim at all.
She was very understanding regarding my fears of being in the water.
She encouraged me but did not try to push me too far out of my comfort zone, just enough to help me gain some confidence.
She listened to me and explained everything very well indeed.
She gave me confidence that she was looking after my safety at all times. This was extremely important to me. My lessons continue.
I used to swim front crawl as a kid and wanted to re-learn (30 years later) so I could start using swimming as a way to get fit. I booked a taster session with Jas and in 30 minutes learnt loads. By taking me back to basics, she got me swimming front crawl properly in the 1st session. She was great: friendly, encouraging and clear. So glad I booked a lesson with her. Thank you Jas.
I am a 58 year old man . I seimnfor my exercise and more recently i stepped thjs up as a hobby doing teo hours per day . I went to Jas to learnnhoe to gromt crawl and she is excellent and i intend to use her to perfect several strokes
I am thrilled to share my experience with Jasmine, my son’s swimming instructor. She has been absolutely wonderful! Her patience and kindness have made a world of difference for my son, who tends to chat a lot and can get easily distracted. Jas has a remarkable ability to gently bring him back to focus without making him feel pressured. Her warm approach creates a positive learning environment, and I truly appreciate the way she engages him in the lessons. I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher for my son!
Grazie Jas for all !
My assessment with Jas was so much better than I expected, I was literally terrified and had spent a year plucking up the courage to do this, I just felt safe in the water straightaway and followed Jas great instructions and I floated – never done so before as I always sank, Jas then got me to do a little bit of back stroke, I’m just amazed, this assessment with Jas has just given me so much confidence, I can’t wait to sign up for lessons with Jas as I’m confident that I’ve found someone who can really help me be confident in the water and get me swimming.
