Natalie – Sales Exec

Hi,  I’m Natalie  – based at Kettering Everlast Fitness and Daventry Court Hotel. Qualified Aquatics Teacher since 2014.

Always loved the water, from my own learn-to-swim journey to snorkelling on holidays.  Lifeguarding in my teens, I used to observe the teachers on poolside and think to myself,  *I could do that!*.  Swimming is not just an important life skill from a safety perspective, but it also offers so many additional health benefits.  Believe me when I say,  it can and will enhance your life  ….in only positive ways!

I enjoy teaching children and adults alike and take a fun based / confidence building approach, respectively. Everyone is unique and comes from different experiences of swimming, if any at all. I will always encourage learning at a pace you feel comfortable with.

 

Prior to Swim Now, (amongst other things!) I was an LSA in a day centre for young people with additional needs. So I feel this has informed my practice to better understand, engage, and support neurodiverse individuals.

I’ve been taking weekly swimming lessons with Natalie since July, and I couldn’t be more pleased with my progress. Natalie’s expertise and teaching style have significantly boosted my confidence in the water, particularly in using my feet effectively.
Natalie’s approach to teaching is exemplary. She is incredibly patient and always takes the time to ensure I understand each technique thoroughly. Her communication skills are top-notch, making complex movements easy to grasp.
Additionally, her keen observations and empathetic nature make her sessions both enjoyable and highly productive.
One of Natalie’s standout qualities is her calm demeanor. She creates a safe and trusting environment, which is crucial for anyone learning to swim.
I always feel at ease during our lessons, knowing that I am in capable hands.
Overall, Natalie is a phenomenal swimming instructor.
Her effective communication, patience, and ability to foster a safe learning environment make her the best choice for anyone looking to improve their swimming skills. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking to gain confidence and proficiency in the water.

Natalie is an amazing instructor. I have pretty much learnt how to swim regardless of me being petrified of water from childhood trauma. I really recommend her to everyone. She is amazing 🙂

Both my boys age 5 & 7 swim with Natalie and they love it. My eldest can now completely swim on his own and the youngest is getting there. They were so much more confident on holiday as well. Natalie has been brilliant and really accommodating, I would highly recommend.

Natalie taught my 2 children aged 4 and 5, their confidence came on leaps and bounds and progressed amazingly with her. She’s a brilliant teacher, very patient and an all round lovely lady. I highly recommend her.
