Open Aqua Outdoor Swim Coaching

About us:
Ruth
I’ve been open water swimming since 2014 and enjoy a mix of swimming and swimbling, as the mood takes me.

The sea is my happy place – it helps me reset my dials, find balance and a slice of me time in our busy lives.

I’ve entered a wide number of events over the years - as personal challenges to aim and train for. These include Castle 2 Castle, Scilly Swim Challenge, Coniston End to End, Wild Wye 10k, Round the Mount, numerous 5k and a couple of 10k personal swims.
I am a STA Open Water Coach and Aquaphobia Coach. I combine my swim coaching with being a qualified land based personal trainer and fitness instructor.

I'm a lifelong lover of all things swimming. I used to club swim at an early age and it gave me the swimming bug which has never left! I have run a swim school for the last 10 years, where we teach all ages to swim and become confident and competent in the water. I spend all year in the sea – utilising the water for both fitness and mental health and well-being benefits.
I am a Swim England level 2 Swimming Teacher, STA Open Water Coach, STA probationary Tutor and SLSGB Beach lifeguard.
