Hello, I'm Katie, a dedicated mother of three who has a passion for teaching young children the joys of swimming. With the experience I have gained over the years I have founded KH Swim 'The Mer Academy', a place where little ones can learn valuable water skills while gaining confidence and safety in the water.
I am committed to fostering a nurturing and supportive environment where children can flourish and grow, both in and out of the pool. Join us at KH Swim 'The Mer Academy' and lets make a splash together.
At KH Swim - The Mer Academy, you can trust that your child's aquatic journey is in capable hands. Our founder, Katie, holds a range of esteemed qualifications from the Swimming Teachers' Association (STA), including the prestigious STA Award in Swim Teaching, STA Certificate in Swim Teaching, and STA Baby and Toddler Swim Teaching certification. Additionally, Katie is equipped with the STA Safety Award for Teachers and the National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and Coaches (NRASTC) ensuring a safe and secure environment for all swimmers under her guidance. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise in swim instruction, Katie is dedicated to providing top-tier swim lessons that prioritise safety, skill development, and fun for every participant. Join us at KH Swim - The Mer Academy and let your little one embark on a water adventure with a qualified and caring instructor by their side.
Dive into a world of aquatic wonder with our baby and toddler swim lessons at KH Swim - The Mer Academy! Our classes are designed to be baby-led, allowing your little ones to explore the water at their own pace and comfort level. By nurturing a supportive environment, we aim to build confidence, promote coordination, and enhance balance in our young swimmers. Through gentle exercises and playful activities, our lessons also aid in muscle development, helping your child grow stronger with each stroke and kick. But the magic doesn't stop there! Our swim sessions create a unique bonding experience for babies and their caregivers, fostering a special connection through shared water adventures and joyful moments.
