Swimming with Linzi is all about having fun in a safe environment whilst gaining water confidence and developing great stroke technique.

Small classes

Classes are fun based and relaxed with only 7 children in each class, only 1 lesson running at a time and the whole pool to ourselves, so we have lots of space. In this environment I find my swimmers really enjoy their lessons and thrive.

At Swimming With Linzi we follow the progressive STA guidelines with Starfish Awards for babies.  Stanley Awards for 2-5 year, Octopus for 5-7 years and Distance Awards for 5m and more!

Get to know Linzi

Hi, thank you for your interest in my small, independent STA swim school.

I live in Sheriff Hutton and I set up my swim school after training and teaching my own children to swim many years ago. I realised then, that the goal to swimming success is fun!

I like to get to know all the children I teach individually, and adapt my teaching to suit every child. This philosophy enables your child to happily progress at their own pace.

I have over 16 years experience of swimming teaching and I am a fully qualified STA Swimming Instructor, STA baby and pre-school teacher. I hold a Level 3 STA Diploma in Aquatic Teaching for Baby and Pre-school, STA lifeguard certificate and have DBS clearance.

Do have a look at my facebook page for more info or get in touch, I’d love to chat to you.

Join my classes and your child can learn to swim, in a no pressure environment and know how to be safe around water…. and have fun too!
