Hi, I'm Laura and I'm a fully qualified STA Level 2 Open Water Coach with additional Bluetits accreditation and cold water CPD. I'm also an STA level 2 swimming teacher. My goal is to enable swimmers to identify and achieve their goals and to give you the information, support and confidence you need to get what you want out of your swims, from swimming in a lake for the first time, to enjoying the amazing physiological and mental health benefits of swimming outdoors all year round, or guiding you on a night swim or preparing you to compete in events such as the Cotswold Big Swim. I have a person-centred approach, and coach one-to-one and small groups at Lake 86 in the Cotswold Water Park and Bluetits sessions at Lake 32 (both bookable via this app). I am also the cold water coach for Sandford Parks Lido in Cheltenham (sessions bookable via the Sandford Parks Lido website). Coaching across the Lido and the Lakes provides a perfect opportunity for me to support you as you challenge yourself with pool-to-lake swimming, either socially (if you want to dip with the wonderful Bluetits), or more competitively if you are training for events such as triathlons, aquathlons or swim-run.
