Hello! I'm Vida. I started swimming open water a few years ago, a nervous, weedy adult swimmer. I loved it! Since then, I've progressed to middle distance triathlon and long distance swimming including Big Bala Swim, Jubilee River 10k, and the Thames Half Marathon swim. I swim just because it's there, and just because I can! I completely understand how it is to be new to open water swimming - or just dipping, if you prefer. If you want to out what all the fuss is about, then I'm here to hold your hand (in a manner of speaking) and guide you in. A coaching session or two can really help settle any nerves you might have for your first or upcoming triathlon too. If you're already an open water swimmer, I can help you with front crawl stroke improvement and sighting, and I can help you make the transition from wetsuit to skins - although if you're determined to hold onto your wetsuit, that's ok too! Other Ways I Can Help As a registered Sports Nutritionist, I can help you make sure you're well fuelled for all your endeavours. I am also a fully qualified Feldenkrais, Pilates and Movement specialist, and can put together a movement ptogramme that helps alleviate aches, pains and movement restrictions.
