This summer we found Tim and everything changed. He is incredible. Sofia arrived to class f...

Although I could swim on a very basic level, my nervousness and lack of confidence around water had got to the point where I wouldn’t step out of my depth in a swimming pool. I realised I needed to change this as I didn’t want to pass this fear of water on to my son, so I did some research and came across Tim at Confident Swimmers.
