Testimonials
"I can't thank you enough for your coaching, which culminated in me enjoying a beautiful sea swim while on holiday in the Isle of Mull. Thanks to your coaching on front crawl technique for open water swimming, I was able to enjoy the most amazing, relaxed swim in crystal clear waters - a long-held dream realised after only 6 sessions in the pool with you!"
"Just finished a block of pool-based coaching sessions with Mhorag. I can't quite believe how much I've progressed over the weeks, thanks to Mhorag's gentle and encouraging coaching style. She is a natural teacher and I'm delighted that I can now confidently swim front crawl that I've never managed in my adult life. Next step is to see whether I can translate all of this into open water swimming - can't wait to take the plunge on that session with Mhorag."
"Mhorag is a fabulous teacher who is very knowledgeable and skilled in explaining things clearly. I am fairly new to swimming and Mhorag adapted the classes to suit all abilities. My confidence in swimming really grew and I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions with her and the rest of the group. Thank you, Mhorag."
"Mhorag is an amazing coach. She's flexible with scheduling lessons to suit a busy diary and is happy to provide great advice about kit and swimming technique during and between lessons. She had a clear plan for each lesson and also made adjustments to take on board what I felt I needed to work on more. She has made a risk assessment of the loch and always brings a first aid kit. She kept checking how I was getting on throughout the session and made me feel very safe. I highly recommend her coaching."
