Hi everyone, I'm Becca — the face behind The Swimming Bee 👋 With over 15 years of experience as a competitive swimmer, 10 years as an ASA Level 2 Teacher, and 8 years as an ASA Level 1 Coach, swimming has always been a huge part of my life. I'm fully DBS checked and up to date with Continuing Professional Development courses, so you can feel confident that you or your child are in safe, experienced hands. I'm proud to offer tailored 1-to-1's for both children and adults of all abilities — from complete beginners to those wanting to refine their technique or build competitive confidence. My approach is calm, supportive and completely personalised to your goals. Whether it's overcoming nerves, learning the fundamentals, improving stroke technique or working towards competitive performance, lessons are designed around what you want to achieve.

So why The Swimming Bee? 🐝

Bees don't naturally swim like humans do, but they are incredibly resilient if they ever find themselves in water. They adapt, they keep going, and they find a way through.

That idea represents exactly what my business stands for — helping you build confidence, resilience and the skills needed not just to cope in the water, but to truly thrive.

It also has a personal meaning — my nickname is "B", so the name felt like the perfect fit 💛
