Trina Wake2023-10-14Fab session with loads of encouragement and tips for getting started with open water swimming
rabinder harrison2023-10-06I can swim but only just and have very low confidence in the water. However, Carrine is incredibly encouraging and supportive and 5 weeks in I can see the difference. I would highly recommend to anyone whatever level, its great coaching at all levels for anyone looking to improve.
Rachael Bolton2023-09-30An Absolutely amazing group session this morning (30.09.23) with Carrine at Pool Bridge Farm, Carrine was exceptionally knowledgeable and reassuring as it was my first open water experience. I would definitely recommend the introduction to open water swimming with Carrine to gain an understanding of open water swimming and build confidence.
Alicia Sykes2023-08-03Carrine has literally changed my life. I love open swimming but have /had crippling anxiety about being out of my depth or putting my face in the water following a traumatic childhood experience. I didn't learn to swim till I was 14 and my skills were limited to the breast stroke. I met Carrine at an open water venue and had a chat about my fears. She gave me lots of advice and made me feel at ease. A few weeks later I decided that at the age of 42 it was time to combat those fears. I got in contact with Carrine who remembered our conversation and we discussed my goals and all the options available. By the end of the first session I was putting my face in the water and this week (session 4) I'm on my way to doing the front crawl ! This is all owning to Carrine's fantastic teaching style. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, patient and kind. I would highly recommend Carrine to anyone.
Simon Gooch2023-07-10I had a 1:1 hour open water swim lesson with Carrine. My objective going in was to improve my confidence leading into my first triathlon. I’m fairly fit and by no means a beginner at swimming generally but swimming in open water and in a wet suit was new to me. Carrine is clearly incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and combines this with a “spot on” demeanour that shows you she is listening, cares about your goals and yet can also push you to do more. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough whatever your performance goals and I’m looking forward to joining future sessions with her to improve my technique and fitness.
Sheila Bushell2023-06-30Carinne is a great coach. She made me feel at ease from the moment she introduced herself. Very knowledgeable, helpful and encouraging. I felt quite confident after my session.
romina cattle2023-06-28Amazing coaching!! Love every minute!! Iam so happy with the support and encourage of my coach !!
Jessica Brewer2023-06-26By far the best coach out there! I started my running journey during lockdown with no idea what I was doing and no motivation to maintain running - it was a way of losing weight at the time. Three years later Carrine has coached me through developing stamina, enhancing muscle and punching my way through that mental barrier. From a beginner to running my first marathon this year and I wouldn’t have done it without the help of Carrine. She is a truly inspiring woman. The most caring, understanding coach who always makes sure everything is tailored exactly to the individual. Not just a coach but now a friend. I would highly recommend Carrine to anyone - she is incredible.
Jason Feavers2023-06-01Recently started SwimRun. I’m a fairly slow breast stroke swimmer and booked a 1-1 coaching session with Carrine to gain confidence swimming with running shoes and to improve technique. Carrine was very astute at observing existing technique and teaching improvements in a really easy to understand way. Carrine ensured I felt very at ease during the session and that I was picking up coaching tips effectively. Just a one hour session with Carrine has helped me to improve my technique to such an extent that even whilst wearing running shoes I’m now over 3 mins quicker on a 300m lap than I was before coaching.Load more
