Biography

I joined Fitness First Swim Academy in 2016 - 2019, I then took a year to spend time in Kenya with my family and then I returned in December 2020. I have lots of experience of teaching people of different ages and abilities in various swim schools in Dubai, Nairobi and Muscat. I am a keen sportswomen and have taken part in the Ironman 70.3 in Dubai and I also enjoy Dragon Boat paddling.  My goal is to complete a full marathon and Ironman 140.6 triathlon in 2023 Florida. I love the outdoors and open water sport activities such as paddeling, snorkeling and climbing mountains.

I am a very positive and happy person, and love seeing my swimmers develop their skills and become more confident in the water, my motto is ‘It’s never too late to learn to swim!’
