Holly
Hi, I’m Holly!
You’ll find me teaching at our Colchester pools, where I love helping children build confidence and enjoy their time in the water. I’ve always had a strong connection to water—from teaching sailing to now teaching swimming, it’s where I feel most at home.
Joining Mini Swimming has been such a rewarding experience. I’m passionate about creating a calm, positive environment where little swimmers feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
I’m a firm believer that every child progresses in their own time, and my goal is always to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for along the way. I love seeing their confidence grow with every splash.
Holly is a fantastic baby and preschool swim teacher whose warm, welcoming nature instantly puts families at ease. Her classes are calm, nurturing, and full of gentle encouragement. She builds strong connections with both children and parents, creating a safe, positive environment where little swimmers thrive and grow in confidence.
I look forward to seeing you in the pool soon!

Top Teaching Tip:
“Patience is key—give swimmers time to settle, explore, and learn at their own pace. Confidence builds naturally when they feel relaxed and encouraged.”
