"Ellie makes sure she has 1:1 time with every child as well as bringing them together as a group.
"She also finds ways to incorporate parents in the pool and parents watching from the side by giving little bits of praise and feedback about their child. We are so lucky to have her and can’t wait to attend more!”
Thrilled to have won the award, Ellie said: “It is so rewarding to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they learn to swim and to see their confidence in the water develop during each lesson. I’d like to thank all of the swimmers and their families for their kind words, it really does mean a lot.”
