After over a decade of serving the Penistone community and surrounding areas,  at Willow Babes (highly recommended swim school to whom I owe so much). We sectioned off my classes in 2022 and rebranded them as Swim Play Academy.  My path since 2008 has been an amazing one and I feel I am brimming with ideas knowledge and experience that I'm excited to share with you all. We put equal emphasis on both swim and play, we feel they go hand in hand and its how children learn best.  Our hand crafted world renowned classes,  are shared with instructors all over the world though Aquatic Roleplay Themes.  Our classes have layers of various methods and types of play (sensory, messy, movement etc) that we will use to not only help our swimmers learn to swim, but enrich them in regards to the Early Year Foundation Principles.  Play forms the cement and foundations to a healthy strong relationship to learning. In addition to this I am holistically trained including RMTi Rhythmic Movements , I am a certified school readiness practitioner and hold levels 1 and 2 with the RMTi this helps me understand struggles your child may face when it comes to movement and learning. We also work closely with with the Swimming Teachers Association though Emma's brand ambassadorship which has lead to opportunities speaking at a national level and tutoring to teach and inspire a new generation of instructors. ​We have such passion for swimming and it is our aim to pass the knowledge of swimming on to your child and create a life long love and respect of the water
