COACHING WITH GEMMA
Gem feels most at home in water, drawing energy and perspective from nature. Adventurous yet grounded, she believes boldness comes from a desire to grow.
With a background in supportive roles, becoming a swim coach was a natural step. Despite not having a competitive swim history, she embraced the challenge of joining the World Record Winter Swimming Relay in Tallinn, Estonia.
Her experience in cold water swimming gives her a deep appreciation for its benefits, which she shares through the 'Introduction to Open and Cold Water' courses at Watersedge. She looks forward to helping you discover the beauty of swimming and reconnect with yourself.

COACHING WITH DAN
Coaching and competing has been part of Dan’s life almost two decades. During this time he has been lucky enough to win world and national age group titles and medals in triathlon and duathlon.
Throughout this period he has also coached a huge range of athletes as well as those looking to take part in swimming from complete beginners to budding pros, and understanding that everyone has to start somewhere. That as well as the fact that there is always room to improve is an important approach to his ethos. Open water swimming is very different to pool swimming and there are huge gains to be made with the right guidance.
