Read Charlene's Story

Charlene specialises in the emotional building blocks of every swimmer — their ability to understand themselves in the water. Swimming is a solitary sport, and that self-awareness is a critical part of development.
Expression Swimmers also coaches children with special needs, including water phobia, water anxiety, and water trauma. Water is a therapeutic environment — and with the right approach, a safe one.
