Lillypad Swimmers

Linda Cassidy is the founder of Lillypad Swimmers, (named after her daughter Lilly). Lillypad Swimmers started whilst Linda accompanied her husband on a military posting in Germany. Linda found there were no swimming classes available for babies to take her daughter to so she started her own! It was vital to Linda that her daughter got into the pool as soon as possible. Linda loves water and can be found in it swimming and scuba diving and on it when windsurfing. The lessons in Germany proved to be so popular that on returning to the UK Linda set up here in the North East of England. She was in the Army for 17 years, but really found her calling when she started teaching. “I love being in the pool with the kids, they never fail to amaze me with what they are capable of and every day brings such a sense of achievement.”

I have now completed a Diploma in baby and preschool swimming, Level 2 certificate in swimming instruction and Pre/Post-natal Aqua aerobics courses. Lillypad Swimmers is all about nurturing swimmers through every stage of life.  Sessions are led by professional swimming instructors who are energetic with positive attitude. Lillypad Swimmers sessions are designed to be enjoyed by all in a fun relaxed environment.
