I was nervous about beginning my jounery as an Open Water Coach. I swim and wanted to coach for mindful purposes rather than physical training. I am very much a dipper! From the moment I spoke to Kerri – anne on the phone I was reassured that this was for all swimmers who wanted to coach. I found the course hugely informative and helpful. It was lovely to be with a group who share a passion for water! It has taken my working life in a direction which I never thought possible. Thank you for enstilling the confidence to do this.

Sarah Guise

I really loved this course. I am definitely coaching other fields in a very different way (asking lots more questions, leaving deliberate pauses for ‘awkward’ quiet time and holding back on giving my own answers). My interactions with my kids has also evolved for the better!

Vaughan Robinson

I have really enjoyed becoming a SLS/STA swimming coach and look forward to the opportunities that the SLS pro membership affords me, it is inspiring me to make the best of 2021. Thank you!

With Keri Anne’s guidance I’ve had the confidence to go on and create my own coaching business. She is knowledgeable, professional and always there to provide feedback and help. I would highly recommend Keri Anne to anyone looking to enter the swimming profession in whatever capacity

Wesley Connelly

I would definitely recommend the Open Water Swim Coaching course. Brilliantly facilitated, informative and engaging. Really enjoyed it. Wish all courses could be as good.

Kate Mears

The Straight line swimming Level 2 Open Water Swimming Coach Course has been without parallel as a learning experience for me. Their passion for what the are teaching and most importantly how they are delivering this course is extraordinary. This unique facilitative, person centred approach was carried right the way through to the end of our final practical assessment day, where we all felt so supported and encouraged to soak up all the learning, self reflection and renewed motivation for our personal development even throughout the assessment element. This is a truly inspiring course. Thank you Kerri-anne and David

I’ve taken part in the first stage of the open water coaching course and I have to say it surpassed my expectations! The methods taught have given me confidence and a whole lot to think about before hopefully passing the course. Kerri-Anne is an excellent coach, knowledgeable, patient and above all engaging. Highly recommended to anyone who loves the open water!
