Testimonials

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!

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

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

This is one awesome and incredibly knowledgeable team. Amazing experience and so much fun. Met lots of lovely people and will remember forever. Utterly brilliant.

Janet Morris

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!

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.

I think that your ‘An Evening With’ Zoom calls are brilliant and a highlight of my month, certainly over the last few weeks.  I absolutely loved your chats with Adrienne Herbert and Sophie Hellyer, what a tonic and a much-needed boost you all gave us

Just wanted to say I really enjoyed both Jamie and Alexandra this evening, two very different swimmers but lots of recurring themes. A very enjoyable evening spent listening to them both. Well done to Kerri-anne and yourself. Looking forward to the next one
