BODY CONFIDENCE
I can’t recommend Ella and her 'Body Confidence' sea swim course enough! In just 6 weeks, I’ve learned swim drills to improve my technique and have become more relaxed with my breathing.
Thank you Ella, you’re a brilliant, super positive & fun coach.
Ella is also just a lovely person to be around, and has a good calm, positive energy. I really wanted to do this course for some 'me time' and I felt I got some of that especially from the relationships formed with the other swimmers too. I also really valued the support given to me from Clarence House as a subsidy, without which, I wouldn't have been able to do the course, especially after a difficult time of redundancy. I am truly grateful to Ella and Clarence House for giving me the ability to do the course.
