Zoë
Founder, Office Manager & Swim Teacher
After working with children in various settings for over 20 years, I decided that I wanted to set up my own venture that fitted in around a young family. I have always had a love of the water, having been a competitive swimmer as a youngster, so I decided to train as a Shaw Method swimming teacher and Little Seahorses was born.
Since starting up in 2016, we have taught 100’s of children (and their families) valuable lifesaving, water safety and swimming skills. It has been a pleasure and an honour to watch children grow in confidence over the time they spend with us and become happy, confident, competent swimmers.
I have a love of all things nature, walking my three whippets and eating good food. I have three children and a wonderful husband who are my rocks. Since starting out, the company has grown to now include my extended ‘Little Seahorses’ family, Angie and Anna, to whom I am extremely grateful for making us such a well-known and well-loved brand.
Fun facts: I have done a 13-mile night walk and jumped out of a plane to raise money for the homeless. I was once on a gameshow called ‘Child’s Play’. My dad was a stunt double for James Bond.
Angela
Swim Teacher
I started my swim teaching journey with Little Seahorses in June 2021 and began teaching in March 2022.
My son was having lessons with Zoë, who asked if I’d be interested in training up. I’m so glad she did. I love being part of a fantastic team, working with children and their parents, and being in the water. The best part is watching them grow in confidence and pride in their swimming skills. Zoë's dedication to her staff is also amazing.
We receive ongoing Alexander technique training and swimming lessons among other things.
I’m also a yoga teacher specialising in pregnancy, birth preparation, postnatal recovery, babies, and children. I'm passionate about ease of movement, biomechanics, and primitive reflexes. I love swimming, nature, singing, music, and dancing. Plus, my 3 children are fun and teach me lots!
