Jacquie:
Hi. I’ve just got back from my talk and David has poured me a gin and tonic and I’ve taken finger to keyboard to send you a little note. I did call upon some of my weekend sensations and feelings and had some very positive feedback from the group.
I’d just like to say thanks again for the empowerment you gave me over the weekend. What a roller coaster of thoughts, feelings and experiences!!
Onwards and upwards!!
David has said how proud he is of me and asked me when I’m going to book another session with you. We will be in touch after we get back from Jersey in September. He is quite pleased about your assessment of his swimming stroke I might add.
Our friends are taking us to their gym pool soon and I’ll practice the techniques you have shared with me. I genuinely am looking forward to getting back into the water. Hydrotherapy on Wednesday will be a diagonal route across the pool without hanging on. It will be done!!
You are a special person Irene.

I was with you a couple of weeks ago taking lessons at your wonderful establishment.
Since I got back to London I have been to the local pool twice (very early while it’s quiet) to continue on where we left off. I have also signed a 4 month contract for a night shift starting next Monday. So I don’t know how that is going to work while trying to juggle everything else. But rest assured, I will be swimming by xmas at the latest.
Once again Irene, I can’t thank you enough for what you have done for me. It’s such a wonderful feeling to be able to get into the water and do what I can do.

Just spent two days with irene, what a lovely lady. We arrived a little late on the thursday nite but Irene was straight down and let us into our accommodation, which is a two up two down house. We had a quick chat then arranged to meet at 9.00 am. Its great that the pool is only 10 paces from where my wife and i was staying, my wife came along for moral support, which was great.
Many years ago i was pushed into a indoor swimming pool and had to be pulled out, well that was enough for me, I never went back into the water for some time. Then after spending two days with irene who understood my fear of the water, she explained in detail everything what the water does and what she wanted me to do.
I managed to do things i never thought i would do in the water, now i can look forward to put into practice everything irene has taught me, and enjoy my holidays instead of sitting at the side. Irene A VERY BIG THANK YOU FROM ME !!
Hi Irene
I’d like to thank you so much for your 2 day course in helping me rid my fear of getting into the waterwater.
On the first day I was apprehensive about getting into to pool and with your superb, and highly professional coaching, after the two day course I was able to glide across the pool with my arms outstretched, head in the water and propelled using my legs and feet. That was an amazing achievment and one I never thought would happen.
Ather your sessions I went a whole year without going near a pool but last year managed to book a full 6 months of once a week sessions at our local baths.
I started not where we left off but soon got round to it. and by the end of the 6 months I can now breast stroke or front crawl across the pool ( width only and the front crawl is in one breath, cant do it breathing yet ).
I can only manage to swim if my feet are within reach of the bottom of the pool. No deep end swimming yet but I suppose that will come in time with more confidence.
I thought I must write, or type, to thank you as without your help none of this would be possible as I would not even have had the confidence to get into the local pool.
Hopefully this year I will get time to visit the pool again to get the confidence for the deep end.
In case you can’t remember, I’m the Asian gay whose toned legs would not stay afloat, but just kept sinking when still.
Keep up the good work.
