Kirsty Hogben - Sea Swim Confidence Coach

01/04/2026

This moment, just before you go deeper, is often the hardest part of any of my swims.

Today I coached someone who had never swum out of their depth before. They wanted to feel confident enough to swim further out with their friends.

By the end, they’d gone further than they thought possible, and you could feel the shift in their confidence. It was amazing to see.

That’s the part I love most about coaching - helping people realise what they’re capable of 🌊!

To all the women of the sea - keep showing up. Keep finding the courage to step into nature and feel it all ☺️🌊

For me, the sea is where I remember my strength.

Mermaid beach took a battering this morning!

Winter storms reshape the coastline here every year - sometimes gently, sometimes dramatically.

This beach has held so many swims, and the wall breaking feels sad, but it’s also the wildness of the sea reminding us she’s alive, shifting and powerful.
