🌊 Meet Coach Keira! 🌊
We are delighted to welcome Keira, who will be teaching on Mondays and Tuesdays next term. Get to know your coach! 👋

Hiya, I am Keira. I have loved water and swimming ever since I was little, and I started competitive swimming at age 11. I have competed at both local and national levels. Over the past year and a half, I have been coaching the Highland Disability Swim Team Junior Team, which has given me the opportunity to work with children with both learning and physical disabilities. I have also completed some basic pool-related Makaton training to support communication around the pool.

I have a disability myself, and I understand the importance of having a safe, inclusive space to learn to swim, where everyone feels understood and supported.

In my day job, I work within an enhanced provision supporting children with additional support needs.

In my spare time, I enjoy open water swimming and spending time with my dog!

If you would like to enquire about lessons, please email hello@nairnhydrotherapy.co.uk 🌊💙

🏊‍♀️ News from Nairn Hydrotherapy Trust! 🏊‍♂️

We are now offering swimming lessons for children from ages 4 and up!

Whether your child is just starting out, looking to learn to swim, or struggling to progress in their current lessons, Nairn Hydrotherapy Trust is the perfect pool for them to shine. Our coaches will take great care of your child, whatever stage they’re at.

For some children, this might be their very first time in swimming lessons, so don’t worry if your child feels nervous or shy. Our lessons will focus on water safety, building confidence, having fun, and developing essential swim skills for life - like stroke technique, breathing, flotation, and more!

✨ We’re also offering Swim Lessons for Children with Additional Support Needs (ASN), with in-water support from a supervising adult (parent, carer, or guardian). We understand that not all children are ready to be in the water without their parent or guardian, and we recognize that emotional aquatic needs are just as important as physical readiness. Our approach ensures every child feels safe, supported, and confident in the water.

✨ Ready to join? ✨
✅ Small classes of 4 children
✅ One class per group with no pool sharing - focused learning environment
✅ A perfect mix of water safety, swimming skills, and fun!

💷 Cost: £15 per lesson + £30 annual membership fee per child

💙 All profits go back into the charity and its projects, helping us make a difference in our community.

Lessons will run during term-time in line with Highland Council School Holidays. The new term begins after the October holidays on:

🗓️ Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 4-7pm
🗓️ Saturday & Sunday: 2-5pm

We can’t wait to introduce you to our new coaching team soon! 🤝

To register your interest, please email us at hello@nairnhydrotherapy.co.uk

We look forward to helping your child swim confidently and safely! 💙💧
