HEATHER SCHELHASE

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa and embarked on a UK adventure in 2004, and the adventure continues. My love for swimming led me to becoming an open water coach in 2016 where I got my Swim England level 2 open water coaching qualifications. Taking it further, I obtained additional qualifications from the STA in May 2019, under the guidance of Keri-anne Payne, a two-time 10-kilometer open water world champion and Olympic silver medallist.

 

For me, swimming isn't just coaching – it's a passion. I enjoy sharing the entire swimming experience with others and will likely convince you to explore open water upon meeting. I try to bring a mixture of fun and understanding to my coaching approach, recognising the challenges of mastering front crawl and open water swimming.
