SK Seals Swim School was set up by Sarah Knapman in 2008. Sarah has been passionate about swimming ever since her introduction to the world of competitive swimming some 25 years ago (at Smiths Swim Squad with Fred Bagshaw). 

Sarah spends most of her spare time swimming in the pool or sea and when she is not doing that she is either watching, teaching or thinking about swimming! Sarah’s teaching experience spans 20 years and includes both children and adults, from beginners to club level.

Sarah holds the ASA level 2 swimming teaching certificate as well as the ASA Adult and Child qualification (required for teaching under 4s). Sarah also holds the RLSS National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers, including Infant Life Support (lifesaving qualification). Jane Thomas also teaches for SK Seals. Jane is a keen swimmer and trains regularly both in the pool and sea. Jane has been involved in teaching swimming for many years.  Jane holds the ASA level 2 swimming teaching certificate as well as the RLSS National Rescue Award for Swimming Teachers and is a fully trained first aider. SK Seals is a fully insured swim school and is affiliated to the Amateur Swimming Association.
