Meet The Team

Emily Cass

Instructor

With SwimWay since August 2025

I’ve been teaching swimming since 2017, working with everyone from tiny babies just starting their aquatic journey to older children and adults building confidence in the water.  A big focus of my career has been teaching children with special educational needs and physical disabilities.  I love finding creative ways to adapt lessons so that every swimmer feels supported, included, and able to succeed.

Over the years I’ve helped develop specialised programmes designed to engage children who may be nervous or reluctant at first.  By building trust, encouraging play, and gradually introducing structure, I’ve seen swimmers grow from hesitant beginners into confident, happy water-lovers.

Alongside my work in the pool, I’ve managed teaching teams, designed swim programmes and award schemes, and worked closely with parents to track and celebrate progress.  I also hold ASA Level 2 and STA Adult & Baby qualifications, which allow me to support families from the earliest stages.

For me, swimming lessons should be fun, motivating, and tailored to each child.  Nothing is more rewarding than watching a swimmer develop new skills, gain confidence, and discover a lifelong love of the water.
