Kitson BSc Founder & International Tutor
Emie has three children, Bradley who was swimming at
15 months , Lucas who could swim 5m at the age if 2
½ years and Zane who was born in water at home
in May 2009, loves the water and at 2y swam independently
for 2 meters.
“I am so passionate about baby swimming because,
I had post–natal depression after my first son was
born and had lost all my self confidence. I began swimming
classes in Cambridge, I had real one-to-one time with
Bradley. Looking at him, swimming with him on my chest,
I felt myself fill with love for my son, this was my turning
point, pulling me out of depression. When I help a parent
and baby bond, the way Bradley and I did, I get the feeling
all over again and I know how much more enriched that
persons life is”.
For further development Emie is currently looking
for more volunteers with babies who have had birth trauma
i.e. vontouse, forceps or C- section births under the
age of 6 months as case studies please call to discuss
treatments.
"a wonderful part of my job is, not only
do I tutor teachers all over the world, I have also
tutored many of my 'swimming mum's' who have now gone
on to create their own swim schools around Northampton.
I also examine nationally, so I know parents are in
good hands wherever they live"
