About
Sammie Swimming is a small, independent swimming school in Surrey, managed by self-confessed ‘aquaphile’ and mother-of-two, Sammie Griffiths.
Since qualifying as an STA instructor in 2014, Sammie has developed a loyal and sizeable following, and an enviable reputation as a skilled and dedicated swimming teacher. She has clocked up more than 4,000 hours of water-based instruction and prides herself on offering expert tuition to individuals and small groups, whether they be absolute beginners or seasoned athletes. Sammie has significant experience working with babies and with children who have special needs too.
Though much of Sammie’s life has been spent indulging her love of land-based sports, including marathon running and five years spent operating her own Personal Training business, it is her insatiable passion for water that endures. She remains a fervent Open Water Swimmer, and she regularly heads for the coast with her children – and her devoted hound, ‘Bear’ – whenever time permits!
