Bio
Bill Paterson
Helen is a fantastic swimming instructor. She was able to transform my front crawl in the course of a few months. When I went to Helen I had the goal of completing an open water triathlon, but I was unable to swim more than a couple of hundred metres. Helen was very enthusiast about my goal and the challenge I presented. In no time at all she set me at ease in the water with her expert knowledge, professional approach and social skills. Helen filmed by swimming so that I could really understand the issues with my stroke and then demonstrated how to resolve them. I was directed to literature on swimming (homework) that we would discuss. She initiated triathlon specific training sessions in my wetsuit. I completed by sea swim triathlon and now regularly swim 1600 m in open water, which has greatly enhanced my life.

Helen and I studied sports together at University of Stirling. We found our common passion in Sport Science, though I believe Helen was the brain out of the two of us. She always amazed me in her 100% commitment to study, jobs, children and volunteer work. Amazing task mangement. Through years of studying, Helen has become one of my good friends which I can always relay on. Anyone who has the pleasure to work with Helen can expect 100% and good support any challenge coming your way. Maria Omma
