Linda has literally changed my life! I have been swimming with her weekly for almost a year now and I have improved so much under her guidance. Before I met her, even getting into the ocean was a far fetched idea. She has helped me get more confident in water by constantly trying to improve my technique and address all of my fears. She has a great attitude and knows exactly how to get the best out of her students. Highly recommended!!

Linda is an AMAZING swim coach. Work with her if you're so lucky as to be able to. I just successfully got my bronze medallion for surf lifesaving. Would never have been able to before Linda's help. Been waiting to write this review until I made it through my assessment. She rebuilt my whole stroke, and we're still working on it. So appreciate it. She's trained so many people here and really has the expertise. She's also just a lovely, lovely person to get to know. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

An incredible swim coach who has transformed my daughter’s confidence! Linda at Good Swim Manly has been absolutely amazing with my daughter, Betsy. Over the past few months, she’s taken Betsy out swimming from Manly to Shelly Beach on weekends (whenever we’ve been able to make it), and the transformation has been remarkable. Not only has Betsy’s swimming improved, but her confidence in the ocean has skyrocketed, and so has her genuine love for the water. Linda brings a calm, encouraging presence that makes kids feel safe, seen, and empowered to push themselves just that little bit further each time. We’re so grateful for the care and enthusiasm Linda brings to every swim. Her approach has had a lasting impact not just on Betsy’s skills, but on how she feels about herself in the water. Highly recommend Good Swim Manly to any family wanting their child to gain both technique and joy in the ocean!

Linda was amazing! I highly recommend having a lesson with her if you’re new to ocean swimming. I was a bit nervous when we started but she made me feel very at ease and comfortable in the water. She also offered advice which helped me swim more efficiency and made a world of difference. Thank you Linda!

Linda is an incredible teacher and helped me so much on my first ocean swim from Manly to Shelly. I was so nervous and I quickly realised how different ocean swimming is compared to the pool. Linda has such a calming presence which made me feel safe and capable. She explained techniques clearly and was so encouraging. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants to give ocean swimming a go whether you are a noob like me or someone more skilled but wanting to improve technique and speed.
