Daisy Suffield

Daisy Suffield is a fully qualified and experienced ASA level 2 swim teacher.   She started her swimming career as a competitive swimmer with The Borough of Harrow SC before turning her attention to the teaching side of sport.  She is resourceful, reliable and possesses common sense.  Daisy has huge experience in teaching children:  she was Young Leader with Rainbows and Brownies from 2012 to 2016 and went on to become a Lead Coach with Rugby Tots.  Here she set up the equipment, explained and organised games, encouraged children to participate and helped where necessary, demonstrating basic game skills and planning sessions.  More latterly, she qualified as a ski instructor and taught in Canada for ten months before moving back to England to take up a post at Aldenham School, appropriately enough, as a sports assistant.

Daisy possesses great confidence and enthusiasm when teaching swimming.  She explains technique with clarity and a sense of fun.  She is able to demonstrate water skills, plan and evaluate lessons and builds up water confidence especially with those who are anxious.  Still teaching swimming with J9 as a cover teacher and over holiday periods, she has had experience of teaching both 1:1s and groups, from non-swimmers to competitive squad swimmers and both children and adults.  She is adept at teaching all age groups and abilities.

Daisy is a member of Swim England and is DBS checked (enhanced).  She lives at home in Harrow Weald with her family.
