Experience you can trust.

Mermazing Swimming® Limited is owned and operated by husband and wife team Barry and Melanie Dobbie. Both love to swim and spend huge amounts of time in the water with their children. Between them, Barry and Melanie have set up Mermazing Swimming® Limited to meet the overwhelming demand shown by people in the area to learn to swim.

Melanie's swimming teaching career began when she decided to retrain whilst on maternity leave with her eldest daughter in 2012 and hasn't looked back since. In that time, she has taught baby swimming, learn to swim, adult beginners, people with phobias, aqua natal, was the senior instructor at a school for children with complex additional needs, coaching competitive swimmers and everyone in between.

"I truly believe that all people can learn to enjoy the water and be safe and bring swimming into being a part of their lives for fun and for fitness. I absolutely love what I do and am lucky enough to have made a career out of teaching all ages and abilities to learn how to swim. I get such satisfaction and pride out of seeing the smiles given when a new skill is mastered by anyone in the water." Melanie Dobbie, Mermazing Swimming® Limited.

Absolutely delighted! My daughter who had a horrendous first swimming lesson experience elsewhere, which left her terrified of the water and practically strangling you so as to not let go of her in the water. She is doing fantastic. She’s so happy in the water with Mel and you’d never have known her fear. Chuffed to bits and highly recommend
