Latest news from Facebook
Cindy started her swimming career in the pool, swimming competitively as a child. This early jump start instilled in Cindy a deep love of water and swimming, encouraging her to swim regularly for fitness and take up water sports, such as surfing and wake boarding. Cindy still enjoys swimming and surfs whenever she can, often braving the colder UK climate to get in the water.
Cindy started teaching swimming in Cape Town, SA, with splashing success. Traveling took Cindy to London in 2007, where she broke her UK teaching teeth in the murky depths of Tooting Leisure Centre. This is where Cindy gained her reputation as someone who delivers fun, energetic and driven lessons.
Gaining popularity, Cindy decided to branch out on her own. Cindy’s Swim School was born in 2010 and exploded off the diving board!
Mark, Cindy’s husband joined CSS in 2012, and together since then, they have grown CSS to an impressive eleven pools, all based within South London.
Kaia, Mark and Cindy’s daughter, was born in 2017, and their son Tau was born in 2021, true water babies! Keep an eye out for their exciting swimming journey.
Cindy personally trains all new teachers and prides herself on the incredible tight knit team that CSS currently boast. The teaching style at CSS is very much as Cindy is herself; filled with humour, structure and fun! Classes are kept small so as to focus on the individual. And the lessons are structured with the key principles that Cindy holds dear; trust, water safety, fun, technique and progress.
Cindy’s roles include managing the management and office team, product development and managing exciting projects that keep CSS fresh and the kids motivated!
"Since childhood, I have been surrounded by family who love surfing and that enjoyment for being in open water passed onto me. Being in the sea amongst the waves brings me a lot of peace. Being a confident swimmer brings so much freedom and seeing swimmers gain that and reach their goals in the pool is a huge drive for me."
You can find Maisie at our Riversdale and Darwin Court pools!
