We need more swimming in children’s literature
Why books about water are so important.

I SWIM, I TEACH, I WRITE!
Hey, I’m Rebecca. A swim teacher and writer from Warwickshire in the UK.
Each week I teach over 100 children the most exciting (and I think important) skill in the world – how to swim! I am SEND trained and support those with additional needs.
I am a storyteller and write fiction and non-fiction for children. I used to work as a journalist and online writer and have won two awards for my writing.
I also used to work in marketing, running my own communications agency. I still take on short-term business consultancy projects.
I’m obsessed with swimming! If I am not writing, you can find me in the water.
