Gemma Sinclair
My name is Gemma Sinclair and I am the owner and director of Gemstone Pools LTD and AQUAGEM.
After qualifying as an ASA teacher in 2000 I came across the birthlight method, a holistic approach to introducing babies to water, i continued studying for my birthlight diploma in Infant Aquatics which I completed in 2004. After this time i set up my AQUAGEM swimming school, in 2009 I took the brave leap to build a purpose built swimming pool which is Gemstone Pools Ltd.
Through this time I had observed classes and researched babies instincts and development through swimming which I have now devised skills and how to deliver them effectively. These are needed to develop a child's ability to float and enjoy being above and below the water safely. I am passionate that skills and confidence are the steps needed to develop into distance swimming. Some children learn by watching, some by doing and some by associating it with toy of some sort.
I have carefully chosen and trained teachers that believe in these methods, to assist and deliver these tehniques effectively with confidence.
We have a family unit at the pool and aren't focused on spreading ourselves far and wide, its more about substance and keeping the quality of classes at the highest end in value for lessons to deliver exceptional results.
Learning to swim is like a journey through life, we all have ups and downs and isn't always going to be a bed of roses as children go through milestones in their little lives and changes in their development, so swimming can often be hindered. Consistency and perseverance will always pay off and being able to see the bigger picture of what we are trying to achieve will deliver results. It's great when children achieve there first swim across the pool calmly.
You are never wasting your time teaching your child to swim!
I have continued my qualifications to compliment my swimming school and now run classes in Aqua Yoga and Aqua Exercise for Pregnancy (pre & post natal), Baby Massage and Baby Yoga.

There's nothing like looking forward to going to work everyday, which is exactly what I do... I have been a swimming instructor at Aquagem for the last 2 years. I have always enjoyed teaching and have come from a background of fitness instructing. There's a difference when you work with children though, the sense of achievement is present most days. I love my job

Teaching babies and children water confidence and skills is an amazing job which I love.
After having my daughter and giving up my previous role as CEO of a local charity I decided to turn my love of swimming into a career. I really enjoy supporting parents/carers and their children as they develop skills, learn to swim, attain badges and have fun in the water. Being part of the great Aquagem team makes me very proud of my vocation.

My introduction and love for baby and preschool swimming began when I took my own daughter then aged 7mths to parent and baby swimming classes; we loved our time in the water together. Through expert tuition our swim skills progressed quickly and our passion and enthusiasm for swimming grew in abundance. When I moved back down south I discovered Gemma and her team at Aquagem who have inspired me to retrain and enable me to do a job that I feel really passionate about. There is nothing more satisfying than helping other parents and children enjoy their time in the water as much as we do and developing swimming skills that help keep you safe and stay with you for life.
