As the founder of a successful swimming coaching company in Pembrokeshire, she has built her work around helping others discover confidence in the water, whatever their starting point.

Guests appreciate her light-hearted approach and the safe, supportive atmosphere she creates, where fear can be replaced with curiosity, joy, and a real sense of personal breakthrough. Whether you are new to open water or looking to deepen your practice, Makala offers an empowering experience rooted in resilience and genuine care.
