The winning nomination came from Adam & Richard who swim with Lourita in Dippers at Latchmere Leisure Centre
This is the second time Lourita has won this award due to her passion for supporting local young swimmers to overcome their fears and build confidence in water.
“We would love for Lourita to win the Star Teacher award as she was extremely encouraging and reassuring with our son who had such a great fear of going underwater. Thank you, Lourita, for helping him overcome this fear”.
The winner of the award was chosen by Amandeep Kaur, Director of Events at Heston Hyde Hotel in Hounslow, who commented: “I loved reading all the wonderful nominations that were sent in, but the reason why I chose this one is because as a child, and still as an adult, I have a fear of going underwater, and for little ones I can only imagine that fear being ten times greater! Lourita was able to put a nervous child at ease and made him feel like he had nothing to be scared about. Congratulations Lourita!”.
