Blwyddyn Newydd dda!!
Happy New Year!
I had the best Christmas present ever from the NHS following a lymphnode ultrasound which came back clear 🙏🙌🙌🎉✨️✨️✨️❤️
I have a few more tests to do in January but I'm really hopeful that I can start my weekly sessions back at Funtastic childrens soft play & Party centre, Caerphilly soon for Halibalw.
My confidence has been rocked and dwindled slightly but I'm super thankful to all my swim parents and your children who are an absolute joy to teach..... my friends and family for sticking by me and keeping me going throughout this year 🙏🙌
Here's to a happy and healthy 2026 for us all 🥳💖🎉
Diolch # # # # # #

It's taken months for me to write this but, I wanted to share a personal update with you all. As you all know, Halibalw Miwsig sessions have been on hold for a while.

Back in February, I was diagnosed with cancer. It’s been a challenging time, and I’ve been focusing on my health, family and most importantly my two beautiful children Mollie and Dexter ❤️💔 as we navigate this journey together.

Throughout this, I’ve continued to teach swimming and have stayed as committed as possible — especially to my private swimming lessons which also cater for children who have additional needs alongside parent-and-child lessons for Cwac Cwacs on Saturdays.

Unfortunately, finding suitable cover for Clap & Song sessions simply wasnt possible as it caters for many things beyond the weekly sessions such as private bookings for various events, birthday parties etc, so these will remain on hold for now. But I'm really hoping it won't be for too much longer.

I want to say a heartfelt thank you for all your kind messages and support — it truly means the world to me. I’m hopeful to be back up and running as soon as I can. I have an amazing support network surrounding me made up of friends, family and my wonderful customers. Funtastic childrens soft play & Party centre, Caerphilly have also been very supportive along with Matt from CWAC CWAC's.

My support workers at Macmillan who contact me weekly are also amazing and I'm feeling super thankful for everything right now❤️🙌❤️
And last but certainly not least The House of Human Potential In Cardiff Bay... for showing me such kindness, strength and support throughout this. Benny Matthews especially 🙌

I really appreciate all the continued messages and requests for Halibalw Miwsig to attend various events/ parties from customers, Mudiad Meithrin, Menter Iaith etc and I'm sorry I haven't been able to commit to anything this year, but super thankful you havent forgotten me! I miss it all so much and I hope to be back jumping around ...singing and entertaining your little ones soon, which is something I love love love doing.

Diolch
Thank you

Important notice:

Tomorrow will be the last performance from Halibalw Miwsig for a little while. All existing customers have been contacted. This includes weekly Clap a Chân sessions and private bookings/events.

Private Swimming lessons are continuing for now and will hopefully be covered by another teacher when and where needed. But when it comes to Clap a Chân/ Clap and Song sessions it's not possible for me to find a solution to keep this going if it's not me doing it.

I'm unable to provide a timescale as to when things will be back up and running but I shall keep you all updated and thank you so so much for all your super supportive messages and calls it really means a lot ❤️
