About Mantis
Who We Are
Started by two brothers from Bridgend, Wales who have more than 10 years of coaching and teaching experience, and many more as competitive swimmers – competing nationally within the UK and Spain.
During our time working in the UK and at specialised centers in Spain, we’ve developed and perfected the skills needed to help you succeed with your goals.
