What made you want to become a coach?
I started the Learn to Swim programme with Xcite from 6 months old and progressed through the levels. I then joined Bathgate ASC where I developed my skills of swimming in a competitive environment. As I grew older I decided that competing wasn't for me, but I still wanted to be involved in the sport, so I decided coaching was the natural first step.
What’s your favourite thing about being a coach?
Seeing the progression of the swimmers! It's unbelievably rewarding to see the wee ones take on my feedback, work hard and build confidence to become the best swimmers that they can.
