What classes or sports do you coach?
Swimming
What made you want to become a coach?
Swimming has been a huge part of my life, and I wanted to become a coach so I could help others feel confident and safe in the water. Teaching is also really rewarding, especially when you see someone progress and achieve something new that they couldn’t do before.
What’s your favourite thing about being a coach?
I enjoy building positive relationships with swimmers and helping them feel comfortable and confident in the water. Watching them progress and celebrating their achievements is definitely the best part of coaching.
Tell us one fun fact about yourself!
I’ve probably spent more time in and around swimming pools than people have spent in their own kitchens!
