What classes or sports do you coach?
Learn to Swim (all levels), Swim Development, Aquatics tutoring and aquatic education with Scottish Swimming.

What made you want to become a coach?
My journey began as a lifeguard at Xcite Linlithgow, where I supported swimming lessons and saw the dedication of the teaching team. Seeing the joy on children’s faces when they mastered new skills inspired me to gain my Scottish Swimming Teacher Qualification (SSTQ).

I soon realised just how much of a difference swimming teachers can make, helping children develop their skills and confidence while learning a vital life skill that could one day save a life.

What’s your favourite thing about being a coach?
It’s such a rewarding role, and no two days are ever the same! I love being able to make a difference, support others in their development and help people build skills that will stay with them for life.
