What classes or sports do you coach?
Swimming.
What made you want to become a coach?
I fell into coaching by accident! I was volunteering at school holiday clubs when the swim club was looking for helpers, so I decided to give it a try - and quickly fell in love with it!
What’s your favourite thing about being a coach?
Seeing everyone progress, develop and learn new skills is so rewarding. It’s not just about learning water skills, but social skills too. Knowing I can make a positive impact on someone’s life and teach them a valuable life skill that everyone should have the opportunity to learn is what keeps me going.
