Hi, I'm the Head Coach at Blandford Swim Club.  I am a Swim England Qualified Swimming Coach and have been coaching on and off for 30 years, having got my original qualifications (Prelim and Assistant Club Coach) at the University of Nottingham back in the early '90s.

I am a keen swimmer myself - and a Swim England registered Masters Swimmer - but struggle to keep up with many of the swimmers I now coach. I do however find my own swimming experience useful in trying to get messages across about new techniques or how a stroke is meant to feel.
