I have been teaching swimming since the age of 13 and have spent years coaching swimmers and triathletes from beginner to competitive level. I am a qualified swimming and triathlon coach with an open water qualification, as well as a Swim Smooth advocate.
My own endurance background includes representing Great Britain 15 times at age-group level and competing at Ironman 70.3 World Championship level. Outside triathlon, I have completed the Vätternrundan sportive twice and ridden Land's End to John o' Groats from one end of Britain to the other.
I have also completed the inaugural UltraSwim 33.3 event, along with numerous open water swims in Cornwall, including Castle to Castle, Plymouth Breakwater, and Padstow to Rock.
That experience shapes how I coach: practical, technical, and focused on helping athletes become more confident, efficient, and capable in the water.
