I have been involved with the club since 2014 when my daughters joined as tadpoles, they now swim in B squad and Development and love the training as well as the galas.  Both of my daughters have made great friends at swimming. I became committee secretary in 2017 and can regularly be found on poolside.

Outside of swimming I enjoy keeping fit and walking my two labradors, I also have a busy job in the NHS. 

Appointed Head Coach in December 2018

My son Oliver joined the club just over 2 years ago, having spent some time with Harrogate swimming club.

I became involved in the committee 12 months ago, rolling out the club app (TeamApp) on mobile devices, which is a useful tool when used to its full potential.  Being a Licensed FA Coach teaching junior football I felt my experience of using such an app within a football club would add value to the swimming club.  I also assist at club gala’s in a timekeeping capacity or other duties.  I can be found around the pool typically on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday, should you have any questions or want to know more about TeamApp.

I have been part of the swimming club since 2010, when both my boys joined. I quickly got roped in as welfare officer, before becoming chair in 2014. After four years as chair, I have now taken the role of vice chair. My son Archie swims in the A squad. Swimming is a huge part of his life- which means it is a huge part of mine too! Outside the club, I am a veterinary surgeon, a runner and a musician, as well as spending a lot of time on the side of rivers supporting Archie’s older brother whose sport is rowing. Water seems to be a feature in our lives one way or another!
