Seeing an improvement when giving tips on technique and seeing kids smile when they improve.

I wanted to pass on my knowledge and experience - plus generations of my family have coached at swimming clubs. I want to continue the tradition

I swam for Radcliffe Swimming Club as a child where we won Manchester and District Junior League for 3 years in a row. I also swam at Student Nationals when Ponds Forge opened in 1991. I have also competed nationally in Lifesaving. I used to be a goalie in Waterpolo. I now compete as a masters swimmer for Vulcans and Lincolnshire.

Biondi drill - gets the timing right for ‘fly
