I cannot remember a time when I didn’t love being in the water. Since my secondary school days I have been fortunate to be able to participate in some very enjoyable water activities. I really enjoy sharing this passion of the water with the next generation of swimmers.
As a swim coach at Marsden Swim School I teach them important skills that I hope will give them pleasure throughout their lives. I believe this is best achieved by providing a safe and enjoyable learning experience to build water confidence and keep the swimmers wanting to come back for more.
As a father of 2 teenage daughters I too understand the need of a safe and encouraging environment for our children.

I took up swimming lessons as a child. In my school years, it was my main CCA. It gave me a sense of achievement whether I improved on my timing or pushed myself to cover a greater distance. Swimming is also a great destressor. Besides the benefits of exercise, immersing myself in the water melts away stress. Swimming is a gift and life skill that will benefit a child for life.
