Summary
I am a motivated and enthusiastic 17-year-old with a strong passion for sport and fitness. I am a qualified lifeguard with hands-on experience in pool operations, where I have developed responsibility, teamwork, and attention to detail in fast-paced environments. Having been a competitive swimmer for seven years, I have built strong discipline, resilience, and a drive for continuous improvement.
I am currently progressing toward an HND in Sports and Fitness, which reflects my ambition to build a career in the health and fitness industry. Alongside swimming, I continue to play football and enjoy being part of team sports that challenge me both physically and mentally. I am passionate about promoting active, healthy lifestyles and look forward to applying my skills and enthusiasm to future opportunities in the sports and fitness field.
