Summary

I am a driven individual with a passion for swimming, motivated to support and inspire others. Having enjoyed many years as a competitive swimmer, I completed my NPLQ qualification and have lifeguarded at several pools over the last 2 years. This then inspired me to further my skills and train to become a teacher myself.
