With experience across development and performance pathways, I work with swimmers and coaches to ensure training is purposeful, age-appropriate and aligned to clear outcomes. Sessions are planned with progression in mind, balancing technical development, physical preparation and athlete wellbeing.

What I Offer

  • Development and performance swim coaching

  • Squad support and cover coaching

  • Programme design and review

  • Coach mentoring and support

  • Competition preparation and performance planning

  • Short-term projects or longer-term programme delivery

Coaching Approach

My coaching is underpinned by research-informed practice and a clear understanding of athlete retention and progression. I place strong emphasis on:

  • Appropriate progression by age and ability

  • High expectations without unnecessary pressure

  • Enjoyment as a driver of long-term success

  • Clear communication and consistency

  • Safe, well-managed training environments

I am a Level 3 Swim Coach, signed off in both Development and Performance, and a Level 2 Swimming Teacher. This allows me to work confidently across pathways, from foundational development through to competitive performance.

Who I Work With

  • Swimming clubs and squads

  • Leisure operators and local authorities

  • Athletes requiring short-term or targeted support

  • Coaching teams seeking mentoring or programme development

Professional Standards

All coaching is delivered in line with relevant safeguarding, safety and governing-body expectations. My wider experience in leadership, systems development and quality assurance ensures that coaching provision is not only effective on poolside, but robust behind the scenes.
