Teaching, Coaching & Tutoring:
I began my teaching and coaching career as a Ski Instructor in the mid 1980’s and moved into swimming following the setting up of Floaters Swimming School in 1992, when it became self evident that there were – and still are – massive opportunities to make a real difference.

• ASA Tutor in 1998.
• National QA Assessor in 2001.
• STA Tutor in 2002
• Level 3 Assessor in 2004

I have also been an Active Sports Coach, Talent Camp Manager, TOPS (Schools) Tutor and qualified as Rugby Union coach in 2009.

Business:
I originally qualified as an Architect in 1976 and subsequently achieved an MBA in 1998.

Achievements:

• Piloting the original National Plan for Teaching Swimming
• Working Party member in the design of the ASA Aquamark Scheme
• Author of the hugely successful (and imitated) SwimCare teaching programme
• Inaugural Chairman of the National Federation of Swimschools
• Member of original ASA CPD assessment Panel.
