Swimming Club: Fitness Captain

As your fitness captain, I would like to make the sport as accessible as possible and allow swimmers to hit their goals be it learning butterfly or finally being able to tumble turn.

I have been swimming for nearly 15 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. So much so, during my gap year, I gained my qualification to be a swimming teacher and have since taught hundreds of students ranging from babies to adults. I have also taught a variety of abilities from swimmers who have never been in the water to ex-competitive adults who want to start swimming again. 

I truly enjoy this sport and am excited to see what the next term can bring under the guidance of Erika and Matthew!

Hey everyone! My name is Alex and I hope to be your new fitness captain. I grew up on the coast and have loved swimming throughout the majority of my life, either just casually or competitively. As someone who has swam their whole life, I would love to show everybody just how fun and calming swimming can be. While I say this, I have many friends and family who struggle to or cannot swim, so I also understand how tough it can be to start swimming or learn a new stroke when you don't know anything about the technique, but I will do everything I can to help that learning process.

On the whole, I just want everyone to enjoy swimming as much as possible and to have a way to let loose after all their hard work (with some more hard work >:) ), and I think I can achieve that. I hope you have a great day and I will see you all at swimming!
