Head Coach at Yellow Fin Swimming Club

About Me

Coach in one of the remotest places in the world which produces many unique challenges. Here are three unique ones:
1. The island has one open air 33.33 m unheated swimming pool which we share with the public most of the time!
2. The minimum cost to attend any competition is at least £1200 per swimmer!
3. Due to the cost of competitions most of our swimmers have only ever done one competition before they swim at the Commonwealth Games.
