Our Coaching Team
-
Lisa
I have swum with the club since I was child, which lead to me to representing Great Britain in the Olympics and European championships. I still train and compete with the masters squad.
I recently passed my Level 3 coaching qualification and was accepted onto the Swim England Senior Coach programme. I’m focussed on putting the child before the swimmer and ensuring everyone reaches their full potential.

Callum
I’ve been swimming at the club since the age of 10, and it appears I’m destined to be here for a few more to come. I am currently positioned as the Head Teacher and one of the squad coaches.
I’m loving every minute of being able to give back to this club which has given me so much. I look forward to spending the foreseeable future working together with our collection of teachers/coaches to move the club forward.

Sam
I am a qualified Level 2 Coach, Level 2 Teacher and Team Manager.
I love coaching. The fun, determination, achievements and the journey the swimmers go on is truly inspiring and I love being a part of that and helping with the highs, lows and dreams. I enjoy every moment and try to make a difference, through support, guidance, vision and enjoyment.
I became a coach as I have a background in sport, learning, development and change. As a parent at the club I felt I could help shape the future, even just a little, while supporting my own children as swimmers. I have now been a part of HSSC for 15+ years and I love it!

I enjoy watching my swimmers progress and being part of their swimming journey.
