Director & Co-Founder
Swimming has always been part of my life from a very young age and continues to be so in my career. I have over 10 years’ experience of being both a swimming and football coach at a number of prestigious private health clubs across Central and South West London. In 2007 I joined the Riverside Health Club in Chiswick as a swimming coach and progressed to co-ordinating the swimming programme for over 1000 children – the UK’s largest private swimming school. The experience I gained was invaluable, and together with my early swimming exposure, underpinned my drive to be the co-founder of one of the fastest growing swimming schools in the South East.
Both myself and my colleague Christian Kenny began to notice the increasing demand from clients for high quality lessons without being required to pay hefty membership fees. Together we started Sports Generation to meet that demand and we haven’t looked back.
Teaching children to swim over the last 10 years and now building and developing a successful swimming company is a source of immense personal pride. Directing the Sports Generation programme gives me the same buzz today as it did in 2012 when the company was created.
