I learned to swim at the age of 38. Before that I was not comfortable in or around open water. I finally plucked up the nerve to get a swimming coach and fell in love with it. It gives me a lot of peace and stress relief. I completed an Ironman 70.3 a year after starting coaching and felt very confident swimming in the ocean. I believe strongly in ensuring that as many children and adults as possible can enjoy water in a confident and safe way.
