A bit about me
I started as a teacher at Cindy’s Swim School in 2014 while completing my A-levels, and since then I’ve not been able to leave their phenomenal atmosphere regardless of my path in life. I competed regionally in swimming so if you see me in the pool, I promise I know what I’m talking about.
Inspiration
There’s nothing that beats the feeling of being a part of a child’s swim journey, helping and encouraging them progress to be the best swimmers they can be.
What I do
After completing my university degree in Banking and Finance and accumulating managerial experience, I took on a management and finance officer role within the company.
