Hannah
Having grown up with a family heavily involved in my local swimming club, swimming has always played a huge part in my life. As a young child I competed in lots of different swimming galas and competitions until I was approached and asked to give Biathlons a try (running and swimming). After my first competition I was hooked and it was from then that I slowly began training for Modern Pentathlon (running, swimming, shooting, fencing and horse riding) and after a few years was lucky enough to be asked to join the world class talent programme. I competed in Pentathlon until I was 18 years old until I decided that I wanted to switch my focus into being a PE teacher. 3 years later I started working as a teacher and loved every minute, but definitely missed being involved in the swimming world! So I decided to gain my Level 2 swimming qualification and was able to become part of the Bath School of Swimming community and have enjoyed every minute since. Being able to give back to the sporting world and create opportunities in sport that I was lucky enough to experience is something I am very passionate about!

Nicole
I first learnt to swim at the age of 6 and after many hours and years of training started competing nationally at the age of 14. Since this time I have been involved in coaching and teaching swimming, and I thrive on passing on my love and passion for swimming to those I teach.
I especially enjoy teaching swimmers with special and additional needs. I feel my understanding and humorous approach helps me to gain the trust of even the most nervous children, building their confidence and self belief.
