About me

Gender Female
Occupation Swimming coach and Mentor
Location Jersey, Channel Islands
Introduction One of 4 children brought up and schooled in Jersey, I have also worked as a Nanny to many children here in Jersey, UK and Vancouver (Canada). I am an English Channel swimmer; I have completed this in 4 different decades of my life - and years - 1975, 1985, 1992 & 2005. I have been teaching swimming for over 40 years and it is most definitely the most rewarding job anyone can have! I not only teach swimming, but now also coach swimmers I have taught to accomplish great personal achievements too - including round Jersey swims and English Channel I have also travelled extensively with and without my husband "Charlie" for swims and also for pleasure and we have many many worldwide friends who we have made through our swimming & sporting careers; Charlie was a swimmer as well(that's how we met!) and who has also run 7 marathons too! We celebrate our silver wedding this year - so looking forward to that.
