The people behind LBHSC.

I've been involved in the sport of swimming since the age of six. I progressed from a non-swimmer to national finalist and medallist as an age-group, youth and senior swimmer, as well as a member of the GB team. My ethos is dedication, resilience, self-motivation, teamwork and striving to be the best version of oneself. I believe anyone in our community should be given the opportunity to learn to swim and gain essential water safety skills, leading to becoming a successful competitive swimmer if they wish, regardless of their socio-economic background, ethnicity, gender or identity. I coach because I enjoy engaging with young people, supporting them to fulfil their maximum potential and being part of their swimming journey.

Swimming has been a huge part of my life. During my competitive career in Poland, I became a multiple national gold medallist in relay events, ranked in the top five nationally in the 800m freestyle, and achieved top-ten rankings in other events. After moving to England, I found a new opportunity to pursue my passion as a swimming instructor and assistant coach. I love being part of a club environment, sharing my experience, and helping young swimmers develop their skills, confidence, and potential. My goal is to inspire every swimmer to become the best version of themselves, grow as athletes, and develop a lifelong passion for swimming.

I have been a swimmer at LBHSC since 2019 and have competed since 2021. During that time, I have progressed to national level, competing across England and internationally in Bulgaria, while also earning Regional and County medals. As I have developed as a swimmer, I have found it rewarding to pass on the knowledge and experience I have gained by helping to coach younger swimmers and supporting them as they build their skills and confidence.

I have been connected to LBHSC, the Hurricanes, for 13 years as a parent, volunteer and now as a coach. Our small club gives us the opportunity to really get to know all our swimmers. I am very excited to return and encourage our members to enjoy their time in the water again.

I have been involved in swimming since childhood and was selected for the Tunisian National Team as a breaststroke swimmer. I joined LBHSC as an instructor in 2021, when my niece was a competitive swimmer. My daughter was also a Trustee at the club. As a family, we are passionate about swimming and believe every young person should have the opportunity to take part. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience with our athletes and watching them thrive at the club.

I was previously a swimmer at LBHSC for around eight years. I joined the club as a child and competed for several years before completing my swimming teaching qualification through the club. I have now been teaching for three years. I teach swimmers across all stages, from our Learn to Swim programme and disability swimming lessons through to club-level swimmers. I love teaching and working with children to build their confidence and help them grow, both as swimmers and as individuals.

I have been a swimmer at LBHSC since 2016, competing at County and Regional level and representing Hounslow twice at the London Youth Games. With the support and encouragement I received from the coaches, I decided to give back by becoming a swimming teacher at the club and helping younger swimmers achieve their goals.

I hold SEQ Level 1 and Level 2 Swimming Teacher qualifications, as well as safeguarding and NRASTC certificates. I was a competitive swimmer at LBHSC for eight years and competed at the Middlesex County Championships and London Regionals. I also represented Hounslow at the London Youth Games three times and received a Jack Petchey Award. Swimming has taught me discipline and opened many new doors, including joining a rowing club and competing at the British Rowing Championships in Nottingham in 2022. I decided to become a Level 2 Swimming Teacher at LBHSC because I want to share my knowledge and passion for swimming. Swimming is an amazing sport and a fundamental skill that I believe everybody needs. I love seeing swimmers improve and reach their targets.
