About Nick
I have been working at The Junction for over 15 years. Since becoming a lifeguard at the age of 16, I still feel just as passionate for sport now than when I started at the beginning.
I went on to study a modern apprenticeship in Sports & Recreation and completed an NVQ Level 2 & 3. I then qualified as a Full Swimming Teacher and was promoted from Lifeguard to Duty Manager with my main area of responsibility being the running of the Swimming Pool and Swimming Lesson Co-ordinator. I have gained understanding of experiencing and managing a team.
I can honestly say I very much enjoy my job and enjoy working with my colleagues. I find the Leisure Industry both rewarding and hugely exciting in the sense that this industry is fast changing. I have been teaching since the age of 17 and now have over 15 years experience.
I teach all abilities from babies, school children, adults and special needs children. Having a son myself with Cerebral Palsy I know how important swimming is to a childs development and how it becomes a skill for life.
I believe I bring complete professionalism, patience and passion to my job to achieve excellent teaching results.
I teach both group and private lessons.
