Richard

I’ve been a recreational swimmer all my life and love being in the water. I want to share that experience with others.

I love to teach adults how to relax and feel confident in the water so that they can swim safely and confidently and enjoy the water like I do. Swimming is such an important life skill especially in Australia, and I love helping people in their journey to achieve that life skill.

In previous lives I’ve been an oven cleaner, a tram conductor and a university lecturer.
