Richy

I got into Swimming at a very young age but did not join any clubs. Instead, I ended up playing water polo whilst in the Royal Navy Reserves. My two sporting loves are surfing and skiing. My main employment is as a secondary school teacher teaching craft, design and technology. I started teaching swimming later in life in 2015 and I am a level 2 teacher. My favourite strokes are front crawl and butterfly, and it gives me an enormous sense of well being seeing kids develop these strokes with confidence. I am also a club coach of water polo at Portobello ASC and have assisted coaching the Under 19 Scotland team up until Covid-19 came along.
