Growing up in a family whose second home is Brixham Swimming club in Devon – they even helped build the pool – Josh spent his childhood in a poolside environment both training and volunteering and now spends more time than ever pursuing his swimming passion! In fact, Josh recently took the opportunity to visit the Northern Arena in Auckland, New Zealand, for four months whereby he gained valuable teaching experience under the tutelage of former Olympic swimmer Dean Kent. Clearly still eager to pursue his own swimming experiences and develop his teaching knowledge, it is no surprise that he makes the setting for every swimming lesson as welcoming and engaging as possible. He enjoys developing stroke technique and building stamina with the pupils of the higher levels as much as he does teaching the little Frogs and Seals. Big smiles and lots of encouragement are massively important componants of Josh's swimming lessons.
