Our Head Coach is a fully qualified teacher and our assistant coach is qualified to Level 2 and WPC level 4.

Team Ethos

The coaching staff and team are committed to helping every swimmer in the team to reach their maximum potential.
We believe this can be achieved for a wide range of ages and ability levels.
Our top squad swimmers take time out of their training schedules when suitable to mentor our intermediate and development swimmers.

 

The Team Name ‘Scorpions’

The team was named ‘Scorpions’ for several reasons and various individuals have asked why we chose a non-swimming animal.  The beauty of this is that we as a coaching team believe that anyone can be taught to swim and compete at various levels.  In addition the founding members chose a menacing Scorpion, and it looks brilliant as a white logo against the black on the team caps.
