Coaches

Team GCSC has the dedication and commitment of a wonderful coaching team, who are able to draw upon their own experience to develop and inspire our swimmers.

They are assisted by some of our young people (all dedicated swimmers themselves) and Volunteer Coach Assistants who give up their time to work alongside the coaches and develop their own experience of coaching. Their contribution is significant and greatly appreciated.
