Alison
Swim Teacher

Everyone say hi to Alison. When Alison speaks about her Swimming teaching experience she says it all stems from a mid-life crisis in 2017 – that’s when her career in swimming started. Alison since then has been very busy working for the Department for Education Water Safety, children with disabilities as well as volunteering for the AWSOM Project in Vietnam in January 2020 where she was instructing water safety to Vietnamese children in My Tho City. We are lucky to have her!
