I am 72 years old and was terrified of water until into my forties. I am a teacher by profession computing and business studies and I semi-retired a few years ago due to illness. With time on my hands I finally decided to beat my fear of water and now thoroughly regret not having done it a long time ago.
<————- This is me on holiday in Tenerife 2003.
Having taken lessons at my local pool I went on to do a specialised swimming course and then took my first teachers certificate after specialist swimming instruction.
My teaching career was quite varied. Having had a fairly traditional 20 year career in computing (programming systems analysis project management consultancy) I switched to teaching first lecturing at Cornwall College to adults and later giving instruction to Special Needs teenagers in Birmingham. From this came a strong belief that most people can achieve whatever they set out to achieve provided they have the proper support and encouragement swimming instruction is no different to anything else in this respect.
Here is Immy’s brother Luke better known as the Bubble. He’s next for the pool!
