Age Group Performance 1 Lead Coach
Guy began his coaching career as a
development coach at Enderby Swimming Club in 2006. A successful
swimmer himself, holding multiple county and regional records and
racing in numerous National Age Group, Youth and Senior finals, Guy
brought a lot of knowledge to the table. He quickly moved up to be
their Director of Swimming and then successfully spearheaded the
merger of Enderby SC with Lutterworth SC in August 2011. Since the
merger in 2011, Guy has directed and guided the club team, which
started with 23 hours of pool time, and just over 200 athletes, to
a fully formed 300+ member Development Programme. This Programme
can now offer it's athletes 44 hours of pool time and the
opportunity to develop from the first strokes out of learn to swim,
all the way through to National level competitions.
Since Leicester Shark's inception,
Guy has coached athletes from their first competitions, through
county championships and onto Regional and National finals. In
2016, he developed his young athletes to a point where he coached a
swimmer to two National medals and a place on the second phase of
the National Pathway Programme. He has consistently coached
Regional Champions every year since 2014, as well as multiple
Regional medalists and finalists.
Under his charge, The Junior
League team at Leicester Sharks CSC have made the regional final
for each of the last 6 years, qualifying for the semi final for the
last 3 years, and racing the other top 8 teams in the country in
the National Final in 2017. This team has gone from strength to
strength under his guidance and really shows the attention to
detail our young athletes are handed when they first join the club.
There has been a similar improvement as those athletes have
filtered through into our Senior Arena League team, with the team
qualifying for the area final for the last two years, narrowly
missing out on qualification for the National Final in 2017, as
they finished in 3rd place.
Guy has always been ambitious and
his dedication and determination to push this club forward
continues to have a positive impact on our members and ensure we
have a lot to look forward to at Leicester Sharks CSC in the
future.
