ANNE BICKMORE

When her children were small, Anne was elected to serve on the local council in the early '80's and became a School Governor as a result. The school needed a lifeguard, so she decided to update her life saving qualification and then went on to qualify as a swimming teacher. In 1983 Anne found employment as a lifeguard with the local authority, continued teacher training and became a Tutor by 1988. She set up own business in 1989.Twenty years later Anne is still running the business as well as teaching in schools. Anne is qualifed to teach aquafit, disabilities, diving, synchro, water polo and adult & child water activiites. She also teaches life saving and keeps the staff's qualifications up to date. She also holds a First Aid certificate. In 1997 Anne gained her Exercise to Music certificate and in 1998 qualified in Sports Massage. In her spare time she runs the abcfund, is a trained Health Walk Leader and swims around 2000m most mornings. Bike riding skills are improving!

SALLY EVANS

A very experienced teacher who has a successful track record, particularly the beginners. Sally started with us in 1997 as an assistant teacher. We finally managed to persuade her to take a full teacher's certificate in 2005 which she passed with flying colours (we knew she would). Sally teaches swimming in schools, clubs and a local leisure centre. That is when she is not child minding or doing the books of her husband's business.

CHRIS HOGBEN

Came to us in 2005 as a fully qualified swimming teacher and coach. He teaches for a club and a local leisure centre in his spare time as well as looking after his son. He works full time as a teaching assistant at a secondary school.
