Murray McDermott

I am a Level 2 swimming teacher with over 12 years of experience, specializing in a wide range of programs, including National Curriculum school swimming and Swim England Level 2S lessons. In addition to my teaching role, I serve as a Level 2 coach, training competitive swimmers at the Learning to Train stage of the Athlete Development Support Pathway (ADSP) framework.

I am passionate about teaching children at all stages of their swimming journey, fostering their water confidence and helping them progress toward becoming accomplished swimmers. My aim is to encourage long-term participation in the sport, whether that leads to competitive swimming or water polo.

I firmly believe that swimming is an essential life skill that all children should acquire, as it is the only sport that can significantly enhance safety and save lives when learned properly.

In my spare time, I am dedicated to fitness, often training in the boxing gym or swimming in the pool. On Saturday afternoons, I enjoy supporting Coventry City at their home games, hoping to witness their promotion.
