WELCOME TO TAUNTON SCHOOL SWIM SCHOOL

Hi, I’m Val, Swim School & Sports Club Manager. I have worked in the leisure industry since qualifying as a Level 1 Swim Teacher at 16 years old. I managed a large swim school for almost 10 years. I am also a qualified PE teacher and have been teaching PE and assisting children with additional needs to learn.

I have taught swimming for over 25 years spanning all levels, ages and abilities. It has always been my passion and even at times when I have been working full time as a teacher, I have always squeezed in some swim teaching as I love watching the progress that swimmers can make through good teaching.

Outside of swimming I am a scout leader which takes me to all sorts of interesting and exciting places. I play rounders and enjoy running and keeping fit. I love outdoor pursuits, from hiking, cycling, paddle-boarding to just enjoying the countryside.

Valerie
