Academy Team
Dave LoweI have been involved in swimming pretty much all of my life. Initially as a competitive swimmer I then moved to the teaching and coaching side of the sport. I hold Level 1 teaching and Level 2 coaching qualifications. I have coached at AVSC on an almost daily basis for many years and also teach a wide range of swimmers with Abingdon Dolphins Swim Club.
I believe that excellent technique is fundamental to excellence in swimming and will encourage andmotivate my swimmers to aim high in order to help them achieve their full potential. |
Emily LawlorSwimming has always been a big part of my life whether it be for fitness, water sports, competition, mental health or fun. I started teaching in 2008 and have since taught a range of ages from baby swimming all the way through to adults learning to swim. I currently hold Level 1 and Level 2 teaching qualifications. I started coaching AVSC’s Academy 3 on Saturdays in 2022.
My sessions focus on technique and strategies to help the children implement coaching points. I believe that to be a great swimmer, strong foundations are key and I encourage the swimmers to think and feel as they swim, helping them to self-analyse and reflect on their stroke whilst they are in the pool. |
