Academy  Lead  Coach  -  Beth  Costello

Picture
I have been actively involved with AVSC as a committee member and poolside helper since 2005, and with the academy for the past 6 years.  All three of my children have swum with AVSC; my oldest, Sam, swum and coached from the age of 8 till he went to University but is still involved when he is home for the holidays. My middle child, Kate, swam for 8 years and my youngest, Emma, swims in Performance Squad. I work fulltime as a special needs teaching assistant in a primary school and teach swimming in various local swim schools. Currently I coach all the squads in the club apart from Performance Squad and have coached at some point every swimmer currently at AVSC!

I am a L1&2 teacher and coach. I will coach Rio on a Saturday morning and Monday and Wednesday evenings,and Beijing on Monday and Thursday evenings.

Sydney Coach - Janet Hudson

I have 15 years experience coaching children from 7 to 17 with AVSC,  and in varied Learn to swim and school swimming programmes.  I have been running the Academy since 2007 and have seen many children go on to success in the Club and beyond.  I have also been on the other side as an AVSC parent.

Beijing  Coach  -  Dave  Lowe

Picture
I 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 and motivate my swimmers to aim high in order to help them achieve their full potential.

Athens  Coach  -  Zoe  Day

Picture
I am a Level 2 ASA qualified swimming teacher and have been teaching in Oxfordshire since 2003.  I am a full time swimming teacher and work from a number of pools in and around Abingdon and Oxford.  As well as working for the Abingdon Vale Swimming Club I also work for Oxford county council and teach at clubs based from Radley College, Marston Ferry and the Vale of White Horse Leisure Centre. I am married to Peter and have three daughters, all of whom are good keen swimmers.
