Ivan Colton
Coach
Like many people my route into becoming involved with swimming started by helping out on poolside at my daughters local swimming club. I soon found out that I enjoyed being on poolside and decided to take coaching qualifications, tutored by Bill Furniss, to assist me in helping swimmers achieve their potential. I am also a great believer in tapping into the knowledge of other coaches and how this may help my development and the experience of the swimmers I coach. As they say, every day is a school day.
If you asked me my coaching style I would say firm with a soft edge in one corner. I believe that all swimmers have untapped potential and it is my role to help them unlock that potential through the program I develop and deliver throughout the year and beyond.
As for my personal passions I would have to say a love of running. A leisurely run is a great way to mull things over and clear the mind.
