About Us

The Coventry programme was the first scheme in Britain to employ a full time Director of Coaching. The first appointment was Hamilton Bland, who was the Great Britain Olympic Coach. The current Senior Management Team comprises; Jo Deakins (Head of Aquatics) & Sarah Ruckwood (Head of Operations). Both Jo & Sarah are former Olympians and their vast experience in the sport makes for a strong Leadership Team.

The scheme has produced numerous successes at National and International level and continues to do so today.

The scheme is a self-financing structure, receiving no direct monetary support from the City Council or other agencies. We do however, enjoy a close and positive relationship with the Local Authority & CV Life. This is reflected in the encouragement given to talented swimmers progressing from CV Lifes Aquarius Learn to Swim Scheme and various other Learn to Swim Programme & Schools around the City to develop their swimming further in our Coaching Programme. 

The revenue to run our Coaching Scheme is generated by:
1. Monthly billing of Club members
2. The promotion of Open Meet competitions.
3. Fund raising by training squad members and families
4. Donation from Coventry Swim School
5. Regular Holiday Swim Camps
6. Underwater filming & 121 sessions (to come in 2025)
