Coach Gary
I competed in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul representing Canada and coached in the 2000 and 2004 Olympics for Great Britain. I have a degree in History and a minor degree in Psychology from University of Calgary. I have travelled extensively and have been very lucky to see so much of the world while representing Canada and Great Britain at swimming competitions. I am very proud of the fact that I coached a swimmer to become number one in the world in the fastest swimming race in 2002. I pride myself in my ability to find new and interesting ways to teach swimming. I am an accomplished artist specialising in sculpture, I have another blog called 'swimmingart' where I publish some of my swimming drawings. I have three young children; all boys. I have recently taken up painting and yoga....but not at the same time. All of my writing is AI free. I make my own errors and am happy to do that. I am not perfect because being human is not perfect. You can see my carving work at: https://wwwoodart.wordpress.com/2024/03/18/wood-spirit-walking-stick/ And my paintings and drawings at: https://swimmingart.wordpress.com
