Emma Tugby

Background

I have always been interested in sport and physical activity which is the basis of my career. Starting as a lifeguard while at sixth form, I then took my Level 1 and 2 in Swimming Teaching. I then completed a BSC (Hons) degree in Sports Development and Coaching Sciences, from there I went onto be a Swimming Development Manager and then Health & Physical Activity Manager. I became a RLSS tutor assessor and enjoyed this so much I then became a tutor for the STA, then Swim England.

Krystal Buckley

Background

Coming from a family of swimmers and swimming teachers I have always had a passion for swimming, I started out as a club swimmer as a child and young adult before moving into the great outdoors into open water swimming.

I started my career in aquatics as an assistant swimming teacher when I was 16 and still in school then gained my full level 2 qualification as I turned 18. This gives me over 20 years experience in teaching everyone from the babies to adults, club swimmers, waterpolo, water safety, open water & triathlon skills, mermaid school and developing experienced teachers.

Within aquatics I have also held the role of Swimming development manager, regional swim manager and national swim manager so really love getting involved with developing swim programmes to maximise opportunities for swimming lessons within centres.
