Mark Goggins

Mark originally started swimming competitively around the age of 9 years old for Coventry City Swimming Club. His belief is that swimming helped him through his GCSE's, by switching off from the pressures of the curricular studies but also gave him the skills to work under stresses when needed.  This is still valid for all our young athletes today; with one of the best life skills ever! 

Mark started poolside & coaching in 2017 completing both Coaching Level 1 & 2  Qualifications, helping develop our youngest swimmers  through to County, Regional & National Athletes.
