SUCCESS STORIES
• LUCY CARTER
Lucy Carter joined Everyone Active Westcroft Leisure Centre in2015 as an aquatic apprentice. |
“I’ve been swimming from a
young age and when looking fora career I knew I wanted to work
in fitness and teach children: mymum’s a swimming teacher and
has always enjoyed her job.
After completing myLevel 1 ASA qualification, I
joined Westcroft Leisure Centreas an Aquatic Apprentice.
This enabled me to gain my
Level 2 and meant I could startteaching my own classes, which
is something I really enjoy.
I teach the same children everyweek and can really see their
progress. Myown confidence
has grown inthe role too and
I’ve completed additional CPDcourses alongside my swimming
teaching. I’ve also been able toqualify as a lifeguard.
Th is month I finished my
apprenticeship and have takenup a new role managing school
swimming lessons.
I love being part of theEveryone Active team – it
feels like a family, with areally supportive and friendly
environment. Working withexperienced teachers means I’m
learning and growing.”
• LISA REEDER
Lisa Reeder has progressed fromswimming teacher to regional swim impact manager atSpelthorne Leisure Centre. |
“Seeing my own children
enjoying swimming lessonsinspired me to train as a teacher.
I completed Level 1 and 2 ASA
qualifications in 2006 and joinedEveryone Active part-time.
I also took on an admin role
managing school swimminglessons and enjoyed it so much
I applied to become a swimmanager. From there I was
promoted to regional swimimpact manager.
Th is involves managing 25
teachers, 1,800 children and15 schools, so
there’s lots oforganisation
required!
Being dyslexic hasn’t held meback and Everyone Active has
been supportive with training.
I still teach one?to?onesessions for children with
special needs on Sundays andseeing them lose their nerves
and go home with a smile ontheir face is hugely rewarding.
It’s also important I look aft er
my team, making sure theyprogress and develop their skills
to ensure they deliver the highstandard of teaching we need
for our Swim School.”

seemed the perfect role.
I joined Everyone Activeas a lifeguard, then took my

was determined to make themost of the opportunity!
