Guy Metcalf
Guy has spent a number of years working in sports coaching and as the RNLI Lifeguard Supervisor when they first managed the beaches in Norfolk, UK, before having a change of career and going back to university. After a number of years, realising he missed the world of sport and events, he set up his own event management company organising multi-sport events and open water swims.
Now a coach for his club, he loves to coach both children and adults to a high level in the pool as well as helping people experience and learn the joys of open water swimming.
Swimming has always been one of life’s passions for me. Seeing it from every angle, life skill, competition, water safety, rehabilitation as well as pure enjoyment, I’ve been fortunate to be able to coach people through all of these aspects. When you can be at one with the water, the pleasure you can get from competing, achieving a distance goal, improving your efficiency, swimming safely or maybe jumping into icy water for the first time at the cold water swimming champs, every time it’s a joyful experience, and one which everyone should try.
