Head Coach
Hi all, my name is Adam Spencer and i am head coach of Wells and Shepton Mallet, I joined the club in March 2011 and have a huge drive to push the club forward. I began swimming myself by going through the ASA National Plan and followed up the stages until i reached competition level. I began competition swimming in Frome swimming club, then moved up North to Harrogate Swimming club where i started competing in County Swimming. I then moved overseas and swam in Singapore for 4 years at which point i started to get interested in Coaching, on returning to the U.K i joined Cheddar Swimming Club and began my coaching career by doing Level 1, then Level 2 and finally taking on the Level 3 Coach's qualification.
In addition to swimming coaching I am also a Personal Trainer and exercise class instructor mainly based at Wells Leisure Centre, where most swimmers may recognise me from as I teach there in the National Teaching Plan Scheme. I also do Personal Training outside the centre and run a company called South West Personal Trainers. I hope to bring Land Based training over to Wells and Shepton Mallet swimming club in the near future as this will help develop the swimming team's fitness levels and target the muscles/respiratory system in a different way compared to using the pool.
Within the next few years i hope to increase the standard of swimmers coming through the club in both technique and also speed. I hope to also increase the number of competitions the club participats in not just for our county swimmers but also for the younger ones coming through by taking part in more fun compeititons with local clubs.
If you need to contact me feel free to send me an email on adam@southwestpersonaltrainers.com or give me a call on 07746445674 or 01749 678689
Kind regards,
Adam
