Jo started as a Swimming Instructor with Castlepoint Leisure in 2016 following a maternity leave break and a previous career as an HR Manager.  Jo ran many successful classes of all levels and took over as the Swim Academy Manager in October 2021.

Jo manages the team of 29 swimming instructors and develops the swim programme in line with the needs of our community and is most proud of the strategic recruitment and training that has taken place in the last year to grow our swim school and increase the offering to the people that need it most.  Jo still enjoys teaching and is very passionate about safety and having fun and can be regularly seen on poolside.
