The Swim England Hertfordshire President for 2024-25 is Greg Coe.
Hello everyone!
I’ve been involved in swimming for many years. Back in 2000/2001 my eldest son and two daughters swam at Enfield Swimming Club. I didn’t officiate back then, but had a big interest in swimming.
Then my youngest son started swimming at an early age, and he joined Enfield Swimming Club when he was four (2008). He was a much better swimmer than our other three children and progressed quickly.
We moved to Cheshunt Swimming Club when he was seven, and he competed at County Championships when he was nine, and National Open Water when he was thirteen.
By this time, I had started to take an interest in the officiating side, and started off being a timekeeper. I quickly progressed on to J1 and J2, and am now J2S and able to referee at Level 4 meets. I also do a lot of mentoring on poolside, and enjoy the camaraderie of our ‘officiating family’!
I’m looking forward to the coming year, attending as many different aquatic disciplines as I can and hopefully sharing some of my knowledge along the way!
Greg Coe
