Meet the club welfare officer

Meet the club welfare officer…..

My name is Adrian and I am the Welfare Officer for Kingfishers Swimming Club. I have been involved in this role for just over 3 years. Previous to that I was just a happy grandparent sat on the balcony cooking alive watching my grandson swim.

I was originally born in Nottingham but landed in Scarborough around 1993 having moved down from Edinburgh. I have lived in a variety of areas including Cumbria, West Yorkshire and Wiltshire.

I have one son who has recently moved to live in New Zealand and 4 grandchildren 2 that currently swim for Kingfishers and one that is desperate to join when he is old enough. My 4th grandchild lives in Bangkok so a long way to come for a Wednesday night session.
