Jan has been a member of Penguins for over 30 years. She joined initially as a supportive parent for her children Simon and Claire. She served on the Committee for over 10 years holding a number of senior posts including Club Secretary and Welfare Officer. She also qualified as a Swimming Teacher in 1988 and is now arguably one of the Club's most experienced and respected Teachers. Although her children have long since stopped swimming regularly with the Club, Jan has continued to teach and coach three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

I learned to swim at Marlborough ASA in 1971, when the club operated from the town's open air pool. I operated as a Club Instructor as an young adult as well as competing for the club for several years. I have been a Club committee member for the past two years, supporting various initiatives, most notably the OADF project.
I have continued to be active in swimming for fitness and fun and since retiring early, I have supported the club as a swimming Judge (J2) and as a poolside helper for the Learn to Swim programme. As the Club Instructor qualification is no longer recognised, I have taken the Assistant Coach qualification and by the end of the year, I hope to be a fully qualified Swim coach.
I still swim regularly both in the pool and in open water and am glad that my swimming experience can continue to help the Club as an active volunteer.
