As the diving program manager I started the Diving school in March 2010 and, building from nothing, gained 100 participants in the space of 4 months. This was achieved through targeted advertising and promotion, both in-house and at local events, with little to no budget. I would track KIP's to make sure the program remained profitable and employed a second coach when it became financially viable. I devised and implemented the teaching syllabus and was responsible for the allocation of pool time and keeping class registers up to date. At the end of each term I would test and promote students and move them to their relevant level of class. This me gave the opportunity to earn move revenue through the sale of badges and certificates.Working as a diving coach I would work with the divers to safely progress their skills for the sport as well as completing their dry land training plan. I would attend competitions with my squad, achieving many podium places over the years. I developed my squad from Novice level competition through to national age group level.
