Simon King – Youth Training Lead
Stuart Ward – Head Teacher
Pauline Draper / Carolyn Heeley – Disability swimming
Pauline Draper: As a paediatric physiotherapist at Chailey Heritage and a swimming teacher with Burgess Hill & District SC, I was able to combine the experiences gained in both to help set up the Dolphins Squad back in September 2000. The motivation came from wanting to help those with disabilities reach their full potential in swimming, and it has been wonderful to see how the swimmers have developed over the years. One or two from the squad have reached National level but there have been others who have achieved just as much by learning to swim independently, having previously needed support from people or flotation aids. Retirement from Chailey looms but I shall continue to be involved with Dolphins for as long as I can.
