He is still coaching 4 nights a week and is as involved now as he has ever been.
In 2002 he was recognised by the Royal Life Saving Society for amassing more than 20 years’ service, and in 2005/06 he became only the second individual from Penrith to be President of the Cumbria Amateur Swimming Association, he remains involved with the association to this day.
