It is with regret that we have to announce that our highly respected and long standing Head Coach, Ken Nesworthy has decided to retire from Club Coaching at the end of this season.

Ken has been with the club over 27 years and seen many swimmers come and go at the club and it wasn’t an easy choice to leave his talented squad, several of which are competing at National, International and Paralympic levels. He will be sincerely missed.

On behalf of South Tyneside Swimming Club we wish him well in his future endeavours and wonder what he will do now there is no more 4am starts for early morning training.

Thanks Coach.
