Terry McAvoy

Swim Wild Academy Instructor

Hello! I am from North-West London and have been living in Falmouth since 2020 studying Conservation Biology and Ecology. 

Swimming has been a part of my life for a long time, I swam competitively from 8 years old until I was 17 for Camden Swiss Cottage Swimming Club. This is the same club with whom I started teaching swimming, I volunteered for 2 years before leading my own classes from the age of 16 to 20. During this time I have taught various age ranges from as young as three years old in stage 1 to older classes in stages 8 and running adult classes as well. I am very invested in improving those in my classes and focus particularly on water confidence and technique. After having had a little break from teaching during my studies I am really excited to get back into it!

Qualifications:

I have passed both my ASA teaching qualifications Level one and two. 

Passed various courses in safeguarding and inclusivity.
