This summer, Coach Joel Weston will be leaving the club to take on a new professional opportunity.Joel has been an integral part of our programme since January 2023, when he first joined us as a placement student from Salford University. Over the last three and a half years, it has been a pleasure to watch him develop his knowledge, refine his skills, and earn his coaching qualifications within our system. His hard work and dedication led to his well-deserved appointment as Head Development Coach in May 2024.Since taking on that leadership role, Joel has made a tremendous impact. Over the past two years, we have seen significant improvements across the entire development squad—not just in terms of technical progress and results, but also in the positive culture he has fostered among the swimmers. We are incredibly grateful to Joel for his commitment and energy, and while we are sad to see him go, we wish him the absolute best of luck in his next chapter.Life Leisure UK arena UK | Official Distributor Lifeleisure Grand Central University of Salford ...
