Simon

I am Simon Abbott, and I am married and have three kids. I have been a resident of Waltham Forest all my life and use to you used to the pool as a child, standing up on the 5 m plucking the courage to jump off or not. I had been coaching since September 2008. I got involved because I would sit and watch two of my children dive, Bill approached me about coaching so I thought I'm then most sessions and agreed. I now don't get to see my own kids dive because I am so busy coaching. I am only there when I am off shift I work in the printer trade doing 12 hour days one week on and one week off. So I coach on my week off that's why I am not here every Tuesday and Thursday. I also helped at dryland when I'm not at work. My main hobby is old cars. I have two 1950s American cars. Something I no longer get much of a chance to do is to play golf but when I do I play off the handicap of 12. I have enjoyed getting a bit more involved in the diving to help the club.
