“Coaching Conversations” are a series of podcasts being brought to you as BSCA members. It’s essentially swimming coaches, talking to swimming coaches about swimming coaching (sound familiar??). More are in the pipeline and we look forward to hearing from you about who you would like to hear from and what topics you’d like us to cover – we’ll do our best to oblige! So sit back, listen & enjoy.

Podcast 1 – Nathan Hilton (AquaticsGB)

This podcast touches upon Nathan’s recent sojourn to Paris for the 2024 Olympic Open Water events, but primarily deals with the development of his career to get to the point where he was in such a position.

From small clubs, to regional hub to large national programme and then working for the NGB. He discusses what he had to do to develop such programmes at each stage, the challenges he faced and how he overcame them. It is a tantalising glimpse into the hurdles & pitfalls that every successful coach has to overcome to become an achiever in their sport. Good job Nathan!
