I hold my National and FINA Judge, Swim England/IOS Tutor, Level 2 Coach and I am a member of the Swim England Synchro Leadership Team."
Linda Peake
Coach
"My name is Linda Peake and I am one of the coaches at Rugby Synchro. I mainly coach the little ones now, I have been coaching at the club for 20 years. I hold my Level 2 Coaching Certificate and my Level 3 Judge. I really enjoy being a coach as I find it very satisfying to see the girls (tiddlers as I call them) grow from being complete novices of the sport and usually very shy, with absolutely no experience to performing in the bigger competitions, and growing into well adjusted, confident young ladies. I am proud to coach the Nemos as their journey started with me. I also help out with all of the other squads in the club.

I have been coaching at the club for 4 years I hold my Level 2 Coach, Level 1 Teacher in Aquatics and Level 2 Judge.
