Interesting Colin Fact: Colin appeared on record breakers with Roy Castle as a teenager, setting the record for the fastest time to do 100 eskimo rolls in a kayak. 

LUCY FREEMAN

Lucy heads up the social media and marketing side of things for Swim Secure. She enjoys the work because she gets to see how open water swimming is enjoyed by so many people around  the world, and finds interacting with such a diverse group of swimmers up-lifting.

When not spreading the word on the socials Lucy enjoys cycling, walking, skiing, scuba diving, travelling and socialising. However, this is easier said than done when a lot of time is spent ferrying her two children around to their numerous sports fixtures.

Interesting Lucy Fact: Lucy can complete the After Eight Challenge in ten seconds.

PRISCILLA PUGA

Priscilla is our Warehouse Manager and loves that her job is so active, with no two hours – let alone two days – the same.

She finds the open water swimming community very welcoming, although being from Ecuador originally she is constantly bemused as to how people can enjoy swimming in the cold British water.

Interesting Priscilla Fact: The word “Priscilled” has passed into office vocabulary meaning something that was once a mess but has been tidied beyond all recognition.

TOM TYRRELL

Tom works as our warehouse operative and deals with the daily fulfillment for Swim Secure. He finds his role very rewarding and enjoys working with his friendly colleagues. Tom also likes the physical aspect of the job and that he is always busy with different tasks. 

When Tom isn't picking and packing orders, he enjoys playing sports, travelling and spending time with his friends and family. 

Interesting Tom Fact: Tom has visited the Statue of Liberty....twice!
