The Joy of University Swimming with GARY HUMPAGE

This week on the Propulsion Swimming Podcast, we are speaking to the head coach of the University of Birmingham Swimming Club, Gary Humpage.
Gary has been leading the University swimming program at Birmingham for 26 years and has seen it grow from 30 members in 1996 to 160 swimmers today. With swimmers competing at an international level, such as Ollie Morgan, to those learning to tumble turn for the first time, the swimming club is finding a wide range of success at all levels of the sport!
We speak with Gary about why universities in the UK are doing such a great job at keeping senior swimmers in the sport for longer than ever before, and why respect, ownership, and enjoyment are helping the University of Birmingham Swimming Squad reach new levels of success.

I joined Gary back in around 2013/2014 and he is a very good coach and great guy to go with it. I really enjoyed my time with him, I wasn’t a university swimmer at the time I was just there to train and compete with masters and I was welcomed with open arms and supported like everyone else around
