My name is Joann Baker. I moved to Fermoy 17 years ago. I swam for many years growing up in Douglas and Churchfield swimming pool. Married with two kids, I have always had a love for the sport and I am so proud of my two children who swim competitively for Fermoy Swimming Club. I started to teach the Glofish on Friday nights once my Level 1 Teaching Certificate was completed. Since then I have also completed my Level 2 Teaching along with my Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching qualifications.

My name is Jackie Power born in the U.K. to Fermoy mother and New Zealand father. I was a Secondary School teacher in England.

I also work for Swim Ireland as a Senior Tutor for Coaching and Teaching Aquatics as well as a Child Protection Tutor. I am also on the Education and Development Committee for Swim Ireland.
