Izzy Trow » Who’s who

My name is Izzy Trow and I have been swimming with Worcester Swimming Club for 7 years. I started swimming in Skill Progression and now swim in Performance, having worked my way up through the other squads.

For as long as I can remember, swimming has been a very important part of my life. I will be forever grateful to the coaches, swimmers and volunteers who have made my time at Worcester so enjoyable.

For the past few years I have really enjoyed helping coach the Skill Development squad on Friday nights. It has been great to contribute to swimmers’ development, but I have especially found it rewarding to watch the swimmers have fun and form new friendships. It has been really nice to get to know lots of new swimmers and I am looking forward to getting back to it once the pandemic is over.

Worcester Swimming Club has given me many opportunities to try new things, such as open water swimming. It was nice to mix with other squads and experience a different aspect of swimming.

For me, swimming is not always all about winning everything but rather being part of a big family; a family that supports each other through all the ‘ups and downs’. My main aim as Club Captain is to encourage swimmers of all ages to be the best version of themselves; never giving up and persevering with their goals. Whether competing at team galas, or regional competitions, the support of the Worcester Swimming Club community has always lifted my spirit and made me more determined. Now, more than ever, I think it is important to continue this community spirit and come together as a family.

As club captain, I hope that swimmers see me as friendly and approachable, and someone they can chat with at any time. I am very proud to represent such a great group of swimmers, and a club, which has been so important and beneficial to me over the years.
