Our guest this episode is Angela Wilson, Founder and CEO of the Angela’s Swim School franchise.

Angela is a successful entrepreneur who started her career as a competitive swimmer. Her elite international swimming career saw her competing at the highest levels from the age of 5.

She competed in the World, European and Commonwealth games, narrowly missing out on a chance to compete at the Olympics.

When her swimming career ended, she used that same passion for swimming to begin teaching swimming lessons.

This signaled the beginning of the road to the development of Angela’s Swim School for children and adults.

During the episode we hear how Angela refocused her experience and drive, and created her own program of swimming training, the basis of building her franchise network across the south of England.
