My name is Benjamin Roberts and I live in a small village in South Wales with my amazing wife, my two wonderful step children and our gorgeous little baby called Oscar. By day I am a school teacher of children with additional learning needs at a local high school and by night I am a swimming instructor. My perfect family combined with my two dream jobs means that life is great!

I have been a swimming instructor for the past seventeen years and have loved every minute of it. I have been fortunate enough to not only have successfully taught thousands of children and adults to swim but have taught them all to swim well. I strongly believe that all children must learn to swim. It is after all a life skill and not just a hobby. I agree that all children should spend their free time taking part in a variety of sports and activities such as football, drama classes and so forth but teaching a child to swim and helping them to have a better understanding of the dangers that water presents could potentially save their life and the lives of others.   [dropshadowbox align=”right” effect=”lifted-both” width=”250px” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]”I have been a swimming instructor for the past seventeen years and have loved every minute of it.”[/dropshadowbox]
