Bridget Trefgarne
As a youngster, Bridget swam competitively for Zimbabwe at regional and international level. She took her teaching qualifications in 2003, and has worked predominantly for Chelsea and Westminster, before more recently joining Barnes Swimming Club. Bridget enjoys watching the children progress up the club ladder as they improve their technique, stamina and confidence. She also believes it’s a valuable counter balance for intensive periods spent in the classroom – and a skill to be enjoyed throughout all stages of life.

Dovile Sudeikyte
Dovile spent 12 years swimming competitively, the highlight of which was attending the Lithuanian national team championships. She can never spend too much time away from the water, so she was also part of the Lithuanian national sprint canoeing (kayak) team! There she participated in a number of championships worldwide and became a Lithuanian canoe sprint champion.
Being very active and interested in sports led Dovile to take a degree in Physical Education. In 2015 she graduated from Lithuanian University of Educational Sciences. She then continued her education in London, and in 2017 she completed a master’s degree in Exercise Physiology. All the while, keeping up with her training and swimming.
