Mhairi Love

Founder / Managing Director

Mhairi started swimming later than most as she learned to swim at 19. She made her debut representing Scotland in 2004 where she broke the 200 and 400 front crawl world records.

Qualification for Athens that same year followed where she won 2 silver medals.

After retiring from swimming competitively in 2009, Love 2 Swim was established. We hope that with the leadership of Anthony, our team of teachers can share the knowledge and experience that they all have in teaching an essential life skill.

Anthony Stickland

Head of Swimming Development

Anthony’s passion for swimming began in his teenage years where he represented his local County.

After a motorbike accident at 17 he continued to compete in Paralympic events and represented GB in Arnham and New York Games where he won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and a Bronze. The world records in Hanover followed shortly after.

Anthony was also part of a 6 man relay team who successful swam the English Channel and again achieved a WR for the two way crossing.

Anthony naturally progressed in the world of coaching. Among his highlights have been the 13 world records, 5 Paralympic Gold, 7 Silver and 1 Bronze medal that came from his athletes.
