Founder and CEO

There is something about swimming that is so stress relieving, I can't keep myself away from the pool for long. I have swam since I was 7 in a number of clubs and for university.

I found a real lack of masters swimming clubs available and training on my own became unfocused. I was wasting time in the pool and getting bored.

Until I prepared my set and brought it to the pool. I realised I needed to share this with every other swimmer in the world, so I started Scale Swimming and created our waterproof training books.

Do what you love. Work on your passion.

I'm lucky enough to work on mine.

Alex Thurston

Technical Director

Swimming has been part of my life - for all of my life (!) - whether it be in the pool or on poolside. I have coached Nottingham Leander masters for over 10 years and coached the University of Nottingham swimming squad to national success (best result was 4th place at the 2007 British Universities National Short Course Championships, behind 3 National Performance Centres). For the 10 years I coached the Uni of Nottingham swim team (where I met Jonathan!), we won every single Varsity competition!

I completed my PhD at Loughborough University (ranked no.1 for sport-related subjects in the world for the third consecutive year in 2019) and I'm currently a sport management Teaching Fellow at the university. ​I enjoy swimming open water as well as in the pool. In 2016, I became double European masters champion in the pool, then, later that year, completed a two-way Channel relay swim. I also currently hold British, European and World masters swimming records.
