City of Oxford’s coach Liz House is retiring after 25 years’ service to the sport.

She began her coaching career at Abingdon Vale Swimming Club before making a switch to Bourne End and finally joining City in 1996.

Over the years, she has fostered the talents of hundreds of youngsters, many who have gone on to compete at national level.

House is disability officer for ONB ASA and was their treasurer for 12 years before that as well as coach to the British Disability team.
