Graeme Swatton

Graeme Swatton
Development Director
STA Tutor, NaRS Tutor, FAW Tutor, Aquacise Tutor, 1st4sport level 1 Football, 1st4sport level 1 Rugby

Graeme learnt to swim at the age of 6 months and represented East Dorset and Millfield with distinction. He went on to win the Speedo League Improver of the Year before turning his hand to rugby and touring South Africa becoming a member of the only team to come back undefeated from the rainbow state in the World Cup year. That same year he was also selected for county football trials with Somerset. Some years on he is now Managing Director of developments in Antigua and is looking to build the Swalings Sports Shack on the Island. Plans are being drawn up which will enable a number of different sports to take place and this new business arm will be under his wing. As well as the impressive array of qualifications already listed he is a qualified Snowboard Instructor level 2, a First Aid Tutor and in charge of the family’s expanding property portfolio. His boundless energy and desire to succeed is sometimes at odds with the pace of Island Life!

Duncan Swatton

Director Swalings Soccer
FAW Tutor, Aquacise Tutor, 1st4sport level 1 Football, 1st4sport level 1 Rugby, Volleyball 1

Duncan is another who has been swimming since 6 months old and has proved himself to be proficient in many other sports. He coaches in Football, Rugby, Volleyball and Snowboarding as well as Swimming. He is in charge of the First Aid training in Antigua and teaches Water Aerobics. He has helped teach at Swalings in the UK since he was 10 and always felt destined to play a part in the business. With his brother William he is heading up a snowboarding programme where clients are taken to the snow and some sponsorship of underprivileged children will allow them to take part. He is also involved in a gap scheme bringing students to the Island to qualify in teaching. They spend one month qualifying and then have two months of teaching. It is this sort of enterprise that has seen the Swalings name go from strength to strength.

William Swatton

William Swatton
Swimming Instructor
FAW Tutor, Aquacise Tutor, 1st4sport level 1 Football, 1st4sport level 1 Rugby

William has a great love of the water and has played Octopush (underwater hockey) and water polo whilst at school. He is a fantastic chef and plans all the menus and does the cooking for all the franchisees and the Swalings team in Antigua. Healthy, nutritional food that he enjoys cooking is served, with the aim that no one leaves the meal feeling hungry! He has been to Switzerland almost every year since birth and was talked into trying his hand at Snowboarding. Much to the tongue in cheek annoyance of the rest of the family he has turned out to be the best at this particular sport and is a freestyle instructor, doing all those amazing tricks you may have seen on TV. With the lack of snow in Antigua, William has taken to wakeboarding, being towed behind a boat, to keep the adrenalin pumping. Rugby, Football and Cricket complete this all rounder’s portfolio.
