THE town’s libraries, Orford Jubilee Park and Birchwood Leisure Centre are just a handful of the facilities run by LiveWire. In our weekly Humans of Warrington, we get to know the staff who work behind the scenes.
Name: Susan Routledge
Age: 54
Job: Swimming teacher
"Every day is different in this job. I have been teaching swimming for 26 years and you meet new people every day so it is never boring.
"I have always enjoyed swimming and I used to swim competitively for Warrington Warriors when I was younger.
"Becoming a teacher was a great way to give back and pass on the knowledge I have built up over the years.
"You never know what to expect when you are on the poolside and that's one of the reasons I have been teaching all these years.
"People say I have the best job in the world and I would agree.
"It is very rewarding to see the children progress
"Just last weekend a young boy gave me a bunch of flowers to say thank you.
"I had been teaching him for two years and he has done so well.
"When the children enter the pool they are quite nervous at first but they soon forget about the nerves and start to enjoy it."
