Head of Rookies – Nikki Ealey

Posted on: 12th September 2025

Nikki has been a member of BSSC in various capacities since she was around 8 years old. She first started coaching for Bishop’s Stortford nearly 15 years ago while she was still a swimmer. At that time she coached our younger swimmers for a few years as well as teaching for BSSC Learn to Swim for much of that time. Nikki took a step back from coaching when she went to university but always kept her toes dipped in with our Learn to Swim and the club. As soon as she finished her undergraduate degree and moved back to Stortford, she came back to teaching with LTS permanently and then took over as Head of Swimming in 2021.

Nikki has recently returned to coaching and is particularly enjoying working with our young Rookies as they make the challenging but exciting transition from lessons to club swimming.

Outside of the club Nikki is a solicitor with a local law firm, volunteers for two water rescue charities, and tries to swim or row when she can find the time. Nikki can often be seen around and about in Bishop’s Stortford so if you ever see her, feel free to say hi!
