Zoe Gray stepped down from coaching with Hearts at the recent Novice Gala.
 
Zoe has been coaching with us for more than four years and has done an excellent job with the many swimmers that have passed through her squads during this time. She has been an outstanding asset of the club and she will be sorely missed, but we must fully accept her reasons for leaving, thank her for all her hard work and wish her all the best for the future.
 
Thanks Zoe, from all of us at Hearts.
