Raw nerves, journeying to Looe and meeting lovely people

My tutor has said to us from the start that the best aspect for her about working in television “is getting to meet amazing people you would otherwise not meet.”
This was proved for us, yesterday afternoon when we had the privilege of interviewing Julie Sammels, her husband Glynn (a coastguard) and the man who saved Julie’s life when she was nine; Kevin Dawes.
A day at the beach which ended in tragedy, claiming the lives of Julie’s mother and younger brother, this was an incredibly challenging subject to talk about and is without a doubt the hardest interview I have conducted so far.
However, all three contributors, were brilliant as well as being welcoming and very generous people. So a huge thank to Julie, Glynn and Kevin; I hope we do your interviews justice and I am positive that your story will provide compelling evidence of the importance of swimming education.
