Robert Robson, Psychologist

I'm not really a 'swimming sport psychologist', in that I don't focus exclusively on swimming. I just happen to be a sport psychologist that's been involved with swimming for most of my life, as a swimmer, sometime coach, psychologist and, most recently, as a parent. I thought that I'd share with you the path that I've taken to creating SwimPsych.com. I live in theUK, where I am a Chartered Sport and Exercise Psychologist (recognised by the British Psychological Society, or BPS) and an Associate Fellow of the BPS.

I am passionate about both swimming and psychology, and hope to share my passion, knowledge and experience with you. As a youth, I was a National age group, schools and junior champion and member of the Scottish national squads from the age of 14 until I stopped swimming seriously at 18. I was bored and disillusioned after going from a 15 year old with reasonably dreams of becoming an Olympian to a good-but-not-great senior.
