Ron taught for the local council for over 30 years and was one of the founder members of the Royal Life Saving Society Middlesex Branch. He met Pam at The Finchley School of Swimming and eventually took on the running of this voluntary club. Both became Area Organisers for the RLSS. As well as this club, they started The Wood Green Swimming Club and ran lessons at The Mattison Road Swimming Pool (Harringay) and Church Farm Swimming Pool (East Barnet). In 1975 they built The Oakleigh Park School of Swimming in Whetstone to provide swimming lessons in small groups in warm water.
