Officer Tony Coia
At a young age Tony remembers asking his father who the man in the boat rescuing persons from flooded vehicles in Springburn was.
Some time later after years of life saving training Tony was finally introduced to George Parsonage by a friend who was in the Strathclyde Police Underwater Unit. By this time Tony had made a career in Lifeguarding and is a trainer assessor with Glasgow City Council.
After almost 4 years of being a member of the Glasgow Humane Society Lifeguard Corp from the position of Senior Lifeguard, Tony is now an Officer.
While still (always) learning and taking new courses, Tony is now in the position to organise and run other courses for the Society.
