Obituary of Bob Hudson Stroke Blackpool: Paying Tribute to Loved Active Blackpool Swimming Instructors

 Following a stroke earlier this year, beloved Blackpool resident Bob Hudson fought valiantly until his death. As a committed swimming instructor and mentor, Bob changed the lives of numerous people with his kind smile, unrivaled sense of humor, and love of teaching.

Bob's journey with Active Blackpool started during his own cardiac rehabilitation, where he found his purpose in assisting others and made a commitment to bettering his own health. Bob developed into a vital member of the aquatic community over the years, encouraging children of all ages to gain self-assurance in the water. He was genuinely unique because of his contagious energy, distinctive style, and capacity to make everyone feel at home.

Outside of the pool, Bob was a loyal friend to many and a loving husband to his wife, Helen. He was renowned for his tenacity, fortitude, and kindness, and he was always ready to lend a helping hand to others in his vicinity.

The Active Blackpool family and everyone who had the honor of knowing Bob are deeply saddened by his departure. Through the innumerable lives he touched, his passion for swimming, his pupils, and his community will endure.

In remembrance of Bob, friends, coworkers, and swimmers are urged to "carry on swimming for Bob"—continue sharing his love of the water.

May everyone who steps onto the pool deck be inspired for ever by his light, laughter, and energy.
