Sally Minty, was born in the Belgian Congo on 16th July 1957 where her father was the manager of a rubber plantation working for Unilever. Almost before she could walk Sally was learning to swim alongside elder brother Chris in a home made canvas lined ‘pool’ devised by father Leslie, deep in the Congolese jungle. A small elephant and a colourful parrot stood out from a small menagerie of family pets. She emerged to return to Jersey with the family when the unpleasantness of civil war erupted. Jersey at that time had no indoor pool and the Minty family swam in sea pools and off beaches where her skill was honed. As a teenager she became a very successful competitor with the Jersey Swimming Clu.
