Coaches Corner

Get to know your coach!

We've had a few new coaches join RSC over the past couple of months. We want to give a very warm welcome to Matt Geddes, Ava Mountney and Lucy Woolard who will be working with our junior and competitive squads this term. All 3 coaches are former performance swimmers with RSC and have transitioned from Learn to Swim teachers to swim coaches. Matt, Ava and Lucy have all been involved in the club leadership team during their time as swimmers with RSC and will be wonderful coaches and mentors for our swimmers. Matt and Ava have finished their Competitive Strokes qualification and Lucy is currently working on hers.

We have asked our new coaches a few questions so you can get to know them a little better! This week's feature coach is Lucy Woolard:
