The Coaches and Commitee

Current Coaches

 All our coaches are police checked

Our coaches have all attended a variety of coaching courses from beginner courses developed by Artistic Swimming New Zealand to ones run by World Aquatics (formerly FINA).

All our coaches have work outside of synchro, balancing full time study, or work to coach.

We are lucky that Wellington is a university town, as a lot of our current and past coaches have come to Wellington to study.

Whilst all our coaches have an area they prefer to coach, generally our coaches all pitch in and work with all groups; this way we all keep up to date with the routines and athlete progress
