Beginners Swim Coach

Let me introduce Maxine Parker, who has volunteered her time to help those not yet ready for triathlon or swim squad training. Maxine has worked with a variety of levels from teach-to-swim through to club coaching and water safety, as well as special needs on and off for 25 years. As well as being a wife and nana, and learning how to run, she is enjoying this time in her life doing what makes her happy - helping people swim! Maxine usually covers basic water confidence, floating on your front and back, arm and leg technique, and breathing.This will help prepare you for the various Triathlon Coach's swim squads later on. Oh, and she is very bossy, so don't think that cold water is any excuse...

Just a snippet of what others have to say...

​​​​​​​Thanks so much for the session out at the lake. Maxine is absolutely amazing. I haven't put my head under water, yet alone swimproperly in years. I was unsure about going tonight after a long few days and when I got there I had no intention of going out of my depth. Within a few minutes she had me swimming out to the second buoy and I loved it. I got so much out of the session and can't wait for another one. Everyone is super friendly and supportive as well which made it even better. Thanks so much!! Becky Price, Jan 30th 2017

I too was a first time swimmer tonight at the blue lake. I am petrified of the water and was incredibly nervous and panicky waiting in the car for everyones arrival, Maxine was absolutely amazing with me. Nothing like a challenge for a Monday. So Huge Huge thank you to Maxine& the entire group tonight for your patience and allowing me to fit in. See you next week! Chrystal Hansen, Feb 13th
