Dean Greenwood, Director
Hi, my background in swimming goes back to growing up on the beach or around swimming pools as my father was heavily involved in surflifesaving. It was therefore a natural progression into competitive swimming and surflifesaving and a career that lasted about 15 years. By now swimming was a large part of my life and coaching was an exciting opportunity to put something back into the sport and pass on some of what I had learned to young swimmers coming up. |
