They have put in place a comprehensive and highly structured progressive system of swim coaching and development. Brian is a Gold Level Swim Coach and Peter a Silver Level Swim Coach.While Brian is a well-known local identity, Peter brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise in the swimming world. Honoured with Life Membership to both Swimming QLD and the Brisbane Swimming Association, Peter was also acknowledged in 2008 at the Australian Age Swimming Championships when he was presented with an Australian Team Tracksuit by Denis Cotterill in recognition of his life’s work and commitment to the development of Australian swimmers.

Peter’s previous young charges have gone on to Olympic and World Championship success and include greats such as Tracey Wickham, Susan Landells, Bronte Barrett and Michael Bohl to name just a few.
