Our Head Coach is a fully qualified teacher and our assistant coach has a level 1 teaching qualification and is continually learning through mentoring from various different areas. Team EthosThe coaching staff and team are committed to helping every swimmer in the team to reach their maximum potential. We believe this can be achieved for a wide range of ages and ability levels. Our top squad swimmers take time out of their training schedules when suitable to help our intermediate and development swimmers. Executive Committee President: Susan Liddle Secretary: Karen Harris Legislation Assessor: Alastair Leslie Treasurer: Carolyn Casebow Child Protection Officer: Karen Walker Head Coach: Colin Galbraith Team Captain: Eve Harris Vice Captain: James Cruickshank Web Design/Admin: David Liddle The Team Name 'Scorpions'The team was named ‘Scorpions’ for several reasons and various individual have asked why we chose a non-swimming animal. The beauty of this is that we as a coaching team believe that anyone can be taught to swim and compete at various levels. In addition the founding members chose a menacing scorpion, and it looks brilliant as a white logo against the black on the team caps. Hopefully this clears up some questions.
