Please find attached the promotion of a series of Swimming Development Clinics for our swim squads with one of the most qualified and successful swim coaches in Australia, if not the world, in Bud McAllister. My reference to “the world” is not an over statement, Bud’s swimming coaching credentials are outstanding and I look forward to his expertise benefiting not only our swimming programme but also in the ongoing education of our valued coaches.
In partnership with the WA Institute of Sport and Swimming WA, the Arena Swim Club is extremely pleased to have the High Performance Training Centre based at HBF Arena, (and Craigie Leisure Centre). As you can read on the attached flyer the head coach of the HPTC, Bud McAllister, is a highly successful Olympic swim coach and his achievements are second to none!
In addition to Bud as a coach, the ASC is very fortunate to have some of Australia’s leading swimmers training four times a week alongside our Nationals through to our Bronze and Silver swimmers. The opportunity to learn from the best and to watch how these elite swimmers train is too good for any swimmer to pass up. Blair Evans, Western Australia’s own Olympic swimmer, is training for Rio 2016 and I encourage all swimmers, and parents, to take the time and watch Blair and the rest of the WAIS team, including a number of Arena’s high performance swimmers, push themselves to their limits at HBF Arena.
The swim clinics as detailed in the attached brochure form part of the Arena Swim Club commitment to providing the best possible training / coaching environment in Western Australia. I would like to formally welcome Bud and his team to our club and I look forward to working with him and our coaches in bringing more opportunities to our swim club members in the next 12 months.
I know the ASC members will be wishing him and his swimmers every possible success in the months ahead as they strive for Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.
