With a focus firmly on the future, Arena Swim Club is excited to offer our members the opportunity to fire up their motivation and train with former Olympian <\/span><\/p>\n

NEIL BROOKS<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A commanding presence at almost 2m tall, Neil Brooks \u2013 or \u201cBrooksie\u201d to his mates, is a giant in person and in the pool. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Predominantly a freestyler, the former Olympian understands the importance of team, winning 1980 Olympic gold for Australia\u00a0in Moscow as anchor of the \u201cQuietly Confident Quartet\u201d\u00a0 Men\u2019s 4 x 100m medley relay team and Silver at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games as part of the infamous \u201cMean Machine\u201d Men\u2019s 4 x 100m freestyle relay team.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An adaptable sportsman, Neil has also attained representative level in water polo, indoor cricket and Australian League football. Adaptable too in life, Neil is a Dad, a husband, an author, rock guitarist, sports presenter and an accomplished writer, having completed a University Journalism degree in Arkansas, USA. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A determination to reclaim his fitness in 2008 resulted in a successful return to the competitive swimming world stage. Neil now fuels his passion for competition through Triathlon – making personal and community gains, both here and in Indonesia, where he shares his passion and skills, mentoring local triathletes.<\/span><\/p>\n
