💚🖤GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK🖤💚
Today, after almost 4 years, CR SWIM will teach its last learn to swim lesson. At 5:30pm the doors will close one last time on what has been the most amazing and crazy ride I could ever have imagined.

Back in the late stages of 2020 as COVID was clearing I started a little side gig that I called CR SWIM, with the aim at having a little squad of swimmers in the Southern Highlands. What bloomed in the next 4 years was completely magical. My side gig took off and I was able to leave my professional career as a teacher to become a full time business owner and swimming coach.

Early on we were left looking for a pool and we were lucky enough to secure Tudor House Pool which, despite the adverse weather at times, we called home for the next 2.5 years. It was there that CR SWIM’s 1:1 learn to swim were born. From there on in, my awesome staff and I have taught thousands of swimming lessons to kids as young as 18months all the way through to adults at the age of 78.

In 2023 we were left yet again looking for a pool. And due to pure luck/ the constant persistence of Mark Dowling, we were lucky enough to secure another 12 months at Victoria St. Vic street brought a few challenges with only being 20m long and 76cm deep at one end, but it did provide something Tudor House could not… 4 WALLS and WARMTH!!

As much as I love teaching my kiddies to swim, it’s no secret that my passion has always been with my squad programs, with numerous trips around the state, Australia and the World following my athletes as they performed.
We built a formidable junior squad program that boasted 100+ junior kids and an elite squad that produced multiple state and country champions/medalists and finalists as well as 2 National Age Finalists. We also managed to get 2 National opens qualifiers and an Olympic Trials qualifier.
All of this out of a tiny hole in the ground in the freezing Southern Highlands.
Not to forget the original and ever ‘elite’ triathlon squad, which lays claim to the very first, client number 1, the OG himself, Glendyn Foley, who swum with us all the way until the end. And, just like his first session, it was finished with a 400m freestyle time trial, where he posted a time of 7:24, a mere 5 minutes quicker than his 12:40 in November 2020!!

Which leads us to my departure. Earlier this term, I was approached and offered a position to coach the National Age Senior Program at Warringah Aquatic Swimming Club. It was one of the toughest decisions of my life, but one that was made with my future hopes and dreams at the forefront. I have had to change my colours from 🖤💚 and will now represent the 🩷🖤 of WASC Piranhas!
I will miss you all so, so much, and I hope to see all of you around on pool deck in years to come

Signing out with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes,
Swim Smart. Swim Fast

Nationals 2024 wrap up 🖤💚
Big swim, beach runs with mates, warm weather, coach catch up, finals and medal💪🏽

What a difference 12 months of hard work, commitment and completely pulling a stroke in half and relearning how to swim breaststroke has made.

Annabel finshed the meet with:
8th 200 breaststroke (combined 17seconds of PBs this season)
17th 50 breaststroke (combined 2.4sec of PBs this season)
18th 100 breaststroke (combined 6 seconds of PBs this season)

All 3 swims inside of the top 20 with one of those being my first ever A finalist as a coach!
To put this into perspective, Bel finished 69th in the 50m breaststroke last year as her only swim.
I’m so proud of everything we have been able to do and prove this year from our tiny little 3 lane 20m hole in the ground in the Southern Highlands! Bigger and better things to come!
🖤💚🏊🏻‍♀️

I also got to spend some time on pool deck with the amazing Michael Bohl and Janelle Pallister, learning some vital skills and testing my ability on the stop watch! ⏱️⏱️

Bel and I were fortunate enough to catch up with former CR SWIM member Ollie who has had an epic meet so far, claiming a few silver medals and still with 3 swims to go! Good luck! 🥈🥈

Now, on my way to Mooloolaba where I’ll race Aussie Surf and hopefully bring back some bling 🏅

Over and out 🖤💚

Nationals 2024 Update 🏊🏻‍♀️💚🖤
2 days of racing and 4 unbelievably great swims by Annabel. Last year Bel made the 50m breaststroke, added 0.08 and came 69th.
This year Bel has made 50/100/200 breaststroke, made an A Final and a B final and finished 8th and 18th in Australia in the 16s girls 200/100 Breaststroke. My highest ever finish from an athlete and my first ever Top 10/A Final! To put this achievement into perspective and highlight how hard she has worked, Bel’s 200 Breaststroke time is now 17 seconds faster than when we started the season back in November!!

We have a couple of days rest now and then we finish with a bang in the 50m Breaststroke on Friday! I’m so proud of everything she has achieved in the past 12 months and it’s 100% down to her work ethic and commitment to her training! Well done Annabel! 💚🖤🏊🏻‍♀️

**SAVE THE DATE**
The Term 2 Learn to Swim email will be released on Friday April 5 - 9am. Please reply promptly and directly to the email with a variety of possible time slots to have the best chance of receiving a place in the Term 2 Program.

Congratulations to one of our very favourite masters swimmers, Tony Goodwin! Tony has just won 4 gold medals at the World Masters Championships in Doha this week. He claimed gold in the 50/100/200 breaststroke and 200IM. Tony regularly visits CR SWIM, sometimes joins the squads and is the biggest inspiration to all of the kids by showing that swimming is for life.
We love you Tony! See you at Fermento for a coffee soon!🥇☕️

Back from being the biggest swim nerd ever. 6 days on the Gold Coast with Michael Bohl, Janelle Pallister and the Griffith University Team leading into the Olympics. What a fantastic experience. I have learnt so much about coaching, about what it takes to be an elite athlete and so much more. I got to spend time with the best of the best in Australian Swimming and every single one of them is so dedicated and grounded! Their drive, tenacity and simply insane training habits cannot be matched. I am so thankful for this opportunity to learn from the best, test my stopwatch skills and pretty much just be the biggest swim nerd in the history of the sport! Also, this is hands down my favourite pool/venue in Australia
