Learning From the Best

Last Saturday, we had the privilege of welcoming Ali Disher, Accredited Sports Dietitian, to Pimpama Swimming Club for a fantastic nutrition session with our swimmers and parents.

Made possible through Swimming Gold Coast’s Grant, this was a fantastic opportunity for our club community to learn from someone with an incredible depth of experience in high-performance sport, including with the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS), Swimming Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS).

Ali shared practical insights into fuelling for training, competition preparation, race day nutrition, recovery and everyday nutrition. She truly helped our swimmers understand how what happens away from the pool can play such an important role in supporting their training and development.

We’re incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from someone with Ali’s expertise and experience, and we know our swimmers and families took away plenty of valuable knowledge to put into practice.

Behind every race was weeks of preparation, countless hours of training and a team of coaches who put in the work to get our swimmers ready - providing guidance, encouragement and support during training and those difficult sets, to competition warm-up, and the final race.

To our coaches: thank you. Your time, knowledge and commitment make these opportunities possible, and our swimmers are incredibly lucky to have you in their corner.

To our 15 swimmers: you showed exactly what it means to represent our club and be a swimmer - perseverance when the races get tough, sportsmanship in every interaction, and consistency in the way you approach every training session to be able to qualify for States.
