MAIN COACHRon Rhodes

One of Ron’s key strengths is his ability to tailor training programs to individual needs. His focus on stroke techniques, strategic training routines, and insightful feedback has led to remarkable improvements in his swimmers’ performance and endurance levels. Ron’s commitment to the values of acceptance, consideration, respect, and fairness for all participants further sets him apart.

MAIN COACHJohn Watson

I have been a member of BSM for a number of years, too many to remember but at a guess in the vicinity of 20 odd years on and off, the off due to work commitments. I have been coaching BSM members as a volunteer Swimming Australia accredited Bronze coach for 6 years, and for some time before that. Each year I am very fortunate to be invited to attend a stroke clinic conducted by three of the top Olympic coaches in Australia. This allows me the opportunity to update my knowledge of any changes that are taking place in swimming as technique, drills etc.
