QUEENSLAND DOMINATES OLYMPIC SYNCHRO TEAM

Queensland has shown it is a force in Australian Synchronized Swimming with the 9 member team consisting of 8 Queensland swimmers.

This is an outstanding achievement and congratulations to all Queensland swimmers, coaches, clubs and the state organisation on achieving this.

A very special thank you and congratulations to Marina Kholod. Marina is the coach of all 8 swimmers and the Australian National Assistant Coach who has prepared the girls for their selection to the Olympic team.

The Duet is Eloise Amberger and Sarah Bombell, coached by Marina Kholod. These girls brought home a Bronze medal from the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games and will do Queensland and Australia proud at the 2011 London Olympics.

Position Vacant - coach

Neptunes, Albany Creek, Queensland, Australia

Neptunes synchronised swimming club has been operating for 16 years, training young girls into experienced swimmers. We are a close, friendly group of mostly parents that love watching our group develop skills and friendships in a supportive team.
After many years of dedicated service, our coaches are retiring. We need a part-time coach in 2011 to continue developing our keen group of young swimmers. You will need to be accredited to coach (or willing to gain accreditation immediately), and will be working with the support of the national association, our parent-committee and the participants. Your role will be to plan and deliver the synchronised swimming programme to a group of about 15 swimmers, ranging in age and experience. Some are more focused on fun and basic skills, while others are preparing for state and national competition. This will involve two weekly sessions (more around competition times); attending state and national competitions; developing choreography of program; and selecting costumes.
If you are a synchronised swimming coach, and you’re interested in finding out more, our team needs you! We’d love to hear from you. We can provide a competitive salary, and a job description is available on request.
