My name is Katie McFarlane and I am the Age group coach at Breakers Swimming Club. I was a competitive swimmer for over 13 years and have raced at a National level with my best achievement, racing at the 2021 Olympic trials. The love I have for the sport inspired me to become a swimming coach and have been coaching since 2017.

 

I am a Development qualified coach and I am currently undering going my Advance qualification. I have also completed a Diploma in Sports Development. My energetic and creative personality comes out in my coaching through creative and engaging sessions. My passion is to help other swimmers to achieve their goals both in and out of the water.

My name is Angus Clouston and I am the Gold squad coach at Breakers Swim Club. I joined the Breakers team in September 2023. I am currently pursuing a degree in Exercise and Sport Science at ECU. I aim to gain in-depth knowledge, skills, and resources to become an outstanding coach. As a junior/age swimmer, I used to participate in competitive swimming. Unfortunately, due to multiple injuries, I decided to pursue cricket, which I still play at a high level.

 

As a coach, my primary goal is to mentor and challenge athletes to reach their full potential, not only in their athletic pursuits but also in their personal growth. I firmly believe that both aspects are equally important. To achieve this, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where all members feel comfortable and valued. My coaching style reflects my positive attitude, high energy, and enthusiasm for others' success.
