SUPPORTING ONE OF AUSTRALIA’S LEADING FEMALE SWIMMING COACHES

Kelly Stubbins is the head coach at Cheltenham Swim Club. She is a former Dolphin and one of Australia’s leading female coaches. Her profile continues to grow rapidly, and she is already highly regarded by both Swimming Victoria and Swimming Australia as one of Australia’s best. Her growing exposure, positivity and dedication are exactly the attributes that brands seek. Many in the sport believe it is only a matter of time before Kelly coaches an Olympian and when she does, any brand that has shared her journey will be well positioned

Some of Kelly’s recent achievements as a representative coach are:

Coach with the Australian Flippers

SUPPORTING POTENTIAL FUTURE NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES

Kelly’s National Performance Squad range in age from 14 – 18 (both male and female), so they are only starting their journey in swimming With the average age of National representatives being 22 for females and 24 for males, many of the Cheltenham swimmers will be hitting their prime when the Olympics are held in Australia in 2032.
