Sandra Kipps 
Head Coach

I began swimming at the age of 3 and haven't left the pool since!  Being the top of my swim team in highschool, and having success as a competitive swimmer through university, I developed a love for competitions and knew that I would one day coach my own team.  It was impossible to say know when I was asked to coach ten years ago, and I was absolutely ecstatic to take the role of Head Coach only five years later!  Since then I have been able to help elevate our swimmers to an even higher level of excellence, and look forward to working with all of TSCs coaches to raise the bar even higher!

 

Blair McGuire
Coach

In 1995 I began to take swim lessons in my hometown, Upton UK.  I was inspired by the coaches I had and grew a profound fondness for auqa athletics.  In 2000 I made the jump accross the pond and was fortunate to find the Townsville Swimming Club.  I began to swim competitively for them in 2002, and was honored when they asked me to join their team if coaches in 2006.  

 

Spencer Davies
Coach

Swimming is the only thing I truly know.  I have been involved with the TSC since i can even remember!  I learned to walk here, I learned to talk here, and importantly I learned to swim here.  I truly believe that swimming is one of the most important skills a person can learn.  When I approached Sandra with the idea of joining the coaching team, I was excited to be welcomed with open arms.  I am excited to take this passion and incorporate it in my coaching techniques.
