Jacqueline Cole

Welcome to another episode of the Aquatic Mentors podcast. I am your host, Katrina van Eyk.

In this episode I interview an industry professional who started her career in aquatics as a volunteer swim teacher and has now built a career through her 20 years working as a swim teacher. So, please extend a big welcome to the podcast for Jacqueline Cole.

Jacqueline started her career working with swimmers who suffer from Asthma, helping them grow and develop their lung capacity through swimming. After this program was shut down, she moved on to work with the Rainbow Club.

The Rainbow Club is a network of social swimming clubs for children with a disability. With their unique Swim the Rainbow program, Rainbow Club offers a fun and safe community for children with a disability to have personalised swimming lessons catered to their needs.

Jacqueline has spent 12 years teaching children with a disability in the Rainbow Club program and she is now their programs and quality manager.

Through today’s episode Jacqueline shares some insights into her work as well as her thoughts on swimming and where she see’s swimming moving to in the future.

Please share the hidden gems you find in Jacqueline’s interview on our Facebook page, Aquatic Mentors and you will find all her contact details listed at the end of the show notes.

If you want to share your aquatic story, please contact me via my email: regionalswimclinics@outlook.com

I have launched a selection of master classes which cover a variety of topics relating to swim teaching and coaching at Regional Swim Clinics Training Academy.

These courses can be found on my website: www.regionalswimclinics.com.au and by clicking on courses.

All the courses are designed to be easy on your wallet and time while giving you a wealth of knowledge to take and implement in your next lesson or squad session.

So, lets dive in and find out about Jacqueline’s journey in swimming.
