“Feeling successful and believing you are capable are two very important steps towards learning something new. Coaches need to earn the right to correct technique by building trust, giving praise for good work and effort and knowing their stuff”. 

Tanya has lectured at QLD Austswim conferences on the importance of understanding dry land competencies and the role of dry land training in stroke development, Aquatic Yoga and the how to care for your body as a swim coach.

Tanya “I believe really strongly that swimming teaches an incredible number of transferrable skills – grit, tenacity, knuckling down. But first, there has to be fun, there has to engagement and positive relationships with effort and reward.”
