21.01.2022 MEET THE COACHES.......This week we feature Mudcrabs coach and current Masters Swimming Queensland President, Cheryl Brodribb. Cheryl...... Q. Why do you coach?

To share my knowledge of swimming... How long have you been coaching? 18 years What is your favourite stroke to coach? Freestyle for open water swimming Advice for swimmers just returning to the pool..... Consider setting yourself a short term goal (1 to 3 months). For example, I will try to get to one of Mudcrabs training sessions each week. At 3 months, reset your goal and consider a long term goal (6+ months). For example, I will try open water swimming.
