14.01.2022 Last night around 100 past and present members of the Onkaparinga Swimming Club joined together to celebrate the amazing milestone of Pat Wheeler being Head coach of the Club for 20 years. Pat has served Onkas for 29 years in total, 20 of those being as Head Coach. It was great to get together to celebrate the many qualifications, awards and achievements Pat has accumulated over this time. It was particularly great to have so many swimmers, junior and senior be prepared to stand up and speak as to why they love and admire Pat so much, it became very apparent Pat has inspired so many of them not only in their sport but in their day to day lives. Congratulations Patty Wheeler, we hope you enjoyed your night, heres to many more years of being awesome.
