Anthony Mcleod
Swimming has always been, and still is, a major feature of
Anthony’s life. He grew up in North Queensland and first
swam at the Aitkenvale Swimming Club. He was an
outstanding young swimmer and became the Age Champion for
North Queensland two years in a row. He then went on to
reach a very high level of competitive State swimming and
managed to win two Queensland State medals. His excellent
times for butterfly ranked Anthony in the national top 10.
Anthony not only represented Queensland in competitive pool
swimming but also was a State representative in surf
swimming.
Anthony has now taken his skills and experience in swimming
to the role of Swim Coach. In his career to date, he has
successfully coached swimmers right through to national
rankings. From 2004 he began development of a young team
that reached the Australian National Championships as
qualifiers. Within a short 4 years he had swimmers who
reached finals in the Australian National Championships. His
talent as a swim coach was further recognised when he was
selected as Head Coach for a representative Gold Coast team
to compete at the Arafura Games (Darwin) in 2007. He was
then selected as Queensland Development Coach from
2007-2009. Anthony has also been instrumental in coaching
the Queensland Junior Development Camps held on the Gold
Coast in 2007 and Toowoomba 2008. Anthony is currently a
Bronze level Swimming Coach and is on the way to completing
his Silver level coaching qualification.
Anthony has a strong belief in the development of good
swimming technique. In doing so he has a solid commitment
to working on skills and teaching his swimmers to understand
the mechanics of swimming. He has an excellent attitude
towards all his swimmers and their families, and manages to
encourage and teach a wide range of abilities from LTS
programs right through to adult masters.
