Who's Who

The club is administered by a committee of dedicated people...there is always a need for fresh blood within the organisation structure, so don't be shy in coming forward.... but of course, there are lots of other people involved in the background.
We've put together a "who's who" to help you put a face to a name (but obviously some of the images below are temporary... cloning hasn't yet been perfected !)

Executive Committee Members

This is the senior level of governance within the Apex club and is essential to the good running of the organisation. The Executive Committee provides direction and, together with the other committee members and helpers, gets things organised and keeps things working within the club. Executive Committee members are elected.

Non-Executive Committee Members

The group of non-executive committee members provide the support necessary to keep the non-coaching club processes operating for swimmers and parents. From new membership applications, Apex Masters and Water Polo issues, to the organisation of club events this group works with the Exec. and helpers to make sure that things get done. Perhaps you might want to consider joining the team?

Non-Committee Members/Helpers

Apart from committee members and coaching staff, the club depends on it's crew of helpers, poolside assistants, timekeepers and the like. If you fall into this group of "unsung heroes" and aren't listed below - please let me, Pat Osborne, or any committee member know. Without helpers the club simply couldn't function, so the importance and value of the time that all our helping hands give mustn't be understated. Likewise, if you'd like to see your name here - speak to anybody who is....we can always fit you in somewhere !

Coaching Team

The coaching team are at the heart of the swimming club with the Head Coach providing direction and each member of the team taking responsibility for their own squads. Our coaches monitor the development and progress of each swimmer and whilst every member of the squads tend to know who "their" coach is you should get to know them all. They're all watching you in those lanes !!
