Welcome to our New Head Coach

The club wishes to give a big welcome to our new coach Robin Armayan.

 Robin comes from the Bordeaux region of France and has spent the last two years working with various clubs in Australia to improve his coaching skills. His English is  very good and he is very enthusiastic about Poole Swimming Club. Having been a competitive swimmer himself he knows the importance of dedication to training and hopes to see the club become more successful in the future.

 We can all help him to enjoy his job as our coach by arriving on time for sessions, listening carefully to what he has to say and training hard.
