Justin and Angela
Rothwell are the extraordinary team which
oversees the terrific team of swimmers,
coaches and members, at ABC
Swimming.
The husband and wife,
proud parents of two children themselves,
understand the virtues, principles and
proper supervision for children and
youth to the ever-growing and
expanding academy at two top quality
centres - at Guildford and
Ashfield.
Justin, 33, is now a well
established coach and a young man who intends
to further his already impressive credentials
and career as a fulltime professional swim
coach. As a youth Justin was a national level
competitor and swam at Olympic Games trials and
he and was tutored by current Australian
and Olympic head coach Alan Thompson. In fact,
following his swimming days, Justin cemented
his desire to become a coach with Thompson
remaining a mentor, today. Justin believes in
not only coaching the swimmer, but also
ensuring the person develops in a wholistic
approach. The swimmer not only attains better
talents and abilities but also learns about
their character, the powers and and capacities
of their minds and to help equip them for
life's everyday challenges when their swimming
days are over. Justin's swimming CV makes
compelling reading. He is the current president
of the ASCTA NSW Coaches Association. Justin
firmly believes in also helping teach the
coaches who in turn develop the boys and girls
at the ABC Swimming academies. Between
2002-2006, Justin, was head coach of the NSW
swimming team and over the past five years has
worked at the national event camps with
Australian teams. In 2006, Justin, was a member
of the Australian Commonwealth Games team in
Melbourne. His coaching career is one which has
traversed both on domestic and international
waters.
''I believe in coaching the
person so he or she can be the best they can be
in and out of the pool,''Justin Rothwell
said.
''Angela and myself tailor
programs to suit the boys and girls relevant
ages, skills, abilities and learning
capacities.
''Overall, our motto is to
make the learning environment, fun, relaxing,
enjoyable but also educational.''
Angela Rothwell, a proud
mother, has an extensive swimming background
including managing leisure and aquatic centres.
She is also a fully qualified trainer and
presenter with the Royal Life Saving Society in
Resusitation and Bronze Medallion. Angela is
also a trainer and presenter
forAustswim,
the Australian Courses in Babies,
Children, Adults, Disabled and
Competitive strokes. The articulate and
affable Angela is also a Bronze
level accredited swim
coach and qualified life guard. Angela
also looks after the babies and young
children swim programs and when the
swimmers are considered to have
progressed to the next level, Justin,
then takes over their programs by placing
them into squads for specialised
training.
One of the most
important aspects of ABC Swimming is
the learn to swim programs before the swimmers,
who are identified, enter the squad
programs.
Water safety, saving lives,
teaching children the importance of safe
swimming practises, aquatic education are the
hallmarks of Justin and Angela Rothwell's
philosophies.
Together, Angela and Justin,
make a formidable professional team, along with
their bevvy of qualified male and female
coaches at the Guildford and Ashfield, ABC
Swimming centres of excellence.
