During 2015/16, the excellence of asctaQLD coaches was again recognised by their selection to lead and assist with Swimming Queensland and Swimming Australia teams. It is due to the success of such coaches that Queensland and Australia were well represented on both a National and International platform. Following Queensland’s success at the 2015 Australian Open Championships, 9 Queensland coaches were selected on the 2015 FINA World Championship Team and IPC World Championship Team. These were: Michael Bohl, John Wallace, Simon Cusack, Michael Sage, Chris Mooney, Vince Raleigh, Richard Scarce, Harley Connolly (IPC) and Jan Cameron (IPC). Queensland Coaches were also represented at the Junior level, with Chris Nesbit being selected on the 2015 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships Team and Dean Boxall on the 2015 Junior Commonwealth Games Team. These coaches have proven that Queensland continues to produce world class coaches and athletes. It is the efforts of these coaches that saw Queensland swimmers bring home 71% of Australia’s medals achieved at the 2015 FINA World Championships, 53% of medals achieved at 2015 FINA World Junior Swimming Championships, and 62% of medals achieved at the 2015 Junior Commonwealth Games. Once again, Queensland maintained their track record of excellence at the 2016 Australian Age Championships, with 36 Queensland coaches producing gold medal winners, earning Queensland the Premier State Award. asctaQLD recognised the outstanding achievement of these coaches by awarding them an asctaQLD Age Champion shirt. This year asctaQLD introduced a new initiative at the 2016 Australian Age Championship, that recognised up-and-coming coaches who achieved good results. This year’s recipients of this new recognition program were: Lachlan Staples, James Boyce, James Critoph, Steve Miller, Chelsea Orbell and Elisha Hunt. 2 Queensland once again took out the Male and Female Team awards at the 2016 Australian Open Championships along with 39 gold medals for individual events. Queensland maintained its perfect record at the 2015 State Teams Short Course Championships, taking out the championships for the seventh consecutive year under the following coaches: Shaun Crow (Head Coach), David Lush (Male Head Coach), David Proud (Female Head Coach), Elisha Hunt, Josh Smith, Mark Lorrimer, Kyle Samuelson, Tom Harris, Damien Jones and Tsuyoshi Kimura. This year, the annual asctaQLD Coaches Christmas Lunch was held on the first day of the Queensland Championships at the Sleeman Sports Complex. During the lunch, the 2014/15 Coaching Awards were presented, recognising the success of Queensland coaches and celebrating their outstanding achievements. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Swimming Queensland and asctaQLD sponsor Vorgee for once again generously supporting this function. At the conclusion of the 2015/16 financial year, the Association retained a surplus of $46,082. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all who have contributed to the success of asctaQLD in offering their support throughout the year. Our gratitude goes to the asctaQLD Board for their contributions in this voluntary role, with a special mention to David Lush for helping to re-establish the asctaQLD website to facilitate more effective communication with our members. I would also like to make note of the continuation of sponsorship from Vorgee, together with the support provided from the Queensland Academy of Sport and Swimming Queensland, whose commitment and support vitally contribute to the success and development of our Queensland coaches.
