During 2016/17, the excellent performances of asctaQLD coaches was again recognised by their selection to lead and assist with Swimming Queensland and Swimming Australia teams. It is 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 2016 Australian Open Championships, 12 Queensland coaches were selected on the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Teams (P). These were: Michael Bohl OAM, Jan Cameron (P), Harley Connolly (P), Denis Cotterell, Simon Cusack, Brendan Keogh (P), David Lush, Chris Mooney, Vince Raleigh, Michael Sage, Richard Scarce, and Rick Van Der Zant (P). The outstanding efforts of these coaches culminated in Queensland continuing to produce world-class coaches and athletes. The success rate of these coaches saw Queensland swimmers bring home 70% of Australia’s medals achieved at the 2016 Olympic Games and 40% of medals achieved at the 2016 Paralympic Games. Queensland maintained its perfect record at the 2016 State Teams Short Course Championships, securing yet another victory under the following coaches: Shaun Crow (Head Coach), Damien Jones (Male Head Coach), David Lush (Female Head Coach), Craig Harkiss, Tom Harris, Adam Hosking, Raelene Ryan, Ken Sabotic, Richard Sleight and Lachlan Staples. This event was first held in 2009 and Queensland has won each year since its inception. Queensland again took out the Male and Female awards at the 2017 Australian Open Championships, along with 42 individual gold medals for. Queensland Target Squad Coaches once again looked sharp on pool deck during Finals Sessions, wearing their business shirts provided by asctaQLD. Queensland also maintained their excellent track record at the 2017 Australian Age Championships, with 37 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 National Age Champion shirt. 2 The 2017/18 Swimming Queensland Development Squads were selected after the 2017 Open and Age Nationals based on times swum between 1 May 2016 and 30 June 2017. asctaQLD recognised coaches of swimmers in these development squads with a squad shirt based on the highest level squad achieved by their swimmers. asctaQLD enlisted the services of swimming experts David Lush, Nick Smith, Lachlan Mitchell, Drew McGregor, Shaun Crow, Sally Bailey, Tom Barton, Marie Hasemann, Chris Dellit, Wendy Ross and Sue Mayo to present at the 2016 asctaQLD State Conference, which provided teachers and coaches with a valuable professional development and collaborative opportunity. To continue the support of Queensland coaches, asctaQLD also contributes to Swimming Queensland via financial support for the Coach and Club Development Officers who work with coaches around the State in the form of clinics, coaches workshops, program visits and associated development activities. The annual asctaQLD Coaches Christmas Lunch was held on the last day of the 2016 Queensland Championships at the Sleeman Sports Complex. During the lunch, the 2015/16 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 2016/17 financial year, the Association retained a surplus of $48,011. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the asctaQLD Board for their contributions in this voluntary role and all who have contributed to the success of asctaQLD in offering their support throughout the year.
