Support Team
This page is dedicated to my wonderful support team, because without you I would not be where I am today. I don’t think I say enough how thankful I am of all your input to my swimming career and how much your help is appreciated.
THANK YOU to:
Mum and Dad – You know who you are, but won’t probably read this as you have only just learned to work the video player! Anyway, you made all this happen and are my biggest support crew and without a doubt my Dad is my biggest fan. My Dad has a passion to succeed and works hard. He has passed this onto me and his work ethics are second to none.
Krista-Lee Robinson and Selwyn Bain – My massage therapists from Christchurch Sports Massage Clinic (140 Durham Street South, City, Christchurch) for their help with all my massage and preparing my body for week after week of intense training. I have not met another man such as Selwyn that keeps me entertained with his amusing stories and an amazing talent to inflict immense pain. Yes Selwyn, it’s for my own good. Thanks Krista, the best masseuse in the world, you are fantastic – it can’t be easy listening to me tell you how tired I am week after week.
Guy Trolove – My Chiropractor also known as The guy with the magic hands! Guy is amazing and fixes almost anything and always straightens me out no matter what mess I have got myself into during the weeks training. He also is a qualified Chiropractor for animals so from time to time I take my dogs in for treatment too!
Sarah Atkinson – Pilates Personal fitness (unit 9,357 Madras Street Christchurch) From Pilates,to my housemate to being practically my PA, Sarah is like the little sister i never had. No matter what she is there for me..big thanks Sarah-for putting with everything.
QE2 pools, Jellie Park and Aqualand in Christchurch – My training venues. I couldn’t ask for a better place to train, I have everything I need. From excellent Long Course facilities at QE2 and Jellie Park for my short course swim session and not to mention the place I love – the gyms at Body Tamers. You helped me get big and strong!
All my coaches – Thanks to all coaches past and who I currently still work with. I’m not the easiest swimmer to coach, a sprinter for one, breaststroker second and thirdly as Kim would say €œa female€. Another special mention to Kim Swanwick who made me who I am today and gave me the brains to be independent and provide me with skills to be a great swimmer and one day a great coach. I also thank Clive Rushton (New Zealand Swimming) for your constant faith and belief in me.
Tim Hill – My lawyer and a Partner at Cordner Hill Law firm Christchurch. A lawyer who is actually a good guy! Tim protects me from any scrapes I may get into, and protects me from evil.
Tilman, Jae and Benson – My Dogs and the most precious things in the world. These guys keep things real and taught me how to take responsibility.
My friends – You all know who you are, you’re like Gold.
My Competitors/Rivals – Especially you Australians. Thanks for keeping me honest!
Meta Solutions – My design team from Christchurch. Many thanks for creating this brilliant website, and teaching me things I never knew!
