Swimming Queensland is pleased to announce the inaugural Paulus Wildeboer Coaching Scholarship has been awarded to Paul Jones (Ambrose Treacy), Lachlan Staples (Southside Aquatics), Richard McLean (Toowoomba Grammar) and James Boyce (Cotton Tree).
SQ was able to increase the number of recipients of the 2016 scholarship to four due to the support of the Queensland Academy of sport.
Paul, Lachlan, Richard and James will attend the American Swimming Coaches Association World Clinic in September this year and will also visit the home program of a leading US Coach.
The scholarship pays tribute to SQ’s former Head Coach, Paulus Wildeboer, an inspirational man who touched the lives of everyone he met in his short time with us.
