Lucia Calderone
Assistant Coach
I have been a competitive swimmer at Yarra since 2019 and although I didn’t learn to swim here when I first joined I was welcomed with open arms and instantly fell in love with the loving, friendly environment of the club.
When I first joined my first coach was also a swimmer and I got to know him as a coach and a mentor and I really want to follow in those footsteps and be a mentor to others.
As a competitive swimmer I have been fortunate to swim at state level. What I love about competing is encouraging everyone, cheering and supporting my teammates and of course winning and getting PBs! My biggest motive as a coach is to be supportive and encouraging as well as being a friendly face that you can trust and always talk to.
Outside of the pool, I love relaxing, listening to music and playing with my dog. I am also a part of the Woolamai Surf Life Saving Club and love the beach with a strong passion of helping people.
