Josh & Marina

This year we celebrate two of our staff members having worked here for ten years!

A big congratulations and an even bigger thank you to Josh and Marina! Their commitment, passion, dedication and loyalty are second to none. We are so grateful to have them both as part of the team.

Josh is our Senior Squad Coach. He has been swimming for as long as he can remember. He began training for competitive swimming when he was 7, and when he was 9 he joined us at Grace Swimming. Josh continued swimming competitively until 2010, and now holds a Bronze Coaching Licence, Level 1 Strength and Conditioning Certificate, and is currently in the process of gaining his Silver Coaching Licence. He started coaching to give young kids an opportunity to love swimming and watch them achieve their goals, whether it be completing a 25m swim, or making a qualifying time for states. Being able to impart his knowledge to the swimmers inspires him every day, and never fails to bring a smile to his face.

Marina is a Senior Learn to Swim Instructor, teaching from our Baby & Toddler levels, all the way through Learn to Swim and our Stroke Development Program. Because of Marina’s love of the ocean and scuba diving, she has always thought it really important to be able to swim efficiently in order to enjoy the water. The joy of being in the water is what she always likes to pass on to her students.

Both Josh and Marina are exceptional team players, and are adored by staff, parents, and swimmers alike. We are so lucky to have such amazing, passionate people on the team.
