Coaches & Officials

Our Coaches

NCSC Coaches are experienced in coaching and training swimmers at all levels.

To ensure our coaches can focus on running training sessions, we request parents do not interrupt coaches while they are coaching on pool deck or preparing for squad sessions.

If you would like to arrange a time to discuss your child’s swimming, please use the Contact Form and our Lead Coach will be in touch shortly.

LEAD COACH

Treena Skeggs-Grant

Treena has been a swimming coach for over 30 years, assisting athletes to reach state and national competitions in Western Australia, Queensland, Singapore and Thailand.

Treena calls herself a 'hard, but fair' coach! "I am technique driven and will forgo mileage for quality skills when required. My goal is to have the athletes under my care not only develop into better swimmers, but to understand the intricacies of the sport they have chosen. For me as a coach, one of my greatest satisfactions is taking the 'rough diamond' and, with some polish, seeing them reach heights and accomplish goals they had not thought possible."

DEVELOPMENT COACH

Claire Evans

Claire Evans specialises in both technical pool and open water swimming. She has coached many swimmers achieve their goals of completing solo or team crossings of local open water events such as the Rottnest Island Channel swim, the Port to Pub as well as many national and international events. Claire is a great asset to our team!

DEVELOPMENT COACH

Davide Cappati

Davide joined NCSC in Jan '25 and brings extensive experience as a swimming coach, specialising in developing the junior competitive squad. His coaching philosophy combines a high level of technical sessions with a solid workload, delivering the principles of sport education such as correct dryland/warm-up, correct fuel (food) intake and sufficient recovery.

His goal is at NCSC is to help fulfil the potential of every swimmer at the Club, and to develop the best Junior Performance pathway here in WA.

Davide's Italian accent and humour are a wonderful asset to our pool deck!

JUNIOR COACH

Kate Harper

Kate joined NCSC as a coach in 2019, bringing a wealth of experience from her years as a competitive swimmer. Dating back to when she was just 10 years old, Kate competed at both state and national levels and then transitioned into coaching, a testament to her dedication and understanding of the sport. Since taking on the role, Kate has helped guide swimmers to qualifying at state and national competition levels.

Her coaching philosophy centres on developing a love for the sport while focusing heavily on perfecting technique, ensuring that each swimmer excels in the water and enjoys the journey. In addition to her passion for swimming, Kate is currently studying paramedicine at Edith Cowan University, with aspirations to specialise in critical care paramedicine.

INSTRUCTORS / JUNIOR COACHES

NCSC continues to expand our team of Swimming Lessons instructors, some of which also coach our Junior Ducks programs. Their own experience participating in competitive squads is invaluable in their direction of our junior swimmers.

Technical Officials

Technical Officials enforce the technical rules at a swimming competition and include the Judge of Stroke, Inspector of Turns, Check Starter and Clerk of Course. Each Swimming WA affiliated club must have at least one Technical Official, as per the SWA guidelines.

We believe NCSC swimming members should be striving to swim in accordance with swimming regulations. Having ‘guest’ Technical Officials at our Club meets and certain training sessions (when possible) provides timely feedback to swimmers and coaches leading up to inter-club meets.

If you are a Technical Official and are interested in being involved at Club meets, please use the Contact Form with your expression of interest.
