In this episode I interview a young lady who is a big advocate for the regional and rural swimming industry. My guest, Danielle Taylor swam started her swimming journey in her small country town of Alpha which is 14 hours west of Brisbane. Danielle developed her swimming ability in towns seasonal pool and then was given the opportunity to swim for a bigger squad when she moved to Brisbane for boarding school. After her swimming career Danielle moved onto University and studied Medicine and has completed her master’s in Public Health. Danielle draws on the information she has learnt outside the pool to enhance her swim school and the local community. The 8-week swimming program her swim school provides is complimented with her presenting skills when she offers training courses which help residents stay safe and respond to emergencies.
