Kelly Perkins

  Podcast Episode – Kelly Perkins Welcome to another episode of the Aquatic Mentors podcast. I am your host, Katrina van Eyk. In this episode I interview a young lady who has been involved in many levels of the Australian aquatic industry and who also spent time swimming and coaching in USA. Kelly Perkins is an experienced Marketing Research Consultant with a demonstrated history of working in the management consulting industry. Outside of swimming Kelly is skilled in Event Planning, Customer Service, Coaching, Advertising, and Sales. She has a bachelor’s degree focusing on Business/Commerce from University of New England (AU). In 2016 Kelly developed a boutique swim school called Nu-Swim in Queensland which caters for children, adults, and competitors alike. At Nu-Swim her students are not trained to a level-based structure. The ‘technique-based program’ is developed to the personal strengths and weaknesses of each student and focuses on the individual’s stroke development and continued improved skills, challenging them to perform well in all situations. I am so pleased to be able to share Kelly’s story and her views on the aquatic industry both pre and post COVID. Due to technical difficulties we had to rerecord the second half of this interview so there may be some changes in our conversation regarding the first country wide lockdown for COVID and then the second COVID lockdown currently being experienced by Victoria. Please share your thoughts on Kelly’s interview on our Facebook page, Aquatic Mentors and you will find all her contact details listed at the end of the show notes. If you want to share your aquatic story, please contact me via my email: [email protected] So, let’s jump in and find out more about Kelly’s journey in swimming.
