COACHES

Head Coach: 

Anne Bevan Jones

B.F.A Hons.,B.Ed.,NCCP Level 3,NLS certified

Anne's involvement in competitive swimming began when her parents as coaches began the Chinguacousy Swim Club (now COBRA) in Brampton.  She competed in her first meet when she was 5 years of age.  Anne competed locally, provincially, nationally and internationally in her 15 years of swimming.  She was a member of the Etobicoke Swim Club by age 11 and finally the York University Swim Team.

Anne held several Provincial and National Age Group records in backstroke events and relay events.  She accomplished success in the IM, distance freestyle and butterfly events as well.  Masters swimming still awaits her in the future.

After university Anne went on to pursue a career in teaching at the Secondary school level.  Anne and her husband Greg have two girls, Emily and Hannah.  In 1998 Anne began volunteering with the Orangeville Otters Swim Club once her own children were drawn into the sport.  She enjoyed her return to the deck working with her parents George and Beryl Bevan and her former age group coach Gunter Richter all with OOSC!  In 2002 after 14 years of teaching, Anne decided to leave her headship in the Fine Arts to become the Head Coach with OOSC.  The combination of her experience with teaching children, her philosophy of quality training and her understanding of competitive swimming are well suited for this fast developing club.
