CLARE BLACKWELL: Assistant Coach

Background:

Clare recently joined Millfield from The Bolles School in Jacksonville, Florida where she worked with programme whose name in the States is synonymous with producing National, International, and Olympic medallists and champions. There she guided over 25 swimmers to being ranked in the top 16 in the nation for their age group either individually or as a part of a relay including 2 swimmers who were consistently in the top 3. She helped lead the high school team to another State Title and to a number two ranking nationally. The programme also had five athletes compete in the 2008 Olympic Games. Clare’s experience working with Youth swimmers is equalled by her enthusiasm and passion for coaching and she is excited about continuing her career at Millfield School.

Best Swimming moment of all time:

Watching her swimmers break the US national record for the 200 Medley Relay in 2009 with a time of 1.29.79, that is seriously fast swimming.
