Head Coach
Jade Gray
Jade Gray is our Facility Manager & acting Head Coach here at St Peter's Aquatics Centre. While we are on the hunt for a new Head Coach our swimmers will be able to continue their training under her guidance. Jade holds a bronze level coaching licence and a Graduate in Sports Coaching from Griffith University. Jade has been in the aquatic industry for 12 years and has worked from being a Learn to Swim instructor, to coaching and then into management.
My coaching philosophy is simple:
To have an environment that encourages our athletes to develop in and out of the pool, and to create outstanding members of society.

SQUAD EXPECTATIONS
Training Standards/Behaviour
All St Peter's/SPCA club swimmers are expected to maintain the highest standards of behaviour at training, swim meets and club nights. Our Primary goal is for swimmers to enjoy themselves, to train hard and be respectful to the coach, staff and fellow swimmers.
Swim Meets
Swimmers in the Competition Squad who wish to compete at QLD State Championships with a goal to qualify for Age Nationals should speak with their coach regarding which swim meets they should attend during the season. We recommend that swimmers enter no more than 2 carnivals a month. All swimmers are required to wear a SPCA swim cap when competing at scheduled meets.
Club Nights
Swimmers from all squad levels are encouraged to attend our fortnightly club nights and participate at the highest standard. Competition Squad is expected to train on the Friday afternoon prior to club night. It is a night where club members and families are encouraged to help with the night, socialise and more importantly have fun.
