2012 Coach of the Year
The Perpetual Trophy and the personal memento for the Coach of the Year are both donated by Dr Kay Cox who is also a
founding WA member and Life Member.
The winning Coach is an accredited Club Coach who has coached all levels and ages over many, many years and returned
renewed enthusiasm to Masters coaching in 2011. Bunbury’s Pamela Hall has been instrumental in improving the level of
fitness and abilities of members at her Club through individual and group sessions since then. Additionally she has singlehandedly been the driver for the increased membership at Bunbury by providing daytime sessions which have attracted many
new members of all ages. Congratulations to Pam.
2012 Official of the Year
The Official of the Year award was established to recognize people who give their time and energy so that swim meets can be
properly conducted according to Masters Swimming Rules.
The winner of this award for 2012 has been involved for many, many years in the area of officiating including delivering
workshops and mentoring new officials, at Club and State levels. Most importantly though he regularly works at swim meets
and open water swimming events and provides his expertise on an ongoing basis to local officials. However our winner Ron
Gray’s most memorable achievement last year would have to have been officiating at the 2012 World Masters Swimming
Championships in Italy. Congratulations Ron.
Both Ron and Pam were presented with awards at the recent Department of Sport & Recreation Industry dinner.
Outstanding Service to Masters Swimming WA
This award was also established in 2000 and was introduced to enable us to say thank you to members who have provided
outstanding service to the membership at State level.
There are many people who provide wonderful volunteer service to our organisation and we try to recognise them all in some
way. This year’s winner is one of the most outstanding volunteers we have been fortunate to have on our team during the
past 8 years. This member has served our sport over many years in different areas and at every level. To go through the
pages of achievements for Fremantle’s Kim Tyler would take the rest of the afternoon. Suffice to say we will mention just a
few of her outstanding achievements:
