Olympic gold medallist John Konrads has joined the team at Noosa Aquatic Centre.
John astounded the sporting world when at the age of 15 he broke all world freestyle records from 200m to 1500m. He represented Australia at the 1956, 1960 and 1964 Olympic Games, winning gold in the 1500m freestyle at the Rome Olympic Games and bringing home three gold medals from the 1958 Commonwealth Games. His status as a swimming legend is recognised by the International Hall of Fame, the Australian Sports Hall of Fame and at the Sydney International Aquatic Centre. John now resides in Sunrise Beach and is as passionate as ever about the sport he loves. John will be running the NAC’s new evening adult squad. NAC Co-ordinator Stephen James said he was delighted to welcome John. “We recognised a gap in the market for an evening squad and to have John Konrads, an Olympic gold medallist able to deliver this program is fantastic,” he said. Adult squad with John Konrads is held on Thursdays from 5.30pm to 7pm and you can join the squad at any time during the session. Phone 5448 0288 for details.
