Governing Board
Swim Dunedin (Dunedin Swim Coaching Board / DSCB) is the organisational body in charge of professional swim coaching in Dunedin. Our goal is to provide high quality professional swimming coaching to members of Dunedin watersport clubs through the appointment of coaches and by maintaining athlete development pathways.
Swim Dunedin was established in 2012 by the Dunedin City Council to provide a structured approach to coach and athlete development and relieve the pressure created by competition for water space allocation between professional coaching services.
