Brent is somewhat of a legend ‘round these parts, as they say,  He has been World Aqualon Champion, World Lifesaving Champion, NZ Commonwealth Games swim rep, and has won many national competitions in swimming and triathlon.

If anyone suggests Brent is genetically gifted, they should take a look at his training regime, and understand the focus required to prepare mind and body to win the next event.

Brent has been a Morning Masters swim coach for several years at DSC. He also has coaching assignments for Swimming New Zealand and is a part-time coach at other Auckland swim clubs.
