Inspirational
was the adjective used to describe Jane Asher's motivational
talk that she gave in August to the top people in swimming including the
current Presidents of FINA, LEN, and the ASA as well as past
and current Olympians plus Board Members of ASA and British Swimming
and various other Guests. Jane gave an overview of her swimming life
starting in Northern Rhodesia, in the Zambesi- with crocodiles and hippos.
She described the
attributes you need to be a
good swimmer - flexibility, strength, good technique and told us how she
achieved these. She told the audience how exciting it is to move up an age
group!! She told of successes achieved by people who have started
swimming to help health problems. From the reports of the talk the
audience found her to be very modest about her swimming achievements,
whilst emphasising what pleasure she derives from swimming, teaching and
coaching. She was rightly, very well, received.
