Today we are revisiting one of my favourite chats with Giaan Rooney. According to Giaan, ‘raising kids’ is the answer to the title question. Apart from being a World Champion, Olympic Gold Medallist, TV Presenter, Sports Commentator, Author, Corporate Speaker, Fashion Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Macadamia Farmer, Mum of Two and Wife of one, Giaan Rooney hasn’t really done much. Nonetheless, we had a good chat. Seriously, this conversation was a fascinating insight into (her) life before, during and after, an Olympic career. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sayyyy whaaa?! We spoke to Aussie gold medal winner Giaan Rooney and get her to confirm some rumours we've been hearing out of Paris. Like is it really true that the pool temperature makes it slower to swim in? Do the medals have pieces of the Effiel Tower in them? And has she really not been back in a lap pool since her athletic days 20 years ago?! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With drownings up 15% compared to last year and 24% compared to the 10-year average, the need for a continued focus on learning to swim is imperative. However, sadly there is a barrier for parents enrolling their little ones in life-saving lessons with more than a quarter (27%) believing lessons are too expensive. To assist families in need, the Swim It Forward initiative aims to reduce the barriers for parents by generating funds to help families afford swimming lessons next year. We will hear more about this topic from SWIMSAFER Week Ambassador and Olympian, Giaan Rooney who will explain about why these figures are so concerning and share her advice for young Aussies who are hesitant to get in the water مع ارتفاع معدل الغرق بنسبة 15٪ مقارنة بالعام الماضي و 24٪ مقارنة بمتوسط 10 سنوات ، فإن الحاجة إلى متابعة التركيز على تعلم السباحة أمر حتمي. ومع ذلك ، للأسف ، هناك عائق أمام الآباء لتسجيل أطفالهم الصغار في الدروس المنقذة للحياة حيث يعتقد أكثر من ربعهم (27٪) أن دروس السباحة باهظة الثمن. لمساعدة العائلات المحتاجة ، تهدف مبادرة Swim It Forward إلى تقليل الحواجز التي تواجه الآباء من خلال توفير الأموال لمساعدة العائلات على تحمل تكاليف دروس السباحة في العام المقبل. سنسمع الى المزيد عن هذا الموضوع من سفيرة أسبوع SWIMSAFER والأولمبية ، جيان روني ، التي ستتحدث عن المخاوف من ارتفاع هذه هذه الأرقام وستقدم بعض النصائح للشبيبة الأستراليين الذين يترددون في الإقدام على السباحة.

Giaan Rooney is a 2x Olympic swimmer for Australia (2000, 2004) who captured a Gold and two Silvers medals. Giaan loved racing and at one point in time, loved training. Her love-hate relationship with swimming is highlighted by the fact that she has not taken a stroke since her retirement. At 15, she erupted onto the scene by winning the 100 Back at the Commonwealth Games. She was driven by the confidence that her workload gave her. She went on to be a vital part of Australia's silver medal winning 4x100 Medley Relay and 4x200 Free Relays in front of the home crowed at the 2000 Olympic Games. A year later, she was crowned the 200 Free World Champion in Fukuoka, Japan. Just 12 months later, after a disappointing Commonwealth Games, she was ready to hang it up. Instead, she made the move from Miami to Melbourne where she ended up training under Ian Pope along side Grant Hackett, Daniel Kowalski, Brett, and many others.

Podcast Episode – Ian Pope Welcome to another episode of the Aquatic Mentors podcast. I am your host, Katrina van Eyk. In this episode I interview an industry professional who has had years of experience in both learn to swim and coaching and has reached the heights of Platinum level swimming coach with swimmers medalling at the Olympics. So please extend a big welcome to the podcast for Ian Pope. While working as a professional musician Ian began his aquatic journey as a learn to swim teacher at the Harold Holt pool and then moved into a coaching role for the Surrey Park club in the early 80's developing both the clubs learn to swim and squad programs. Ian then moved on to Melbourne Vicentre Swimming Club building a name for himself in coaching. He made his first Olympic Swim Team as coach in 2000 for the Sydney Olympics and continues to place athletes on Olympic and Australian Teams.

Today's guest has experienced some extraordinary levels of success throughout her life. As a teenager Giaan Rooney was faced with the choice of diving (pun intended) into a swimming career or pursuing a career in netball. She choose swimming and went on to compete on the world stage, winning an Olympic Gold Medal and breaking a world record amongst other achievements. In this conversation we talk about Giaan’s transition from elite sports into her next career as a TV presenter and media personality. Whilst she has many accolades Giaan shares the raw and honest experience of feeling like she was failing at parenthood after the birth of her son Zander, and the way she is navigating this role as a Mum with both her kids. She also talks about how she believes that insecurities are the root of all evil.

We could have chatted for hours, because there is a depth of wisdom and interest in things that I’m sure you’ll love too as you hear from Giaan Rooney.
