New swimming coach Shaw has a pedigree at the highest levels
With a wealth of experience under his belt, Shaw will not only focus on helping existing Shires members improve their performance, but is calling out to athletes in local running and cycling clubs to give triathlon a go.
He said: “Swimming’s often the nemesis that puts people off triathlon. But given a bit of swim coaching, runners and cyclists can use their fitness from their favoured sport to make vast improvements in their swimming and unleash their inner-triathlete.”
