Kaila Warner
Kaila has been involved in competitive swimming since she was 8 years old, competing and medaling at State Level competitions in the pool and Open water. Originally from Busselton, she grew up being a part of country training programs which allowed her to travel throughout Western Australia to compete. During this time, she captained her club for several years and assisted with coaching junior athletes.
Kaila's past experience in swimming developed her love and passion for the sport and provided her with opportunities to be coached by some of the best coaches in the country. This has allowed her to become knowledgeable about stroke technique and the qualities needed to be an elite level swimmer.
In 2021, Kaila moved to Perth to undertake a Bachelor of Health and Physical Education degree at university with the endeavour to expand student knowledge and qualities through sport. She also applies these attributes to her philosophy of coaching at Scarborough Beach Swimming Club. Here, she aims to not only pass on her knowledge to improve our swimmers’ abilities to perform at elite level competitions, but also aims to help them develop valuable life skills and a love for the sport.
