Jennie Bucknell

Behind The Goggles

A well known swimming coach at Prahran Pool and Harold Holt pool, Jennie Bucknell speaks of her career in the pool including a highlight in 2012. At age 45 Jennie qualified to line up against Australia's elite swimmers and swim to qualify for a place in the London Olympic team. Although she didn't make the team, it's such an outstanding achievement to even get into the pool and compete at this level. Especially since some of the other swimmers were as young as 15!
