Our Team

Originally from Alexandra in Central Otago, Liz moved to Dunedin when she was 16 to pursue her swimming career under the famous “Mr. Laing” and the rest is history. A semi-finalist in 200M Fly at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, one of the only two to make it so far, Liz went on to claim silver in the 400M IM at the Manchester Commonwealth Games in 2002.

Having gained degrees in both Physical Education and Marketing, Liz has a love of learning and now enjoys sharing her knowledge with others. Amongst her other interests and hobbies, Liz loves to do some surfing and baking.

Greg has been leading coach development throughout New Zealand and has developed interests in psychological type and learning preferences.

With Greg’s knowledge and Liz’s experience it was a natural development that they would develop Liz van Welie Aquatics.
