Levelling the Deck - Ep01 Gender Equity in Swim Coaching
The Levelling the Deck Podcast aims to promote inclusivity and equity in the world of swim coaching and teaching.
In this episode, our host Michael Woods leads a discussion on inclusion and equity for women in swim coaching.
Our guests Joanne Love, Janelle Pallister, Marty Roberts, and Ash Delaney share their experiences and insights on the challenges faced by women in the swim coaching industry.
Some of the topics covered in the episode include:
The current landscape for women in sport and swimming coaching
The barriers and biases faced by women in the coaching profession
Strategies for creating a more equitable and inclusive coaching environment
The role of men in advancing gender equity in swimming
Key takeaways:
Self-esteem plays a significant role in the advancement of women coaches. Those with strong self-esteem tend to progress, while those with low self-esteem often struggle to move up the ranks.
Opportunities and biases also impact the advancement of women coaches. Some women face barriers in terms of employment opportunities and recognition, while biases and stereotypes can limit their growth.
Men have a crucial role to play in advancing gender equity in the swimming sector. They can listen, challenge biases, create space for women's voices, and collaborate with women coaches to create a more inclusive and equitable environment.

Joanne Love: Australian Dolphin, elite coach and researcher
Janelle Pallister: Australian Dolphin and Co-Coach at the Gold Coast High Performance Hub
