Hannah Posnett

Hannah Posnett

Swimming Coach

I’m a Pom who pretends to be Aussie. I have always been addicted to training in one form or another, passionate about events and helping people achieve both personally and professionally.

My partner gifted me an entry into Karri Valley Triathlon our first Christmas together. Little did I know he entered me into Open Long Course and I had to buy a wetsuit on the way down to the event! I had eight weeks to train but loved every moment.
No day of training or event is ever the same. There is always something new or exciting. I have also met some incredible people along the way who are equally as crazy as me!
I love a good swim and hilly bike ride.
