The Swan Hill Gymnastics Club was formed in 1987 as a small set up and pack up program at a local school and over the years has just continued to grow and develop its programs and services to the local community.
We are a Not for Profit Organisation that provides the opportunity for young children and youths to experience the sport of gymnastics in a fun and friendly environment.
Run by a volunteer committee and support by the members families our club has a very bright future. We continue to fundraise and provide an outstanding service and facilities to the country area.
At present the club operates from a permanent residence 3 days a week offering a large number of classes including; Kindergym, recreational gymnastics, Gymstar and adult classes.
Recently we entered a squad of gymnasts into their first Gymstar competition and they excelled placing 2nd in the team’s events. This emphasizes the exciting direction our club is heading towards and the continued dedication of our coaching staff.
Our services are utilized by a number of local organisations, with an Occupational Therapist conducting sensory classes regularly and working together the club is catering for children with ASD. The special school also overtook classes from our facility and the sporting schools program allows us to showcase our facilities to a large range of schools around our local area and get children involved with the sport.
We are affiliated with Gymnastics Victoria and uphold their vision and 4F’s of gymnastics.

Head Coach
Year Started with Club: 2006
Qualifications: Advanced GFA and Intermediate Kindergym
Interests: Reading, Working on the farm, Playing with grandchildren, going to the gym and teaching gymnastics
Why they I coaching gymnastics: To see children achieve something they thought they would never be able to do. It is a great individual sport for all abilities.
I started coaching in 2016 and now have my Intermediate GFA andKindergym Intermediate Coach qualifications.
I joined the gymnastics club just to help out and be involved in my children’s sport, but I have become a huge fan. Not only for the physical aspect, but also the developmental aspect. I’ve become very interested in the vestibular and sensory benefits of gymnastics and have really enjoyed watching the progress, particularly in the kinder gym participants. I absolutely love it now, and find it very rewarding being able to help children reach developmental milestones.
I began coaching 4 years ago with little knowledge about gymnastics techniques. But after completing my beginner, intermediate and tumbling qualifications, I have gained a large amount of knowledge to pass onto the children I coach.
I enjoy coaching and watching the children improve from week to week and see the excitement on their faces when they achieve a skill they have been working on for a long time. It’s what makes this job so rewarding!!
I started coaching at Swan Hill Gymnastics in 2021. I have my intermediate GFA and WAG accreditation. I used to compete in Trampolining and bring this knowledge into my coaching of gymnastics.
I have been coaching gymnastics for about 3 years and love to see the kids skills improve over the year and everyone having fun. I have both my beginner and intermediate coaching qualifications! On weekends you will see me playing Netball for Swan Hill.
Kobe started coaching at SHGC towards the end of 2020. I did gymnastics at SHGC in 2018 and have also done dance for 13 years and acrobatics for 3 years! As of now I have completed both my beginner and intermediate coaching courses and continue to enjoy helping in the improvement and development of our gymnasts.
We are always looking for new people to join our team. If you love working with kids and believe in
the benefits of fitness, then you should join our team.
