Meet The Coach

Nic Lowe - Sports Coach

When you joined

I joined Nippers when I was 9 years old and grew up training, patrolling and racing for Torquay SLSC in Victoria, then transferring to Anglesea SLSC when I was 17. At the end of 2018 I decided to make the move north to QLD, and joined Coolum soon after.

Lifesaving experience

I’ve been an active patrolling member for 13 seasons. I’ve raced within Surf Life Saving at both State and National Level, was lucky enough to race at the American National Lifeguard Titles, and have completed the individual Coolangatta Gold. When I turned 19 I realised ski was my favourite event and fell in love with long distance downwind paddling. I’ve been lucky enough to race the Doctor in WA, the Canadian Downwind Titles, Molokai to Oahu and the Gorge Race in the US.

Key focus for this season

The focus this season is to bring the energy back to the club after the craziness of the last two years with COVID-19. We are really trying to grow numbers both at training and at carnivals, and with it the mateship that develops.

Other interests

When I’m not at the beach you’ll either find me playing with my daughter Elsie, on a tractor slashing paddocks or generally enjoying the outdoors.
