“View from the Pool” is a distinctive series of conversation podcasts between Poolview’s Robin McGloughlin and his guests, who uniquely have all been Lifeguards at some point in their career.

In this episode we venture once again into the southern hemisphere and chat with Australian Aquatics Professional Gary Johnson and Recreation Aotearoa Aquatics Program Manager Tracey Prince-Puketapi

How the Kiwis coped with "the Covid" gets a personal experience airing - the different attitudes between the Health & Safety Culture in NZ compared to those in the UK are discussed as is the Maori Culture, Earthquakes and the infamous "Swim Reaper".

Why the art of "bombing" is actively encouraged in NZ swimming pools and the new super splash skill sets required to perform a "Manu", which is taken a seriously as rugby!

An entertaining and educational podcast from opposite sides of the planet.

Warning - This podcast bring together three different accents that you will enjoy listening to again and again!
