About Us

Us is only me, for now ... Eric Hanssen. I have been coaching triathlon since 2002 when I obtained my Level 1 coaching accreditation. I started with a "small" squad of one ITU Junior. After 3 years and my involvement in the newly created South Australian Junior Developement Squad I obtained my Level 2 coaching accreditation.
On my arrival in Victoria in early 2006, I was fortunate enough to meet Mike Gowan, a Level 2 Swim Coach who introduced me to his squad, the Eltham Triathlon and Open Water Squad. Together we lobbied to transform the squad into a club that is now fast growing: Eltham Triathlon and Open Water Club, also known under the "sweet" name of ETOWC.

More than ever interested in the junior development pathway, I am one of the four head coaches in the new Tiers system implemented by Triathlon Victoria for the Junior development squad

My life before coaching was that of a successful age grouper, with several top 5 at the Australian Olympic Distance Championships, a National title in duathlon and a bag full of overall podium and wins in local races.
