Coaches

Piranha members get coached by qualified, experienced people across all three disciplines.

Swim Coaches

Mark Waters

“Having misspent much of my youth swimming I decided to give triathlon a bash after over a decade of keeping unfit back in 2007. From sprint to Olympic to middle and long distance triathlons I’ve learnt the hard way that it’s not all about the swim. Combining knowledge from my own experiences and background I feel lucky to be able to work with swimmers of all levels to enjoy their swimming, to challenge limitations, and get more from every hour spent chasing feet.”

“I’ve coached for over a decade, with various clubs, taking groups and individuals in the open water and pools. Level 2 Swim Ireland teaching and coaching, and Triathlon Ireland Level 2 – but I’m constantly learning. Challenging what was, to swim faster, easier and longer, isn’t easy – but it’s about giving it a go, sticking with a change, practicing the simple things, and having fun.”

“Triathlon isn’t all about the swim, but it can be a great way to start any day!”

Run Coaches

Maria McCambridge

Piranha members are exceptionally lucky to have a run coach of Maria’s experience. She puts members through their paces twice a week and advises on everything running. Maria leads both the Tuesday UCD session and the Thursday Irishtown track session.

A few of her accomplishments:

  • 2004 Athens Olympian over 5000m
  • Represented Ireland at the European and World Championships in Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor athletics (3000m & 5000m)
