Lynn Tonkin (photo right) is the newest New Zealand Water
Polo Manager to come on board.
She has a background in sports management
in variety of sports including; netball, hockey, cricket squash and rowing and
has managed School, Club, Regional and New Zealand teams. In her youth Lynn was
also a coxan (rowing) for 14 years.
Lynn became a New Zealand manager because her
daughter’s school water polo coach is the NZ U15’s Girls’ Coach.
Lynn enjoys water polo because to her it is
a completely different sport with completely new skills and is exciting. Lynn
says she is still learning and understanding the game and has learnt a lot from
Phillip Howat (NZ U15 Assistant Coach) on the bench during games about rules
and strategies.
Lynn has also been to Europe and understands
how big the sport of Water Polo is over there.
Lynn has loved managing the NZ U15 Girls’ Team
“They are a really neat bunch of girls and
the support team behind the girls is amazing”
