Passages: Swimming in Australia Mourns The Passing of Pioneer Swim Coach Myee Baumer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swimming in Australia is mourning the loss of much-admired coaching pioneer, Myee Baumer, who has passed away peacefully at Narrabeen\u2019s RSL Retirement Village, in Sydney. Myee was 85.<\/p>\n

\"\"

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: Myee Baumer (nee Arnold) State and National swimmer at Drummoyne.<\/p><\/div>\n

A trailblazing coach at all levels who taught thousands of Aussie kids to swim \u2013 setting them on a pathway to an asset for life \u2013 and for some \u2013 including her own daughter Susie Baumer<\/strong>, on the road to the Olympics.<\/p>\n

Myee, along with her husband Rex Baumer,<\/strong> built their lives around their love of the water and their passion for swimming, leaving an indelible mark on the sport.<\/p>\n

This passionate pairing managed swim centres and ran swim squads in all parts of Australia – from Wagga (where they built the town\u2019s first indoor learn-to-swim centre), to Inverell, Narrabri and Albury in NSW; Moe in the La Trobe Valley in Victoria, and Carina-Chandler Club, Langlands Park Pool and Wynnum Manly in Queensland.<\/p>\n

It was in these aquatic environments that Myee honed her skills as one of the finest coaches in the country \u2013 a trailblazing female coach \u2013 admired and respected by her peers.<\/p>\n

Known for her technical nous and compassionate care for her swimmers, Myee taught thousands of children to swim and nurtured in them a love for the water that would continue throughout their lives.<\/p>\n

Many of these children would go on to become State and National champions and compete successfully internationally.<\/p>\n

Susie Baumer, went on to become a two-time Olympian in 1984 and 1988 and dual Commonwealth Games gold medallist in 1982 and 1986.<\/p>\n

\"\"

ALL-STAR LINE UP: Myee Baumer (nee Arnold) with Dawn Fraser John Henricks, Jan Murphy<\/p><\/div>\n

Myee was also no slouch in the water herself; having been a State Champion who trained with the legendary Dawn Fraser <\/strong>at Sydney\u2019s Drummoyne Swim Centre where her photo is still proudly on display.<\/p>\n

Myee will be greatly missed by the swimming community \u2013 quite simply, Myee loved her swimming coaching, she loved her swimmers,\u00a0and they loved her.<\/p>\n

Her daughter, Susie, reflecting on her mother\u2019s life and legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a dedicated coach and mentor, my mother had an innate talent for recognising potential in others,\u201d said Susie.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was not just a parent but a guiding light, instilling resilience and courage in her children and countless young athletes.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her career, Myee also assisted internationally renown coaches Laurie Lawrence, Bill Sweetenham<\/strong> and her brother Eric Arnold – <\/strong>who would put Hunter, NSW on the swimming map.<\/p>\n

Olympic gold medal coach Sweetenham, paying tribute to Myee, saying his life had been enriched in his meeting with the Baumer family on their arrival into Queensland.<\/p>\n

\u201cMyee and Rex took the position at Carina in Brisbane where I had worked for several years as the coach of many great athletes which included (world beating 800 and 1500m champion) Stephen Holland<\/strong>,\u201d said Sweetenham.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy knowledge and everlasting friendship have endured since those days from 1978.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went on to coach both Susie and her now husband (Commonwealth Games silver medallist) Tim Ford when they trained with myself at the AIS in Canberra.<\/p>\n

\"\"

WOULDN’T READ ABOUT IT: All in the family in Newcastle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cBoth families are very close to my heart. Myee was an excellent person who also happened to be a friend and a fantastic coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe matriarch of the Baumer family, supported everything positive in life and her chosen career as an accomplished coach.\u201cFew could equal Myee as a person, parent, partner and coach.<\/p>\n

Myee is survived by her husband Rex; children Lisa, Susie, Jason, and Terry; 12 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, and her little dog Bella, who might be tiny in stature, but feisty when she needs to be \u2013 much like Myee!<\/p>\n

A funeral Service for Myee Baumer will be held at 2.00pm, tomorrow Wednesday August 7, at the Chapel within the RSL Retirement Village at Narrabeen.<\/p>\n

The service will be live streamed and can be accessed via this link: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@rslchapel6967\/streams<\/a><\/p>\n
