Bruce has been the Head Coach of the Kenora Swimming Sharks since September 1994, and has been actively coaching swimming at both the Age Group and University levels in Canada since 1969. His teams have won numerous provincial championships, in British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick, and the Ontario Division 2 and Division 3 Team Championships, and the AUAA Men’s and Women’s Championships while with the University of New Brunswick.

Over the years Bruce has coached many Senior National Qualifiers and Canadian National Team members, starting with Shirley Roulston, Brenda Bourke, Janice, Patti and Jim Stenhouse in the mid 1970’s, Cam Reid and Tyler Cant in the early 1980’s, Hilary Seagrave, Megan Seagrave, Michael Hawkes and Olympic Silver Medalist Marianne Limpert in the 1990’s while with the University of New Brunswick, and University of Manitoba Bison swimmers Brandee Alexander, Rodney Thomas and Eric Edie.

Bruce is an NCCP Level 3 certified coach, and holds Bachelor of Recreation Administration and Bachelor of Education Degrees from the University of British Columbia. He has taught at the elementary, secondary and post secondary levels at both the University of New Brunswick and the University of Manitoba. He currently teaches courses in Health Education at the Kenora Campus of Confederation College.

Bruce’s ultimate goal in swimming is to have a Kenora Swimming Sharks swimmer represent Canada at the Olympics, and to win a Team Relay at our Canadian National Championships.
