Sandra Colquhoun

“For most of history, man has had to fight nature to survive; in this century he is beginning to realize that, in order to survive, he must protect it.”
― Jacques-Yves Cousteau



Sandra "Cousteau" Colquhoun is the leader of the splosh because she is its most experienced swimmer and she is the ultimate personification of the word courage. She is appropriately named after Jaques Cousteau, the famous ocean explorer because she most recently went off her normal migratory pattern to  sail around the world in a ridiculously small vessel! If that evidence doesn't convince you of her supreme courage in the face of adversity, Sandra took her husband with her! I rest my case.

Sandra contributes to the splosh by encouraging extreme rock pool activities such as; swimming in difficult conditions, exercise and fitness management and indeed generally encouraging the splosh to lift its game, so to speak and think outside their rock pool. To this end, Sandra can often be spotted moving out and around the pool environment in order to pit her skills against the conditions of the surrounding local ocean. Sandra exhibits tireless commitment to the ongoing challenge of extending the combined swimming skills of the splosh. Surely, nothing screams LEADER louder than this.
