With the onset of the new Olympic cycle, Swimming Australia has disclosed the coaches and program collaborators now established at its eight high-performance centers.
The entity states that its performance hubs ‘serve a crucial function in the execution of the high-performance strategy, combining facilities, technology, and specialists to design and cultivate world-class performance.’
Focusing these initiatives allows Australia to stay competitive against large nations such as China and the United States, according to Swimming Australia.
Executive General Manager of High Performance for Swimming Australia Greg Shaw remarks, “Our performance centres are where our swimmers improve each other. They have been essential in propelling our Dolphins to podium finishes and record-setting swims at the Olympic, Paralympic, and World Championship levels.”
“The performance programs that train at our hubs are where the remarkable achievements occur and the coaches, swimmers, and support staff involved in these initiatives are the driving force behind our national success.
“The head coaches overseeing our performance programs play a crucial role in this contribution. We have some of the finest coaches globally leading our performance centres, and they are collaborating with the right performance support to maximize our potential for success in the lead-up to the LA Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as Brisbane 2032.
“Strategically, all performance programs focus on five key areas; coaching and technical direction, elite swimmers, daily performance and competition settings, leading performance support, and access to essential facilities and technologies – and I am confident that our performance program head coaches have the capability to position us strongly for the next Olympic and Paralympic quad.”
It is worth mentioning, University Sunshine Coast has designated Michael Sage for a 12-month term. Sage assumed the position last month after Swimming Australia parted ways with Michael Palfrey due to comments made during the 2024 Olympic Games that were deemed anti-Australian.
St. Peters’ Dean Boxall received our 2024 Swammy Award for Oceanian Coach of the Year after successfully qualifying 10 swimmers for the Australian Olympic team, resulting in those athletes collectively winning 18 medals in Paris.
Esteemed British coach Mel Marshall announced last summer that she would be relocating to Australia and leading Griffith University following the long-term leadership of Michael Bohl as he considers retirement.
