Swimming New Zealand will have another new Chief Executive Officer next month when Tennis New Zealand CEO Steve Johns<\/strong> switches sports. <\/span><\/p>\n

Johns would like to unite the sport and make better attempts to attract more swimmers its high performance centre, where swimmers have left due to better coaching opportunities elsewhere. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be looking at getting the best possible swimmers at it,\u201d Johns said. \u201cThey may have to move there as part of being a high-performance athlete.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to spending more than six years heading Tennis NZ, Johns was a regional surf lifesaving CEO, also for six years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe you have to be in a role for a minimum period of time to make a difference,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Johns was also a freestyle national title-holder as a young teenager, as well as a surf lifesaving title-holder, and represented New Zealand in water polo. Water sport has been a big part of his life. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe opportunity to combine my sports management and leadership skills into sports that have played such a big part of my life was an opportunity that I couldn\u2019t resist,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Johns said he was looking to better unite the sport of swimming, citing his ability to successfully unite tennis in New Zealand, he said all changes would take time. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTokyo is four years away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand Chairman Bruce Cotterill<\/strong> said Johns\u2019 appointment was ideal for the organisation\u2019s future at a time where more New Zealand swimmers are internationally ranked.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSteve is a passionate life-long participant in our sport, and he has an excellent pedigree in the business of sports management. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the last four years, the revamped Board and the Management team at Swimming New Zealand have worked tirelessly to turn our sport around. In high performance, we have more young swimmers ranked in the top 50 in the world than any time in the previous three Olympiads.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But one of the first things Johns said he would be doing is talking to High Performance Sport New Zealand, who recently announced it was docking a third of Swimming New Zealand\u2019s high performance funding due to New Zealand swimmers failing to make a final in Rio \u2013 as well as looking at the federations strategic plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c(That\u2019s) some of the first things I`ll be doing when I start,\u201d he said. \u201cSwimming is such an integral sport in New Zealand so the opportunity to help drive Swimming New Zealand to achieve its strategic goals is a great challenge that I\u2019m really looking forward to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand\u2019s High Performance Strategy was updated after the Olympics with a goal of achieving podium results at the Olympics, something the federation has not done for 20 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think the strategic plan has to have targets – whether we achieve them or not, we won\u2019t know until 2020,\u201d Johns said. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Johns will replace Swimming New Zealand\u2019s interim CEO Scott Newman<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
