Report By Dave Crampton<\/em><\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand has disestablished two key positions after losing 30 percent of its high performance funding from April 2017, primarily due to its results at the Rio Olympics, where none of its swimmers made finals.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand Swim Coaches and Teachers Association said the removal of both positions is \u201cunjustified and highly detrimental\u201d to the sport.<\/p>\n

Coach Gary Hurring<\/p><\/div>\n

The federation\u2019s high performance coaching director, Donna Bouzaid<\/strong>, and its high performance athlete development coach, Gary Hurring<\/strong>, will have their positions disestablished from May 6 due to the funding cuts, it was announced on Thursday. Hurring was Swimming NZ\u2019s head coach at both the Rio Olympics and the Kazan World championships.<\/p>\n

However, the federation\u2019s head coach, Jerry Olszewski<\/strong>, who commenced in September after being hired from the United States, has kept his job for now, despite his job description stating that his contract<\/a> is subject to the outcome of the review with High Performance Sport New Zealand, which allocates high performance sports funding.<\/p>\n

Swimming New Zealand, which has no formal key sponsor, lost $400,000 of its $1.2m high performance funding \u2013 more than it expected, according to Swimming NZ board chair Bruce Cotterill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not expect the cut to be so severe and we have spent several weeks following the decision trying to persuade HPSNZ to lessen the severity of the cut and attempting to educate it on the likely impact that a funding cut of this nature would have on our HP programme. Unfortunately, we were not successful in this bid,\u201d Cottreill\u00a0said in a letter to regional board chairs on Thursday,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision has not been taken lightly but has been forced upon us by the size of HPSNZ\u2019s funding cut.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a statement, the New Zealand Swim Coaches and Teachers Association said that the removal was \u201ctwo of the most important positions that Swimming NZ has\u201d and is highly detrimental to the development of the sport. It called for a sustainable, financially viable, easily executed plan, with vision for the future. It also acknowledged the he contribution both have made to the sport<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Board wants to acknowledge the huge contribution that both Donna and Gary have made to these roles. Both the Board and the NZSCTA membership would like to offer our unequivocal support to them both during this difficult time,\u201d board representative David Prattley<\/strong> wrote.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
