Swimming Canada is expanding its Paralympic program staff with the hiring of Michel Berube<\/strong> as the new NextGen & Pathways Coach, Para-swimming.<\/p>\n

The veteran coach and administrator will provide leadership, direction and management of coach-swimmer tandems, and clubs programs on the high performance continuum. He will act as the Head Coach for all NextGen Camp programming, as well as other competitions, tours and camps as directed. As an active member of the High Performance department\u2019s leadership team, he will work within Swimming Canada\u2019s Long Term Athlete Development Matrix and contribute to setting the strategic and operational direction for Swimming Canada\u2019s integrated World Class Pathway.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great to have Michel B\u00e9rub\u00e9 appointed into this critical position for the Para-swimming program. Michel brings a wealth of performance experience into the role and he will be a great asset for coaches and swimmers to work with,\u201d said Swimming Canada High Performance Director John Atkinson<\/strong>. \u201cTo have another experienced coach working with our Para-swimming program is great for all concerned. Michel will have an immediate impact with our swimmers.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He will participate in planning, budgets and forums, including launching a NextGen Coach Forum. His role will also include athlete tracking, regular visitation of identified athletes, coaches and clubs, and establishing key skill development continuums.<\/p>\n

B\u00e9rub\u00e9 is well known throughout Quebec and has held a similar role with the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration de natation du Qu\u00e9bec (FNQ) since 2015. He will continue supporting FNQ in this role as he transitions to a full-time position with Swimming Canada over the coming month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very proud of Michel and he has done great work in Quebec,\u201d said FNQ Executive Director Isabelle Ducharme<\/strong>. \u201cI am confident he will help Swimming Canada achieve its strategic objectives in the Para-swimming program.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

B\u00e9rub\u00e9 coached at Club de natation Gatineau from 2009 to 2015 and has more than 30 years experience as an on-deck coach in Canada. He started his career at Club aquatique Grande-Rivi\u00e8re and has also coached for Markham Aquatic Club and Laval Rouge et Or. A former national team water polo player, Berube\u2019s international coaching assignments also include the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and Eindhoven 2010 IPC World Swimming Championships, and he served as head coach at the Guadalajara 2011 Pan American Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last few years, Michel has been a member of the Competition Review committee with Swimming Canada and the Selections Committee. This exposure to the programming and planning will help him be a leader in athlete development and be a strong addition to our team,\u201d said James Hood<\/strong>, senior manager, High Performance Para-swimming Programs. \u201cMichel will be the bridge from the National Development programs under Coach Janet Dunn<\/strong>, to the National Team Program under Senior Coach Vince Mikuska<\/strong>, and we are looking forward to the skills he will bring to the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
