home and looking forward to an exciting new challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very nice to be back at the University of Bath,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is a very warm, family atmosphere here and great surroundings with the nature around the campus and a beautiful city just down the hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a very special place and the facilities here are at the very top level for European swimming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had a very interesting sporting life but there is always a sacrifice to be made and mine was spending eight years away from my family as they were still living here in Trowbridge, so I\u2019m very much enjoying being back with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would get back to England a few times a year and would meet up with Mark every time, so I stayed in touch with what was happening here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when Mark first came to Bath. He was a very good junior coach and was the leader of our age-group programme before becoming Head Coach for the University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have stayed in touch for all that time and would exchange training programmes. We have a very good working relationship \u2013 I am happy to share all of my experience and, at the same time, I will learn a lot from Mark too. It is great to be working with him again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do hope it will be interesting for the young swimmers as there is a lot of potential here. The approach to swimming in this country has become a lot more professional since I first arrived here in 1999 and the depth of talent has increased very much, right across the board. I didn\u2019t expect to see so many good student-swimmers on the programme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vorontsov was part of the British Swimming National Performance Centre when he first started at the University of Bath, coaching at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games, then worked on the student programme before becoming Talent Development Coach for both the South West and East Anglia.<\/p>\n<p>He also has a PhD in Biomechanics and is considered one of the sport\u2019s leading authorities on its application in swimming having published more than 100 articles, scientific reports and books on the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Skimming said: \u201cIt is great to have Andrei back in Bath, he is a fantastic coach who has produced top-level results all over the world and his knowledge of the sport is second to none.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI learnt so much from Andrei when I first came to Bath and I look forward to learning much more from him again. I believe this partnership will enhance the programme at the University of Bath dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The University of Bath\u2019s student swimming set-up was the only senior programme nationally to rank in the top ten most-improved clubs at the recent British Swimming Summer Championships.<\/p>\n<p>As well as training in the Olympic-sized London 2012 Legacy Pool, students on the programme also have access to the world-class Team Bath Gym and Physio &amp; Sport Science Centre. They can also apply for sporting scholarships and lifestyle support through the Team Bath Dual Career programme.<\/p>\n<p><em>Press release courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.teambath.com\/swimming\" target=\"_blank\">Team Bath<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BATH, SOMERSET, UNITED KINGDOM &#8211; After eight years of preparing Russian and Swedish swimmers for the Olympic Games, world-renowned coach Dr. Andrei Vorontsov has returned to the University of Bath<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":46,"featured_media":277950,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[10],"tags":[55080,25075,63662,34446,63663,32186,51797,32196,63664,6928],"class_list":["post-277949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-anna-hopkin","tag-british-swimming","tag-dr-andrei-vorontsov","tag-jennie-johansson","tag-mark-skimming","tag-michelle-coleman","tag-russian-swimming","tag-sarah-sjostrom","tag-sweden-swimming","tag-university-of-bath"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
