Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> and the St Peters Western<\/strong> club are among those denying Australian newspapers allegations of ‘Bullying and Fat-Shaming’ on coach Dean Boxall<\/strong>‘s beat, while Swimming Australia is among organisations unable to find any record of complaints, allegedly made by parents, reported in the press (Craig Lord writes<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Important to highlight and expose any wrongdoing and bad practice out there. Just as important to back up allegations with hard evidence, if there is any. Just as important to report on the other side of the story, the culture in question, the views of leading swimmers in the program, the policies and open statements from the programs and people being accused.<\/p>\n

It was February when we read “How Dean Boxall rose to be one of swimming’s new rockstar coaches” by Phil Lutton in the SMH.<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a couple of days ago that we read in the Australian Sunday Mail<\/em> (some reports are behind paywalls but \u00a0the Australian Sunday Times<\/a>\u00a0version can be read at press-reader) of parents complaining of Boxall’s allegedly “military style program”, in which swimmers “have been fat-shamed, bullied and left seeking professional help”.<\/p>\n

The Other Side of The Story<\/h3>\n

Ian Hanson<\/strong>, media officer for Swimming Australia for many years and has worked with numerous big names. Of late, he was tabbed by Shayna Jack to help her navigate the media process during a time of great intensity after a positive test. Jack intends to fight her case, one that looks set to end up at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Hanson penned an account of a day spent working with Shayna as the young Queensland swimmer and her legal team met the media this past week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, as someone with deep insight into Australian swim club programs down the years, Hanson reports on the reality on the ground, grants, with Swimming World, the club and swimmers a right of reply and explains why he feels accounts of the St Peters Western swim program – which boasts the likes of Ariarne\u00a0Titmus, Mitch Larkin, Clyde Lewis and Jack Cartwright<\/strong> – are well off the mark. Hanson, who also works for the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association, reports on the inquiry inside the St Peters Western club that concluded, in wake of the latest news reports: “A review of our records and investigations with staff have been unable to find any complaints received by St Peters Western”. <\/em>He also brings us the words of Titmus and others in support of coach Boxall’s program.<\/p>\n

Australian swimming\u2019s latest prodigy, world champion Ariarne Titmus<\/strong> has led a flood of support for her coach Dean Boxall after damning anonymous front page claims, targeting him and the St Peters Western Swim Club<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cowardice claims fired from a disgruntled parent at Australia\u2019s No 1 swimming club, the most successful high performance program in the country and Australia\u2019s Coach of the Year \u2013 41-year-old Boxall.<\/p>\n

The page one headline in Queensland\u2019s only Sunday paper, the Sunday Mail<\/em> has already won its only award for the worst beat-up in Australian sport in 2019.<\/p>\n

A coaching staff that includes, assistant coach, Athens Olympic triathlete Maxine Seear<\/strong>, who spent yesterday with her squad at the Brisbane Short Course Championships at Sleeman Aquatic Centre, with Boxall still on leave.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a squad that includes world champions Titmus, Mitch Larkin and Clyde Lewis, Commonwealth Games gold medallist and aspiring Olympian Jack Cartwright, amongst a plethora of emerging talent \u2013 four of whom will take part in the Fina World Junior Champion ships in Hungary this month \u2013 the most of any club in the country.<\/p>\n

The club was quick to set the record straight.<\/p>\n

\u201cA review of our records and investigations with staff have been unable to find any complaints received by St Peters Western,\u201d it said on its Facebook page.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cDiscussions with Swimming Australia have confirmed it has not received any formal complaints of any matter with respect to the St Peters swimming program and have only recently received a copy of the anonymous letter sent to the media. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs no names or contact details were provided Swimming Australia (and subsequently) were unable to conduct any follow up with the author.\u00a0<\/em>As we are dealing with children and mostly minors we will not be discussing any specific matter with media and need to respect the privacy of our swimmers. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs families know, we always ask and encourage any athlete or their parents to raise any concern or complaints directly to the College where they believe these standards have not been met.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Titmus took to her Instagram last night to thank her team, her family and her coach, after returning to Brisbane from the Fina World Championships with two gold, one silver and a bronze and a world record in the 4x200m freestyle relay \u2013 a successful campaign \u2013she owes to one man.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you to my super coach Dean Boxall, my rock!\u201d wrote Titmus.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou not only create the best swimming program that enables me to race the world\u2019s best athletes with confidence, but you guide and coach me in a way that mentally prepared me for the pressures of representing our country.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI walk into training every day with a smile due to the unity and environment you have created within our swimming club. Let\u2019s keep working hard as we prepare for the ultimate next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The St Peters Western Club, run out of the SPW Lutheran College on the outskirts of Brisbane\u2019s leafy Indooroopilly, clarified its position with this statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe welfare of our athletes is the #1 priority of the club.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf parents or members have any concerns regarding anything to do with the College or swimming program then it is important that they be raised so we can investigate and action where necessary.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAt SPW we do not tolerate the bullying of anyone by. Speaking with other committee members there has not been a single reported incident of bullying within the swimming program;<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAt SPLC and SPW we do not tolerate fat shaming of anyone by anyone. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a high performance club our Coaches will at times discuss fitness and body mass to our high-performance swimmers during training as part of their overall preparation for major meets throughout the year, but this is always undertaken with sensitivity to ensure athletes understand this is part of the necessary development to achieve the best result for the swimmer.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOur club does not conduct \u201cpublic weighings\u201d\u2026..ever!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cOnly those swimmers who have been selected for the National team are weighed and have skin fold tests performed by the Queensland Academy of Sports on behalf of Swimming Australia as part of the National program, or athletes that are on camp are weighed. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAll weigh-ins are conducted 1:1 in a private space by a professional physiologist.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe only occasion where athletes were weighed poolside and weights were shared was at a session approximately four years ago when the Club engaged a hydration expert who was demonstrating the importance of hydration during training and athletes were weighed before and after the session with the results shared poolside amongst all on the day. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was to highlight the importance of keeping hydrated during intensive training and swimmers that the level of dehydration can vary significantly depending on the athlete.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe College separately does have an outstanding fitness and conditioning program at the College\u2019s gym facility which is used by all sports within the College. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs part of the strength and conditioning program a series of measures recorded for athlete personal profile. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is conducted individually by conditioning experts every two months and no information is discussed or shared between athletes.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a high performance club we provide significant resources to the support of our athletes including access to physio, psychologists and have extensive access to third party specialists. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore all students at the College also have access to additional support resources including counsellors etc.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Comment:<\/h3>\n

You have to feel for Titmus \u2013 who joins Jenny Turrall, Tracey Wickham, Hayley Lewis, Giaan Rooney, Jodie Henry, Libby Trickett<\/strong> and Cate <\/strong>and Bronte Campbell<\/strong> as our only female freestyle world champions since 1973.<\/p>\n

She has returned with mixed emotions swirling through her 18-year-old head after the meet of her life; but having to deal with a positive drug test, returned by her room mate and club mate and allegations against her coach and her swim club.<\/p>\n

She should have had a ticker-tape parade through the streets of Brisbane, but now with just another few days off, Titmus will return to the pool to prepare for her foray into the world of the ISL (The International Swimming League).<\/p>\n

And with a club with an Olympic honour roll that started under legendary coach Michael Bohl<\/strong> back in 2004 and has produced a who\u2019s who of Olympic and world champions through 2008, 2012 and 2016 \u2013 2020, 2024 and 2028 awaits.<\/p>\n

Support rolled in for Boxall led by ASCTA \u2013 the Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association<\/strong> – the governing body of coaches in this swimming crazy country that has been torn asunder in recent weeks \u2013 standing by their man.<\/p>\n

Among the coaches lining up to support Boxall today include ALL of Australia\u2019s current and recent National coaches \u2013 led by current Head Coach Jacco Verhaeren, Alan Thompson, Leigh Nugent, Bill Sweetenham, Laurie Lawrence<\/strong>, Olympian and coach Janelle Elford<\/strong> and Boxall\u2019s mentor Bohl himself and\u2013 the man who put the SPW club on the international map.<\/p>\n

They all know the road that Boxall has trodden and the squad that he has built up \u2013 a modern day Lawrence \u2013 an eccentric character \u2013 a trait that goes with so many swim coaches.<\/p>\n

Respected Sydney Morning Herald<\/em> and The Age<\/em> swimming and Olympics writer Phil Lutton<\/em> wrote before the Fina World Championships:<\/p>\n

\u201cAustralian swimming should well appreciate Boxall, because his special bond with the brilliant Titmus may end up being one of its great stories.\u00a0With the Tokyo Olympics bearing down at a rate of knots, the duo are about to embark on a ride both have dreamed of since they began in the sport.\u00a0At just 18, Titmus will go head-to-head with US icon Katie Ledecky at this year’s World Championships in Korea and then in Tokyo in 2020. She’s already demolished the Australian 400m freestyle record and stalked Ledecky at the Pan Pacs last year, getting closer than anyone in history as the pair swam one-two.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cNot all coaches can get the best out of all of their swimmers. Olympic silver medal back-stroker Mitch Larkin is one that has sought the help of Boxall to reignite his career. But when it comes to Titmus, Boxall has always been able to channel the right wavelength as she tore down record after record on her rise up the world rankings.\u201d<\/p>\n

“When I was first coaching her, I never thought she could be as good as she is now. But she had this character of being able to sustain work and be so consistent with her approach. She loves training. She loves all of it. A lot of swimmers just love racing. She loves all of it,\u201d said Boxall.<\/em><\/p>\n

“She’s one of the only athletes I have that I push to another level, because she thrives on that. If I went easy with her, I don’t think she would be where she is today.<\/em><\/p>\n

“We have a fantastic relationship because she fully trusts what I do and I trust that whatever I give her, she gives it 100 per cent. I know she is doing everything right.”<\/em><\/p>\n

With success comes pressure. Ledecky comes to the table not only with brilliance and dedication but the entire weight of the US coaching and performance machine in her corner. Titmus has yet to set foot in an Olympic pool and Boxall has yet to train one of its champions.<\/em><\/p>\n

“It’s daunting. Here is an athlete that fully trusts what you are doing. If I decide that I go on another path? She would do that, because she trusts me. What if I get it wrong? She executes the plans I create faithfully.<\/em><\/p>\n

“But what an honour. What a privilege. As a little kid, she always dreamed of going to an Olympics. She has to be that little kid. What an honour that I’m not only going to an Olympics but I’m racing a true champion in a hyped-up race.<\/em><\/p>\n

“I have to think the same. As an athlete, I always wanted to go to an Olympics. I never made it. Hopefully I can go now. You just have to honour that and enjoy the privilege.”<\/em><\/p>\n

What happened in Gwangju is another chapter in the storied success of swimming in Australia\u2026..<\/p>\n

I witnessed the eccentric coaching antics of Laurie Lawrence \u2013 and the 1984 and 1988 Olympic gold medal success stories of Jonno Sieben and Duncan Armstrong just as I have witnessed the equally eccentric methods of Dean Boxall.<\/p>\n

But you get the feeling history just might repeat itself in 2020 swimmers that keep turning up every day with a smile on their face\u2026and arriving home with medals around their necks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
