US Swimming Golden Girl Tracy Stockwell (Caulkins) Announced As The New President Of Swimming Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

US swimming legend Tracy Stockwell (Caulkins)<\/strong> OAM has been named today as only the second ever-female president of Swimming Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And it could well herald a major shift in power in Australian Olympic sport.<\/p>\n

Stockwell, 59, who married Australian Olympian Mark Stockwell<\/strong>, takes over the leadership reins from dual Olympic gold medallist Kieren Perkins<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the newly appointed CEO of the Australian Sports Commission.<\/p>\n

She becomes the first female president of Australia\u2019s most successful Olympic sport, since the late Evelyn Dill-Macky<\/strong>, who led swimming from 1992 through the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.<\/p>\n

Her appointment also follows her Federal Government nomination to join the Board of the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (BOCOG).<\/p>\n

And in what could well be major coup of Olympic proportions, husband and fellow LA Olympian Mark Stockwell<\/strong> is being touted as a popular choice to take over as the new president of the Australian Olympic Committee \u2013 a role left vacant by Australia\u2019s \u201cMr Olympics\u201d John Coates<\/strong> AC \u2013 who is stepping down from the long standing role he has held since 1990.<\/p>\n

Caulkins was regarded as the greatest American swimmers of her time \u2013 winning three Olympic gold in LA in 1984, five World Championship gold in Berlin in 1978 and a remarkable 48 US National titles in a stellar career – after missing the 1980 Games due to the US boycott of Moscow.<\/p>\n

Her remarkable achievements in the pool were recognised in 1990 with her induction into both the US Olympic and International Swimming Halls of Fames.<\/p>\n

And after her marriage to Mark Stockwell in 1991, Tracy set up her future in Australia, raising the couple\u2019s five children and becoming a highly respected Brisbane-based sports administrator.<\/p>\n

Having first joined the Swimming Australia Board of Directors in 2016, Stockwell will lead the sport into an exciting decade of opportunity on the path to Brisbane 2032 \u2013 while overseeing the reforms of providing a safer sport for all.<\/p>\n

Stockwell will preside over a Board of Directors charged with delivering 46 recommendations from last December\u2019s independent panel report into a wide range of issues including the treatment of females – prompting an unreserved apology from Swimming Australia.<\/p>\n

The new president told The Weekend Australian<\/em> newspaper that Swimming Australia acknowledged: \u201cThere have been some negative experiences for people in the past, and particularly some females. And we\u2019re truly sorry for that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we welcomed the independent panel report and their findings and believe that the recommendations will provide a strong road map for our commitment to continually improve our sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe board is very committed to that. And to ensuring that for all athletes, from little Archie at his first club nights to those who are competing at the highest level on the world stage, that it\u2019s a safe environment and a positive experience for the participants.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tracy Stockwell said it was an honour to take on the role as President with swimming set to launch off the platform provided by an outstanding Tokyo Olympic Games.<\/p>\n

\u201cSwimming has played such an important role in my life, and I feel privileged to take on a role that will empower me to give something back to the sport that has provided me with so many opportunities,\u201d Stockwell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our Olympic and Paralympic athletes continuing to inspire, we have a collective responsibility to fuel the passion of those millions of Australians who love to swim from the grassroots through to the elite, and continue to unify our broad community.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we begin the journey to Brisbane 2032, we must do everything within our capability to fulfil our vision to be globally admired for our performance in and out of the water.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stockwell began her professional career with the Queensland Academy of Sport (QAS) where she worked for two years before assisting in the establishment and operation of several family businesses, including Splash Leisure.<\/p>\n

Stockwell is a founding member and past president of Womensport Queensland, has served on the Board of Queensland Events Corporation and as Chair of the Queensland Academy of Sport, as well as being a former member of both the Queensland Advisory Board for Women and Brisbane City Council Sports Advisory Board. She is also a current member of the Advisory Council for The Committee for Brisbane.<\/p>\n

She was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to sport as an administrator and proponent of sporting opportunities for women.<\/p>\n

Swimming Australia CEO, Eug\u00e9nie Buckley,<\/strong> said Swimming Australia was fortunate to fill such an important role in the sport with someone of Stockwell\u2019s calibre.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an athlete Tracy was an icon of swimming and, in the time since, has forged a path as a champion of change that now sees her as one of the most respected and renowned sporting administrators in the country,\u201d Buckley said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we are to take full advantage of the opportunities afforded to us on the path toward a home Olympic Games then we must have the very best people in our sport, and I have no doubt Tracy\u2019s significant experience and influence will be an enormous asset in her role as President.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stockwell\u2019s appointment sees Swimming Australia with females jointly holding both the presidency and the CEO (Executive Director) roles at the one time, for only the second time in the sport\u2019s decorated history.<\/p>\n

One of Australia\u2019s most respected administrators, Vena Murray <\/strong>served as Swimming\u2019s executive officer during Dill-Macky\u2019s time as SAL\u2019s president in the mid 1990s \u2013 an era which saw the sport enter one of its most successful eras under Head Coach Don Talbot.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tracy Stockwell\u2019s reign takes effect from this Monday, February 14, while husband Mark will have to wait until the Australian Olympic Committee\u2019s Annual General Meeting presidency vote on April 30 to learn his fate – but a man who is driven by Olympic ideals who will have the athletes every interest at heart.<\/p>\n

It’s a key vote for the future of Australian sport that will drive Brisbane’s march towards 2032 – a vote that remains in the hands of Australian Olympic sports.<\/p>\n

If successful Mark Stockwell would become the third AOC president from the sport of swimming – joining inaugural AOC president James Taylor<\/strong> (1920-1944) and Syd Grange<\/strong> (1977-1985).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
