He replaces <strong>Gary Tan,<\/strong> who left the NTC to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/singapore-swimming-association-looks-inward-in-naming-gary-tan-new-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">take over the Singapore national team in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dingey, 52, was most recently the head coach of Swimming Canada\u2019s High Performance Centre-Vancouver, a position <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/swimming-canada-names-martyn-wilby-interim-coach-of-hpc-vancouver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he left in January<\/a>. He was hired from a field of nearly 20 candidates and will be assisted by <strong>Gustavo Schirru<\/strong> and <strong>Alex Mordvincev. <\/strong>Dingey joined HPC-Vancouver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/brad-dingey-to-join-high-performance-centre-vancouver-as-head-coach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in 2020 after the closing<\/a> of HPC-Victoria, which he had headed. <strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody\u2019s goal is to have success that is repeatable and reliable,\u201d Dingey told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/sport\/swimming-ssa-appoints-canadian-brad-dingey-as-new-ntc-head-coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Straits Times<\/a>. \u201cWe definitely have got work to do, but there is a path here and it can be done by people here in Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Singapore swimming appears to be at an inflection point. It\u2019s unknown if <strong>Joseph Schooling,<\/strong> the nation\u2019s first Olympic gold medalist and first Olympic swimming medalist in 2016, will ever swim internationally again. He struggled at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/joseph-schooling-faces-competition-ban-after-cannabis-use\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was recently suspended for admitting use of cannabis<\/a>. <strong>Amanda Lim,<\/strong> another veteran, was also sanctioned.<\/p>\n<p>The nation has cultivated other talents, though, like <strong>Teong Tzen Wei<\/strong>, who won a silver medal at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, and American collegian <strong>Quah Ting Wen.<\/strong> Dingey is emphasizing the replicability, behind the generational talent that Schooling is.<\/p>\n<p>Dingey is charged with preparing a new crop of swimmers for a busy 2023 that includes the Asian Games, SEA Games and an Asian-based FINA World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan, while also laying the groundwork for the next two Olympic cycles. He also is the conduit between the NTC system, launched in 2015 at the OCBC Aquatic Centre and adding a second location led by <strong>Doug Djang<\/strong> at the Singapore Sports School in 2022, and clubs in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the perspective of high performance, we want swimmers to really fight for that (major meets) spot all the time,\u201d Dingey said, \u201cand the best way is to continue developing really good athletes to provide that upward push and try to take those spots away from people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to ensure our NTCs are in the best possible position to support our athletes and programmes toward the Olympic Games in 2024 and 2028,\u201d Tan said. \u201cBrad brings a proven track record of success and expertise in developing high performance swimmers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian Brad Dingey Hired by Singapore Swimming Association Canadian Brad Dingey has been hired by the Singapore Swimming Association to head its National Training Centre.
