This feature, by Ian Hanson, appears in the December digital issue of Swimming World.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was late evening, July 27, on Day 5 of the World Championships in Fukuoka, and it was a wrap on another world record-breaking night that had the crowd on its feet.<\/p>\n<p>It was a night that had seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimming.org.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Australia<\/a> continue its memorable gold-medal assault in the pool\u2014an assault not seen by the Aussies since 2001, the last time the world came to Fukuoka, the prefecture\u2019s capital on the northern shore of Japan\u2019s Kyushu Island. It was also the year that saw Australia, highlighted by the legendary Ian Thorpe\u2019s six-gold medal haul, conquer the USA for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>On this night, history was repeating itself with another golden era in Australian swimming beginning to emerge.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese fans had long since exited the building, giving way to the custodians cleaning the aisles inside the natatorium, making ready for the next day\u2019s session. In the pool, there were still those last few swimmers rolling their arms over in their final strokes of yet another warm-down.<\/p>\n<p>But in the front row of the grandstand sat a lonely figure.<\/p>\n<p>It was a rare quiet moment for the now famous Energizer Bunny, the mad-cap Aussie swim coach, <strong>Dean Boxall<\/strong>, whose celebration\u2014you might recall\u2014went \u201cviral\u201d after his swimmer, <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>, won gold in the women\u2019s 400 free at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A NIGHT LIKE NO OTHER<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boxall sat proudly by himself, reflecting on a night that saw rare gold to Australia in the women\u2019s 4&#215;200 meter freestyle relay\u2014with all four girls from Boxall\u2019s squad at St Peters Western, one of Australia\u2019s leading swim clubs nestled in a sleepy suburb of Brisbane called Indooroopilly, an Aboriginal name that means \u201cgully of running waters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before Night 5, two of his St Peters all-stars had already pocketed gold in world-beating fashion: the women\u2019s 200 freestyle to rising teenager <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong> and the long-awaited opening night 400 freestyle showdown\u2014dubbed the \u201cRace of the Century\u201d\u2014won by the leader of the pack, his Olympic champion <strong>Ariarne Titmus<\/strong>.

He paused before acknowledging there had been some magnificent individual performances: \u201cKnowing that the Olympic year is the most important, for what they (his team) did in 2023 was incredible\u2014St Peters getting 10 swimmers on the Australian team was a record&#8230;and the 10 who went to Fukuoka all came away with a medal, which was also incredible,\u201d said Boxall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then there was \u2018that relay\u2019\u2014those four St Peters girls, standing up and achieving something that had never been done before!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour girls from one club, winning and breaking the world record\u2014<em>Wow!<\/em> There was a moment of relief and happiness: After the girls won, they held their heads high, but at the same time they were humble as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was watching them, and I knew this was a great moment, but all along I was always thinking of Paris because of what happened in Tokyo (when Australia was favored to win, only to be beaten by China, whose world record set in 2021 was broken by Australia in Fukuoka).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I sat alone in the grandstand, it was a special, reflective moment for me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were swimming for one another, they were training partners all from the same club, who all knew each other, and they were going to fight for one another, for the greater good of themselves and swimming for their country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always hear a lot about Team USA, but this was a moment for Team Australia\u2014my four girls who knew that this night was for the Green and Gold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey felt it, and I knew that they felt it\u2014that\u2019s why it was powerful&#8230;they were never going to let each other down&#8230;they all knew that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOXALL\u2019S BUNCH<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>The \u201cOther\u201d Relays<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>\u201cAnd then I was particularly happy with the other relays, too\u2014my boys, <strong>Kai Taylor<\/strong> and <strong>Jack Cartwright<\/strong>, in the gold medal-winning 4&#215;100 freestyle alongside Flynn Southam and Kyle Chalmers, a relay we had not won for a while.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen three from St Peters in the mixed freestyle relay\u2014<strong>Jack Cartwright<\/strong>, <strong>Shayna Jack<\/strong> and <strong>Mollie O\u2019Callaghan<\/strong>\u2014all this in the year before the Olympics. I\u2019m really proud of the way they have set themselves up (for the Olympics in Paris), and they know what they have to do next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJack has had unbelievable injuries. People would not realize the resilience of this guy\u2014just pushing it and holding it. He went PBs&#8230;he had not done a PB in six years&#8230;and he did it with the Australian swim team, leading off the 4&#215;100 freestyle relay in 47.84&#8230;and he\u2019s back doing a great job. Then there\u2019s <strong>Kai Taylor<\/strong>. I absolutely love Kai\u2014what a warrior, what a work ethic! He is on the up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Arnie<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With regard to the women\u2019s 400-meter shootout and the intense buildup to this race, Boxall admitted that Titmus had not been in the best form during the year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe didn\u2019t need to be unbelievable&#8230;she just needed to be Arnie&#8230;with that great work ethic&#8230;and she actually came into her own with five weeks to go,\u201d said Boxall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArnie said, \u2018Let\u2019s put the afterburners on and really go here.\u2019 She was nervous going into that race (against <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong>, <strong>Summer McIntosh<\/strong> and <strong>Erika Fairweather<\/strong>), but she loves the nerves\u2014she uses it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe can feel it. Other people are like deer in the headlights, but Arnie uses it as a place of just happiness. She was ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew she had the capacity to go that fast, but to be truthful, I didn\u2019t think she would go that low into 3:55&#8230;but she\u2019s <em>Arnie<\/em>!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cMoldog\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>And now, there\u2019s Mollie, who Boxall affectionately calls the \u201cMoldog\u201d\u2014an \u201cassassin in the water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But when she injured her knee stretching on the pool deck at St Peters in the lead-up to the World Championships, the preparation was thrown into disarray.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust when you think things are going well, you just get struck by a bolt of lightning, just to remind you never to get complacent,\u201d said Boxall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am super proud of her: the way she came back to win that 100 again and the 200 in a world record\u2014<em>just phenomenal, just phenomenal!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have had her since she was 15 as well, and (I love) watching the way she has grown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was as green as green can be going to the Olympics in Tokyo\u2014loving that environment and being there for relays. You cannot ask for a better introduction really than going to the Olympics for relays.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLearning what this is all about and then qualifying as an individual athlete at the World Championships and winning and understanding what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Then) going to the Commonwealth Games four weeks later and performing unbelievably there, and you are just starting to grow and to believe in yourself more and understanding yourself as an athlete and knowing what your capabilities are. We still don\u2019t know what this girl\u2019s capabilities are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Shayna<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s <strong>Shayna Jack<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat a story, eh, especially after breaking her wrist and coming in and Mollie was world No. 1&#8230;and then Shayna had the world No. 2 time with her relay leadoff. But now (Hong Kong\u2019s) <strong>Siobhan Haughey<\/strong> is No. 1, Mollie 2 and Shayna 3&#8230;,\u201d said Boxall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see Shayna standing up for Australia is unbelievable\u2014just <em>un-bel-ievable<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd looking good in the 50 with her 24.00 at the back end of the meet&#8230;. Shayna, I believe a few years ago, would not have been able to hold that sort of program. She had swum multiple 100s&#8230;and then the 200 freestyle&#8230;and then the individual 50&#8230;to hold her composure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHer speed for that week without having been compromised was just all class and sheer determination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe loves that environment&#8230;<em>she loves it, mate!<\/em> She loves the big stage\u2014that\u2019s what makes her unbelievable. She has had so much thrown at her over the course of the last four years\u2026and she is just getting better\u2026we have not seen the best of Shayna&#8230;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Bri<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;Nor have we seen the best of <strong>Bri Throssell<\/strong>, who has been on the Australian team since 2012, when she made her debut on the World Short Course team that competed in Istanbul.<\/p>\n<p>She was a semifinalist in the 50 butterfly and just missed the semis in the 100 fly, finishing 17th. But she took home a silver medal in the 4&#215;100 medley as a heat swimmer, helping to qualify the team into eighth place, then finishing second in the final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBri Throssell is the unsung hero (of this group and on the Australian team). Bri is just there, and she has always been there\u2014for 11 years\u2014and now she has come into a program that works really hard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd before the 4&#215;200 in Fukuoka, she said to me, \u2018I\u2019ve never been more nervous in my life\u2019\u2014and that was because of the conversation (we had)&#8230;because conversations change mindsets. She is 27 years old, and she keeps trying to push and find a way to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>* * *<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Boxall does admit 2023 has been a great year&#8230;but&#8230;?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am trying to explain to the guys when you swim well and have a great year, it (can be) a trap as well,\u201d said the \u201cPied Piper\u201d of St Peters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou just can\u2019t get complacent. They know it\u2019s the Olympic year next year. 2023 has been a year of generating confidence, and you just can\u2019t buy confidence\u2014you have to earn it&#8230;and they have earned it in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut they have got to use (that confidence) in \u201924.\u201d Boxall acknowledged, \u201cIt\u2019s been a good year, but I can\u2019t jump up and down about it&#8230;because \u201924 is the ultimate!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dean of Aussie Swimming: Dean Boxall Named Swimming World International Coach of the Year Australian Dean Boxall has been named Swimming World&#8217;s International Coach of the Year.
