Worldwide Search For Olympic Medal Winning Coach To Spearhead Sydney University Performance Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n

New South Wales sporting administrators are confident of attracting a high profile Olympic medal winning coach to spearhead its latest high performance collaboration with Sydney University.<\/p>\n

The Sydney University Swimming Performance Centre will elevate the performance of talented student athletes from across New South Wales, providing clear pathways for swimmers pursuing academic and athletic goals to the highest level.<\/p>\n

Sydney Uni Sport, the NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) and Swimming NSW have joined forces to establish its latest Performance Centre as part of an ambitious plan to have NSW swimmers on top of the podium in front of a home crowd at the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games<\/p>\n

The commencement of the Performance Centre is subject to the recruitment of a world class high performance coach to lead the program and to drive the State\u2019s swimming resurgence and Swimming NSW chiefs are confident of attracting a high profile international coach for the role.<\/p>\n

Swimming NSW Performance Centres provide high performance environments led by internationally recognised coaches, with eligible student athletes to be supported by a combination of Sydney Uni Sport\u2019s Elite Athlete Scholarship Program and NSWIS scholarships.<\/p>\n

The Sydney University Swimming Performance Centre is the latest addition to the existing Performance Centres located at the University of Newcastle, the Australian Institute of Sport, Sutherland Leisure Centre and Sydney Olympic Park.<\/p>\n

Swimming NSW CEO and Sydney 2000 Olympic silver medallist Kirsten Thomson<\/strong> OLY said: \u201cSwimming NSW is thrilled to announce the Sydney University Swimming Performance Centre. We are grateful to our partners for believing in our vision to return NSW to number one for performance in the pool and confident we will recruit a world class coach to lead the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe prospect of our two university partners (Sydney University and Newcastle University) working together to support swimmers across the state will create a unique environment that will strengthen our performance on the international stage and provide new opportunities for our swimmers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The University of Sydney has a long and prestigious history of sport, whilst also being regarded as a world leading university.<\/p>\n

Since 1912, Sydney University has supported over 224 Olympians and Paralympians including 44 athletes and coaches at the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Performance Centre is the next step in Sydney University Sport\u2019s mission to strengthen the role of university sport within Australia\u2019s high-performance pathways whilst providing high quality education.<\/p>\n

Sydney Uni Sport CEO Ed Smith<\/strong> said: \u201cAs CEO of Sydney Uni Sport, I\u2019m thrilled to announce our collaboration with the NSW Institute of Sport (NSWIS) and Swimming NSW to launch a Performance Centre that is designed to elevate our swimmers to world class competitive standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis ambitious initiative aligns our resources, coaching expertise, and facilities to ensure that our athletes are not only representing Australia but are reaching their full potential both professionally in the workforce and athletically on the Olympic and Paralympic stages right here in Brisbane in 2032.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis partnership underscores our commitment to developing top-tier athletic talent and offering our student athletes the holistic support they need to excel. Our collective vision is for New South Wales to become the home of Australia\u2019s fastest and smartest swimmers.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether we hope to inspire excellence in our swimmers, setting the stage for Sydney Uni Sport to play a central role in a new era of Australian swimming\u201d.<\/p>\n

The NSW Institute of Sport has a proud history of success in the pool, supporting Olympic and Paralympic greats including Ian Thorpe<\/strong> AM and Matthew Levy<\/strong> OAM.<\/p>\n

During the 2024 Paris Games NSWIS recorded the 100th<\/sup> Olympic medal won by one of its scholarship holders when University of Sydney student, William Yang, was awarded a silver medal for his role as a heat swimmer in the 4 x 100m freestyle event, while Para triathlete\/cyclist Lauren Parker recorded NSWIS\u2019s 200th<\/sup> Paralympic medal.<\/p>\n

The establishment of a Performance Centre within a university environment is one of several strategies to ensure NSW swimmers shine at the 2032 Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
