the move to Sydney last year as head coach of the NSW Southern Performance Centre based out of Sydney\u2019s Sutherland Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But Proud returns to Queensland following Olympic coach <strong>Richard Scarce\u2019s<\/strong> move from Miami to the head coach role at TSS Aquatic (Southport, Gold Coast).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Miami program became one of the most celebrated high-performance centres in Australian Swimming \u2013 made famous by Olympic gold medal coach <strong>Denis Cotterell<\/strong> \u2013 the man credited with the success of so many great champions, led by two-time Olympic champion <strong>Grant Hackett<\/strong> and fellow Olympians <strong>Andrew Baildon, Daniel Kowalski, Ky Hurst, Giaan Rooney, Joanne Meehan, Daniel Smith, Jon Sieben, Toby Haenan <\/strong>and <strong>Thomas Fraser-Holmes amongst <\/strong>a proud history of over 50 internationals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pool christened the Denis Cotterell Pool Of Champions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And in true Cotterell tradition, Proud will focus on enhancing the squad program, training swimmers in the 400m, 800m, and 1500m events, as well as in 5-10km open-water distances under head coach <strong>Paul Crosswell.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_579117\" style=\"width: 765px\" class=\"wp-caption
