Martyn Wilby has accepted the new role of senior coach. This leadership position will work in a team environment to support High Performance Director John Atkinson in the areas of technical leadership, performance standards and high performance coach development across the Olympic program.
“Swimming Canada is delighted to have Martyn join our team,” said CEO Ahmed El-Awadi. “His addition will bring additional experience and bandwidth to expand the reach and impact of our strategic plan.
Wilby is the latest high-profile coach to join the team, as Swimming Canada continues to enhance its High Performance program.
“I’ve been really impressed with what John, (National Development Coach) Ken (McKinnon) and the staff have done over the last four and a half years. They’ve obviously changed the culture of swimming in Canada,” Wilby said. “I’m looking forward to working with that team, and helping swimming in Canada further progress.”
