Para Swimming Coach nominee for 2024

Congratulations to David on being selected as one of the nominees for Para Swimming Coaches of the Year 2024

Under David Heathcock’s guidance, Alice Tai has risen to the top of the Paralympic podium - achieving two golds, a silver and two bronze medal haul in Paris.

Within the integrated programme at Ealing Swimming Club, Heathcock has supported Tai in refining technical elements of her racing skills following a 2022 below-knee amputation, with the fruition of that close working relationship witnessed in seeing Tai win a first set of individual Paralympic titles this summer. Golds in the Women’s S8 100m Backstroke and S8 50m Freestyle were backed up by a silver in the Women’s S8 400m Freestyle, and a bronzes in the Women’s SM8 200m Individual Medley and S8 100m Butterfly in an action packed schedule of racing.

Thanks, to Aquatics GB for the report,
