Episode Notes

Episode 4 of the Swim Ireland Podcast Coaching Series features John Szaranek, head coach at National Centre Limerick, presently the home of rising star Eoin Corby and London 2012 Paralympian Jonathan McGrath.

The Scot has dedicated his life to swimming, meeting his wife while they both competed at teenagers, starting coaching through his swimming sons, and now moving his life to Ireland to oversee a hugely promising group of potential Olympians and Paralympians in Limerick.

Here he talks about the programme at NCL, how his team and athletes have adapted and coped during the COVID-19 Pandemic, what his best days in swimming have been, and what his hopes for the future are.

The future begins at Irish National Team Trials at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre on April 20.
