Australia’s head swimming coach Rohan Taylor reappointed till 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Australia’s head swimming coach, Rohan Taylor, was reappointed on Friday to lead the country’s powerhouse team to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Taylor played a pivotal role in guiding Australia to a record nine gold medals and 21 medals overall at the Covid-delayed Tokyo Olympics, finishing second only to the United States. He continued to excel at the Paris Games this year, where Australia, under his guidance, secured seven golds among 19 medals.

“I am honoured to be leading the Olympic program to LA and privileged to work with the coaches, athletes, and high-performance leadership that make our Dolphins team successful,” he said. “None of us exist in isolation, and the quest for excellence is ongoing across all programs.”

Taylor’s first priority will be preparing a team for the World Swimming Championships in Singapore next year, followed by the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow as part of the lead-up to Los Angeles.
