After the 2024 Short Course World Championships, there is a shake-up in the upper echelons of Australian coaching.
Storied Aussie coach Richard Scarce will leave Miami Swimming Club and take on the head coaching role at TSS Aquatics.
After leading Miami for the past three+ years, Scarce says goodbye to the city of Miami and looks ahead to the Soutport-based club that once hosted Olympic champion Cameron McEvoy.
Prior to joining Miami, Scarce served as the head coach at Bond University, where he was responsible for talents such as Elijah Winnington, Matt Davis, and Alex Graham.
Scarce most recently has had Jenna Strauch and Maximillian Giuliani under his tutelage, the latter of whom with the 21-established a new Australian record in the 200m freestyle at the 2024 Short Course World Championships.
Scarce also briefly trained the history-making Korean men’s 4x200m free relay which earned its first-ever gold at last year’s Asian Games.
There’s no news yet as to which swimmers, if any, may be following Scarce. We’ve reached out for comment.
The video below gives some insight into the high-intensity tactics Scarce employs to motivate his Olympic hopefuls.
Comparing the final point scores for the two Clubs after the Queensland Open and Age LC Championships last week. Miami finished in 8th place with 2283 while TSS (The Southport School) finished 23rd with 1014.5. So you would expect TSS will be looking to recruit some decent Open and Age swimmers as part of the move by Coach Scarce.
Any word on Palfrey and who’s taking over sunshine coast university?
Announced last week, Michael Sage his assistant coach has been appointed Head Coach for the next 12 months
No way Giuliani doesn’t follow him.
You’d have to think though Giuliani will also want Paul Crosswell to go.
