Alan Rapley
A former Olympic swimmer has been announced as the new head coach of Lichfield Swimming Club.
Alan Rapley was captain of the 1996 British Olympic swimming team in Atlanta and has a long career in coaching across multiple Olympic sports.
Club chair Helen Dickinson said the move would be another positive step for the club.
“With this appointment Alan brings a vision and experience which will support the already fantastic team of coaches and swimmers as we return to the pool once Covid restrictions are lifted in April.
“Alan’s appointment ensures the continued growth and success of the club.”
