Swim Ireland has appointed Andy Reid as its new permanent national performance director.
Reid, who represented Ireland as a competitor on the international stage, has worked with the organisation since 2010 and was appointed to his current role in an interim capacity last May.
The former head of performance pathways & operations will be responsible for overseeing Swim Ireland's performance strategy, enhancing coach and athlete development pathways, and supporting performance outcomes across major international competitions, including European Championships, World Championships, Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Commenting on his appointment, Reid said: "I am incredibly honoured and proud to be appointed national performance director with Swim Ireland.
"Having been involved in Irish swimming for over 40 years as an athlete, coach and most recently as head of performance pathways and operations, this role means a great deal to me.
"I’m excited by the challenge ahead and the opportunity to build on the strong foundations already in place.
"We have outstanding athletes, coaches and support staff, who are deeply committed to achieving their true potential, representing Ireland with pride on the international stage and challenging for podium finishes."
