Dion Mepham

​

Appointed Head Coach of Trinity College in 2004, Dion formed Western Sprint SC shortly after and has coached extensively across the complete spectrum of the sport, from setting up the Learn-to-swim through to coaching elite athletes on Australian teams.

​

Dion has coached Australia at the World University Games and Oceania Championships, as well as many youth teams. He has coached Western Australia at National Championships, State Teams, Pacific School Games and School Sport.

Having coached swimmers to over 100 National Championship medals and hundreds of State titles in the last 30 years, his experience has led to a deep mechanical understanding of movement patterns which are adopted by International water polo, lifesaving and surf athletes as well as pool swimmers.

​

Dion believes strongly in holistic coaching techniques that focus on elevating the wellbeing of the athlete above all else. Impeccable technical mechanics, balanced with insightful training methods, develop purposeful and engaged athletes, who excel beyond expectations.

​

He is convinced that engaging properly in the Western Sprint programme will not only produce a better athletic outcome but will provide the athlete with a series of life skills that last long beyond a ‘swimming career’.
