OUR COACHES
Dion Mepham and Adam
They follow the club philosophy that the swimmer comes first.
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’.

Adam Koprowski
Adam is a highly regarded swim coach with a great following at Western Sprint SC. For the last 3 years, he has coached a very successful squad to State Championships, including 5 Gold medals, a great result in such a short time coaching. Adam is a fine technician and a great motivator, having been awarded the Swimming WA ‘Best Club Person’ for WA in 2020. Adam is an accomplished swimmer himself, having placed 4th at the 2019 World Masters Games in the 50m Backstroke. He is a fine role model for young swimmers.
