Swimming: Talbot to coach Olympians

Double Olympian and Swimming New Zealand's coach of the year Scott Talbot will take up a coaching role at its high performance centre at the Millennium Institute on Auckland's North Shore.

Talbot will work with SNZ's head coach Mark Regan and coach Thomas Ansorg to guide the high performance programme up to and beyond the 2012 London Olympics.

Talbot represented New Zealand at the 2000 Sydney and 2004 Athens Olympics before moving into fulltime coaching after retiring from competition following the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.
