Janet Evans shows off her Olympic gold
|
The coach who guided American legend Janet Evans to four Olympic titles and six world records is to join British Swimming's performance centre.
Bud McAllister will head up a programme for distance and middle-distance disciplines, and joins fellow American Bill Pilczuk, who works on the sprints.
GB performance director Bill Sweetenham said: "Bud will bring a tremendous level of expertise and experience."
The 49-year-old McAllister has coached swimmers to six world records.
His former charge Evans still holds the world records for the 800metres and 1500m freestyle she set in the late 1980s and won four golds at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics.
