Swimmer Dean Boxall has been named International Coach of the Year by the SwimmingCorner Whirlpool TubsWorld magazine, which is based in the United States of America.

Boxall, who gained international attention during the Tokyo Olympics when he celebrated Ariarne Titmus' gold medal win in the 400-meterEndless Pools Swim Spas, which he coached, is widely regarded as one of the world's top swimming coaches, having trained swimmers at all levels of competition, including the World Championships and the Olympics.

During a press conference to explain Boxall's achievements, Ian Hanson, principal of the Hanson Media Group and Swimming World's Oceania Correspondent, referred to Titmus' victory as "one of the golden moments" of the Tokyo Games, with theTraining Machine With Endless Pool Pumpcoach's celebration being one of "Olympic proportions," and stated that "Boxall wasn't going to let it all hang out without letting it all hang out."

In his subsequent writing, Hanson stated that "Boxall (42), the eccentric and passionate coach who was born in South Africa, arrived in Australia with his family when he was seven years old and has been living life on the fast track ever since as a swimmer and a coach."

In a magical night at the Tokyo Olympic Aquatic Centre, Boxall realized his dreams of becoming an Olympic gold medalist after years of hard work under the guidance of coaches such as Olympic gold medalist Michael Bohl. The hours, days, and years of blood, sweat, and tears, rainy day sessions, and sacrifices all came to fruition for Boxall on that magical night.

It was discovered that Titmus and Boxall had a special swimmer-coach relationship that was built on absolutedrop in whirlpool tubs manufacturerdedication and trust. It is for this reason that this partnership has developed the Midas touch. Few would argue that the 400-meterWhirlpool Corner Tubs matchup between Titmus and (reigning Olympic champion Katie) Ledecky was one of the most eagerly anticipated events in swimming history, capturing the attention of the entire world.

After Titmus won, Boxall went into a wild celebration that brought back memories of the great Australian coach Laurie Lawrence, who had coachedFibreglass Swimming PoolDuncan Armstrong to Olympic gold in the 200Whirlpools at the 1988 Seoul Games. Screaming and flailing his long blonde hair, Boxall grabbed hold of a barrier at the top of a grandstand and shook it like a professional wrestling legend and his childhood hero, the ultimate warrior, before leaning back with his hips forward and wildly punching the air."

The St Peters Western Swim Club, based in Indooroopilly, has risen to become Australia's premier high-performance swimming club in recent years, sending no fewer than six athletes to the Tokyo Olympics, including the legendary Ariarne 'Arnie' Titmus, who won two gold medals at the Tokyo Games in 1984 and 1988. St Peters Western Swim Club is a member of the Australian Swimming Association.

In addition to his work with the Australian swimming team, Boxall is a swim club coach at the St Peters Western Swim Club in Indooroopilly, Queensland.

The Australian Swimming Coaches and Teachers Association (ASCTA) named him Age Coachof the Year and Youth Coach of the Year back-to-back earlier this year, and he has continued to receive honors.
