Triple Olympic gold medallist Tom Dean has joined the University of Stirling's swimming programme.
The 25-year-old won the 200m freestyle at Tokyo 2021.
He's also been part of Team GB's successful 4x200m freestyle relay team, who won in Tokyo and Paris.
Dean joins the likes of Duncan Scott and Jack McMillan at the University.
Tom, who joins from Bath Performance Centre, said: “I’m really excited to join the programme here in Stirling – there’s a great calibre of athletes here and some very close friends of mine as well.
“I had spent seven years at Bath, and I enjoyed working with coach Dave McNulty, who led me to three Olympic gold medals and multiple World and Commonwealth medals too. But, where I am in terms of my career and personal life, I needed a change. I know Duncan [Scott] and Ben [Higson] really well, and I know a lot of the team too – so Stirling was a logical choice.
“Momentum attracts athletes, but also coaches and personalities do too. You just have to look at the medal board above the pool here, showing all the athletes from over the years – the number of medals continues to grow and grow. That’s testament to the programme here.”
