Jamie Main is leaving his role as Aquatics GB National Coach at the Bath Performance Centre.
Main joined up with the team in Bath in 2022 and oversaw a key role through the rest of the cycle into the Paris Olympic Games, including coaching Kieran Bird to Olympic gold as part of the victorious Men's 4x200m Freestyle Relay. He is now taking up the position of Director of Swimming at Repton School, having previously spent the majority of his coaching career in the East Midlands, at Nova Centurion and subsequently bringing through the likes of World Championship medallist Jacob Whittle and European medallist Imogen Clark at Derventio Excel.
Jamie also spent time with Aquatics GB at the Loughborough Performance Centre, while he has been a regular on senior international coaching teams in that time, including at his debut Olympics in the summer.
Speaking on his time at the Centres and his impending move, he said: "Working at the Performance Centres in Bath and Loughborough over the last four years has been an honour. Walking on deck as a National Coach to work with world-class swimmers had always been an ambition. To be selected as an Olympic coach and guide a swimmer to a gold medal in Paris was a very proud moment.
"I will always be grateful for the experiences that working for Aquatics GB has given me, and I want to say a huge thanks to the leadership, staff and swimmers. I'm excited for what my next chapter will bring at Repton Swimming. It's a programme with ambition which has progressed significantly since its inception in 2019. I'm looking forward to becoming a dad for the first time and returning to the Midlands. I'm sure life will bring lots of new adventures in the years ahead."
Aquatics GB Performance Director Chris Spice added: "Jamie played a crucial part at the Bath Performance Centre across the Paris Olympic cycle and was a valuable member of the coaching staff throughout multiple international meets, including in Paris this summer. We wish him all the best for the future and look forward to seeing the impact he makes in his new role at Repton."
