Head Coach Appointment - Sacha Djerfi

22 Jun 2023 by CHAIRPERSON OF GALWAYSC

Galway Swimming Club are delighted to announce that Sacha Djerfi will be joining the Club as Head Coach from the beginning of the 2023/24 season.

Following the announcement from John Keogh that he will be stepping down at the end of this season, the Committee has undertaken a thorough recruitment process through which Sacha was the successful candidate. Sacha has vast experience, mainly in the UK but also in other overseas locations, as Head Coach of large swimming clubs in both high-level performance and participation swimming, adopting a swimmer centered coaching philosophy – The Committee believe Sacha will be a fantastic addition to our coaching team.

Sacha has visited Galway over the last few days and has spent time with the Committee and Coaching Team to learn more about the Club and the city. Sacha will be starting in Mid-August, prior to the start of the new season, and John Keogh has committed to help support Sacha in his transition into the role – many thanks John. On acceptance to join Sacha quoted “…I am really excited to join the Club and I can’t wait to get started!!”.

We’re sure that all of our Members will get to meet Sacha soon after he starts and we look forward to giving him a warm Galway welcome.

Yours in Swimming, The GSC Committee
