	Bill Sweetenham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are many rumours circulating regarding Bill, most of which are not supported by publicly available evidence.
		One of the reasons Bill has been so heavily criticised is that expectations were so high going into Athens Olympic Games because of the huge gains made in 2001-2003.
		The other reason for the media "flout" was, Bill is quoted as saying, to protect rookies such as Melanie Marshall, who had never raced 200m freestyle at international championship level before but went to Athens as fastest in the world.

		From what I have seen and heard from him so far I am impressed, but he needs to be cloned and sent out to all grassroots clubs along with the money to build pools/buy pooltime etc. I've tried some of his ideas on my young swimmers and they have found them fun to do.
		Some also think he keeps going back on his word such as in the Foster getting to swim 50 free at World's case or his statement that the GB programme is all or nothing but then letting some swimmers pick and choose what meets they attend with GB.
		If we are to succeed as a nation we (yes, the small grass roots clubs as well as the elite) need to know what is going on elsewhere and what everyone else is doing (at least we have this forum).
