Swim Ireland is facing scrutiny after the BBC 'Panorama' show presented allegations from former swimmers claiming that coach Jon Rudd pressured them over diet and weight issues during his previous tenure in England. Although these serious accusations circulate in the swimming community, Swim Ireland responded by stating that there have been no indications of welfare concerns or inappropriate actions during Rudd's eight years as the national performance director since 2017. Rudd previously served as the head coach at Plymouth Leander Swimming Club for nearly three decades before joining Swim Ireland.
