The New Zealand swimming team did not win any medals at the Beijing Olympics but coach Jan Cameron still feels optimistic about the future of New Zealand swimming; after all, the team still managed to set 10 New Zealand records, make two finals and swam in seven semi finals. Not since 1996 (Danyon Loader) have the kiwi swimmers done so well.
To improve further, Cameron believes that swimmers need to continue to step up and for New Zealand to improve coaching resources, needing more experienced coaches at an Olympic level.
Cameron is quitting as New Zealand swimming coach to take up Director of Coaching.
