Matt Banham joins BSSC coaching team

Posted on: 9th May 2025

BSSC is delighted to welcome Matt Banham to the coaching team.

Head Coach Jamie McLaughlin said: “We are excited to announce that Matt Banham will be joining the coaching team. He will primarily be working with the Age Group Squads, bringing great enthusiasm, energy and experience to the team.”

About Matt: Masters Champion and British record holder

Matt is delighted to be joining the team. He comments:

“After taking a 25-year break from coaching, I have decided to return, driven by my passion for developing future champions. BSSC is a club clearly on the rise, and I am both thrilled and honoured to join the team.

My own journey in the sport has seen me become a National Masters Champion and British Record holder—though I must admit, my 200 fly isn’t quite what it used to be.

I am eager to return to the pool deck and help shape the next generation of talented swimmers. I have previously coached swimmers at all levels, up to and including National Age Group Champions.

I can’t wait to get started and see what we can achieve together.”
