Leigh Nugent

Leigh Nugent is an Australian swimming coach. He was the head coach of the Australian swimming team at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1] Under his leadership, Australia tallied seven gold, five silver and three bronze, its best ever haul at an Olympics outside of Australia, and second only to the team which represented Australia at the 1956 Summer Olympics.
Following the 2004 Olympics, he returned to his previous job as the head youth coach, but took on the top job again in 2009 after Alan Thompson was stood down.[2]
