Dean Boxall is the Head Coach of St. Peters Western Swimming Club in Brisbane, Australia. His swimmers include Ariarne Titmus, Elijah Winnington, Mitch Larkin, Meg Harris, Mollie O'Callaghan, and Abbey Harkin.

"You're trying to beat Katie. There's no cheap gold medals but Katie adds a different value. We pursued that and it was an honor. It was an honor to plan and to talk about it and to dream about it." - Dean Boxall
