After relocating to Western Australia, Two-time Olympic gold medalist Shayna Jack has moved her training base from the loaded St. Peters Western group to the Western Australian Institute of Sport (WAIS).
Jack makes the move alongside her partner, Joel Rintala, who is based in Western Australia as a member of the Australian Men’s Hockey Team.
“This move feels exciting. It’s a fresh chapter, but one that allows me to continue striving for my goals.” Jack said in a report from WAIS.

She joins fellow Australian Olympians Iona Anderson and Josh Yong in a training group led by head coach Ian Hulme, who took the head coaching role at WAIS in late 2025.
“Our role is to support her as an individual while contributing to the strength of the collective team, and to create a performance environment that supports her to train with clarity, purpose and confidence as she works toward her goals.” Hulme said in the WAIS report.
Jack also pointed to the excitement of living closer to her partner, Joel, especially after managing the distance that had previously separated them.
“We have different goals as athletes, but the same focus collectively as a partnership,” Jack said. “Being together makes everything feel better, training, life, all of it.”
Jack recently competed at the China Open last month, finishing 5th in both the 50 free (24.71) and the 100 free (53.89). Jack has also been a vital part of several international relays for Australia, playing a crucial role on both the 4×100 free relay and the 4×200 free relay in Paris, which won Olympic Gold in 2024. She also has earned five long-course world championship gold medals as a relay swimmer.
In addition to her goals in the water, the move to WAIS also signals the potential impact that she can play on the sport as a whole.
‘I want to leave a legacy in swimming,” Jack said. “I want to be part of setting the standard of what elite is, and help foster an environment that aims to succeed on the world stage.”
In 2019, Jack tested positive for the banned substance Ligandrol, forcing her to withdraw from the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, and resulting in a 24-month suspension (after initially receiving a 4-year suspension that was later reduced). She then made her return at the 2022 Commonwealth games, winning bronze in the 50 frees (24.36) and silver in the 100m frees (52.88).
