Jan Bidrman

Bidrman attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he competed for the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the collegiate swim team.

Graduating in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts in International Business, Bidrman continued his education and received his Masters in Economics in 1995.

Bidrman was a member of the Czechoslovak national team from 1980 to 1985, until his arrival in Sweden where he competed for the Malmö KK swim club.

In 1988, Bidrman was selected as a member of the Swedish Olympic Team, but was unable to compete due to regulations concerning transfer of representative country.

Since then Bidrman has been appointed as the head coach of the Calgary Academy for Swimming Excellence which works towards an “independent vision and plan for the development of continued production of internationally competitive swimmers.” [1] As head coach, Bidrman works in conjunction with the Canadian Sport Center and the carded athletes under his direction.
