Dick Caine has trained many Australian sports men and women over his 40 year career. This website will try to chronicle his life's work as a tribute to a great Australian.
Susie Maroney is perhaps the most readily recognizable of Dick Caine's prodigies. Susie captured the world’s attention in June 1999, when she completed the world’s longest open water swim, from Mexico to Cuba, swimming almost 200 kilometres over 38 hours; the marine equivalent of climbing Mount Everest. This feat was achieved a little over a year after she undertook the world’s first swim from Cuba to Florida, a distance of 180 kilometres, following her non-stop swim from Cuba to US Territorial Waters in 1996.

Team Dick Caine has been based at the Carss Park War Memorial Swimming Pool and Gymnasium for the last four decades. Tens of thousands of young Australian boys and girls have trained for various sports in that time and some have gone on to National and International superstar status.
Sports like swimming, triathlon and boxing are what you would expect however 'Team Caine' goes beyond being stereotyped, having vast success in other sports like Harness Racing and Rugby League just to name two. Speaking of harness racing, Jenny and Dick Caine have finally succumbed to numerous requests to
start a supporters club, so they hired a special Club Manager, Ron Ziemiecki to
guide the club to success. We have created a separate section called Harness Racing and if you always wanted to
cheer a racehorse free of charges and fees, then join the 'Team Caine Supporters
Club' and let your passion run wild.
Here is yet another typical testimonial, "One of the areas of improvement that Nader 'Lionheart' Hamdan 32-1 (15) is already working on is his conditioning and strength, adding renown Olympic sport fitness coach Dick Caine to his team." Source Aussiebox.
