He was also part of the WA team that won gold in the 200m handicap relay race.
Hornby said he was excited to join the local club.
“The best thing about the Mandurah swim club is definitely the great group of kids we have, how supportive the committee and parents have been since my appointment to head coach and the friendly family environment,” he said.
The club has a range of programs available for young swimmers, including the new Junior Dolphins for children aged five to eight.
