Former Hockey Australia boss Mark Anderson and the ex-head of British swimming Michael Scott were appointed on Tuesday to rebuild Australia's swim team after their dismal London Olympics campaign.

Anderson becomes chief executive, replacing Kevin Neil, who quit in the fallout from last summer's Games, with the swim team's performance marred by ill-discipline, drug use and drunkenness.

Scott, who was the high-performance boss for British Swimming for five years in the lead-up to the 2012 London Olympics, assumes a similar role in Australia.
