Parents who stood by acquitted swim coach Kyle Daniels split after years-long ordeal as father finds love again

Daily Mail · 3 hours ago

Kyle Daniels, the Sydney swim coach acquitted in 2021 of child sex abuse charges, has quietly rebuilt his life in Queensland, but the years-long legal ordeal has left a lasting mark on his family, with his parents divorcing shortly after his acquittal. The case, which centred on allegations he inappropriately touched young female students during swimming lessons in 2018 and 2019, drew intense public scrutiny throughout, with his parents James and Janine standing by him at every court appearance.

Daniels, now 27, faced 10 charges and further allegations from nine girls before being acquitted and having remaining charges dropped; he has since moved away from Sydney's Northern Beaches to work in recruitment in Queensland. His father, James "Jim" Daniels, has settled in Melbourne, sold the family's Balgowlah home for $2.45 million in 2024, and started a new relationship with Alexandra Pym, with whom he is launching a bathroom product business. The former couple, though divorced, remain on amicable terms.
