Former Australian swim coach Dick Caine is facing fresh sexual assault charges after four more alleged victims came forward to police.

The 76-year-old was arrested at his home in Condell Park in Sydney’s south-west last month following allegations of sexual assault by two former students in the mid-1970s.

The girls were aged 15 and 16 at the time.

NSW Police said they received information about alleged multiple sexual assaults of a teenage girl at a swim school in Sydney’s south.

During their investigation, police said they also received information about the alleged assault of another teenage girl at the same school.

On Tuesday, police brought 11 additional charges against Mr Caine for alleged acts of sexual assault against four new victims.

The alleged victims are three girls aged between 10 and 15 in the 1970s, and a 24-year-old woman in the 1990s.

He was granted conditional bail and appeared at Sutherland Local Court on Tuesday.

A court has previously heard Mr Caine has terminal lung and throat cancer and is expected to have just months to live.

He was released on bail due to his medical condition following his arrest in June.

Mr Caine is recognized as one of the country’s most successful swim coaches, training 17 Olympians and athletes from other sports.

He has been inducted into the Australian Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame.

Mr Caine has denied any wrongdoing.
