On behalf of Swim England East Region, I am delighted to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Craig Hunter of Hatfield Swimming Club and Tony Ward of Black Country and Potteries Masters SC (West Midlands) on their recent appointments in Paris! It is a groundbreaking achievement for British officials to serve as Technical Delegates for both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, a first that highlights their exceptional expertise and dedication.
This honour not only reflects their personal accomplishments but also underscores the esteemed reputation of British swimming officials on the international stage. Great Britain’s rich tradition in swimming and aquatic sports is further distinguished by this simultaneous representation at both the Olympics and Paralympics. It is a testament to the exceptional standards of British swimming and the outstanding quality of its officials.
Congratulations once again to Craig, Tony, and all those who have supported them. This is a proud moment for our sport!
