Olympic swimming medallist Michael Jamieson returned to the University of Bath, the place where he both trained and studied, to become the latest inductee into the Hall of Fame for Sport.
Jamieson famously won 200m breaststroke silver at the London 2012 Olympic Games, smashing the British record three times during the championships and only being denied gold by a World Record swim from Hungary’s Daniel Gyurta.
He also won silver at both the Delhi 2010 and Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, the latter in his native Scotland, and earned podium places at the World and European Short-Course Championships during his six years with the British Swimming National Centre Bath squad.

Nearby, writer Eliot Haworth of Fantastic Man magazine can be found braving the often icy water at the men’s pond. “I wear a pair of quite skimpy ultramarine Adidas Lycra trunks and nothing else,†he says. “They are the same pair I bought when I was living in Finland and started going ice swimming.

Why Ian Thorpe wants you to get swimming this March
ReachOut is calling on Aussies to take part in Laps for Life, a month-long swimming challenge to raise funds and awareness for young people in Australia living with mental health difficulties.
The event is backed by Olympic swimming champ Ian Thorpe, who has been ReachOut ambassador since he learned about the service while working on an anti-bullying program.
“Myself, and so many Australians know firsthand what it’s like to face mental health challenges,” says Thorpe, who has spoken about his struggles with depression dating back to his teens.
