It’s December, and hence time for our annual Swimmer of the Year awards. After a remarkable year for British Swimming, there’s still some standout contenders for the top awards – the video above highlights the main contenders for the male and female swimmer of the year. Other awards to be made include:
- Young swimmer of the year
- Disability swimmer of the year
- Open water swimmer of the year
- Performance of the year
- Breakthrough performance of the year
Results will be announced on pullbuoy during the week before New Year; in the meantime if you want to have your say, tweet us.
In my humble opinion….
Male Swimmer – Adam Peaty.
Female – Jazz Carlin
Young swimmer – Duncan Scott.
Disability Awimmer – Ollie Hynd.
Open Water – Jack Burnell.
Performance of the year – Adam Peaty’s relatively unseen World Record at Trials in April.
Breakthrough – James Guy’s all round performance at Worlds, especially in the 200 Free.
5 out of 7’s not bad Chris!
I’ll settle for that, Happy New Year.
Hoping for a big year in British Swimming, thanks for an excellent forum dedicated to swimming.
