Four years later he won another bronze medal in the 440 yards freestyle relay, at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica.[6]

He won the 1961 ASA British National Championship 110 yards freestyle title, the 220 yards freestyle title, was three times winner of the 440 Yards freestyle (1960, 1961, 1963)[7][8] and the 1963 mile champion.[9]

He started swimming in 1948 at Penguin Swimming Club in Shepherd's Bush. He was not only a swimmer, but also competed for Great Britain in water polo. Around 1966 he moved to Watford where he coaches the local water polo team. His youngest son Graham is also a swimmer and water polo player; he competed in Australia,[4] but in 2012 was a captain of the Watford polo team.[10]
