Swimming

Over the 2024/25 season, Richard has excelled both as a competitive swimmer and as a leader in inclusive sport. Representing Port Glasgow Otters at regional and national events, he consistently trains independently to stay competition-ready and achieve personal bests. Beyond the pool, Richard volunteers weekly at Otters’ family sessions, supporting swimmers with diverse needs and acting as a patient, encouraging role model. His standout achievement this year was “The Otterly Long Swim” — a 12-hour, 17.5-mile swim at Gourock Pool to raise funds for the club. Richard’s effort raised £1,500 of the £2,200 total, helping secure the club’s finances. His dedication, leadership, and inclusive spirit make him a powerful ambassador for community sport and a true inspiration.
