BRITISH SWIMMING ANNOUNCEMENT
British Swimming has received a thorough and detailed report
from an independent investigator into allegations against
National Performance Director Bill Sweetenham contained in
The Times newspaper on 23rd August 2005.
British Swimming can confirm that, broadly speaking, the Report
suggests allegations of bullying are not proven.
However, the Report has identified a number of issues which
will need to be discussed with Mr Sweetenham in an appropriate
fashion upon his return from Australia and thereafter matters
will need to be carefully considered by the British Swimming
Managing Board.
British Swimming is not prepared to go into further detail
with regard to the nature of these issues as this would be
unfair to Mr Sweetenham.
